You’re right, I’ve never read any of them, but about half of them are on my radar. Calpurnia Tate and North of Beautiful are on a list of books I want to pick up from the library.

The Artichoke’s Heart would be on my list too. I loved, loved, loved that book and it definitely deserved more publicity!

I am very intrigued about The Teashop Girls. Can’t wait to find it! The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate has been tempting me from the New Arrivals shelf, but I don’t want to be selfish Artichoke’s Heart looks fantastic, I just added it. Thanks for the great list!

Great list! I had Artichoke’s Heart on my to-read list and had forgotten. BACK ON!

I bet there will be a lot more love for Calpurnia Tate now that its a Newbery Honor!

I’m with Lenore…I need to move Calpurnia Tate up on my TBR!

The Teashop Girls sounds so sweet. I think I saw it on another picks list, so it might make the uber-list on Monday.

These all look great! I have the Artichoke one on my shelf thanks to one of your previous recommendations and bought the Teashop Girls for my stepsister who loved it so keep up the great recommendations!

I’ve put “Evolution of Calpunia Tate” on hold at the library. And I’m going to move up “North of Beautiful” on my TBR pile! Great suggestions.

What a great list. I’m definitely adding The Evolution Of Calpurnia Tate to my list, and will be keeping my eye out for the others, too.

Calpurnia and North of Beautiful both changed the way I think about literature and writing and the world. Love those books!

And I believe I have a copy of Enthusiasm somewhere in my Book Henge, so I will go looking for it later today!
