I hadn't seen the cover of Disobedience yet, I like it! Have a great week!
Viewing your "younger" titles, might I suggest "Because of Mr. Terupt"? If you haven't read it, it really is worth a shot.
Wow, you read all those books in one week? Some of those are pretty intense. I've read the Bryson, I think - might be confusing it with another of his titles.
Your pile of books on Genesis sounds fun. :)
Helen, I like this cover, too. The paperback cover is different.
Preschool's review of Because of Mr. Terupt is here: http://mrsjonespreschool.blogspot.com/2011/02/because-of-mrterupt-childrens-novel-by.html
Bookfool, I spent weeks reading Bryon's book a little at a time, but I read all the others last week, completely.
