• The Help by Katherine Stockett - I actually listened to this on CDs and loved the voice of each character.  I would highly recommend this book to those who love good fiction, especially historical fiction.
• Sarah's Key by Tatian de Rosnay brings to life the horrific events of July 16, 1942 Paris.  Sarah and her family are part of the roundup of Jews, conducted by the French police, and her story is researched by an American journalist who lives in Paris.  The first half of the book was intense and difficult to read - or put down.

• Dies the Fire / Stirling, S.M.  (books 1 in Emberverse series)  A great Postapocolypitc read! March 17, 1998 an unexplained event survivors refer to as “The Change” occurs over Nantucket. The resulting energy wave nullifies all electricity, guns, explosives, internal combustion engines and steam power. Those who make it through the dying-time are faced with making a life for themselves based on technology from the middle ages.
