I loved Lord's book, too - she has a way of getting at certain complexities in very accessible ways for young readers. I had to put down Doerr's book - so haunting and sad, I just didn't have the courage to keep reading. Perhaps it is a winter book for me.Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13626451110946889157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-67453485116703865112015-07-13T18:38:29.410-06:002015-07-13T18:38:29.410-06:00I often take too long to finish a series, but do t...I often take too long to finish a series, but do try!
