In the YA category: “Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy” by Gary D. Schmidt.

And I second “Hard Times and Holy Places” by Kristin Belcher in LDS non-fiction.

LDS Non-Fiction: “Hard Times and Holy Places”
by Kristen Warner Belcher. (My sister-in-law.)

This book is amazing and perfect for anyone you know who might be suffering or just needs a lift or change of attitude.

5 STARS!!!

(Buy it at Des Book or Amazon!)

Must agree with Amira & m2theh — Actor/Housewife was simply the most ridiculous book ever. EVER.

And some how I missed the boat on The Help. A white woman’s portrayal, in 1st person narrative, of a uniquely black experience bordered on offensive to me. But it certainly has been accepted widely by the white community.

The Magic of Ordinary Days by Anne Creel
The Book Thief by Marcus Zusak
Sarah’s Key by Tatiana de Rosnay
Savvy by Ingrid Law
Dairy Queen by Catherine Gilbert Murdock
