Sunday Salon: Books Read in June, 2012

Young Adult Fiction:
Bumped by Megan McCafferty. One word review: BLECH.
Sabotaged by Margaret Peterson Haddix.
Torn by Margaret Peterson Haddix. Good entries in this time travel series for middle grade readers.
Code Name: Verity by Elizabeth Wein. Semicolon review here.
War Horse by Michael Morpurgo. Semicolon review here.

Adult Fiction:
Palace Walk by Naguib Mahfouz. Semicolon review here.
The Summer of Katya by Trevanian. Semicolon review here.
Bridge of Scarlet Leaves by Kristina McMorris. O.K. but not a favorite.
Dorchester Terrace by Anne Perry. Typical Anne Perry. I think I’ve outgrown or just become tired of this particular series of Victorian-setting mysteries. Or Ms. Perry is becoming repetitious and boring.

Nonfiction:
Crockett Johnson and Ruth Krauss: How an Unlikely Couple Found Love, Dodged the FBI, and Transformed Children’s Literature by Philip Nel.
The Big House: A Century in the Life of an American Summer Home by George Howe Colt.
