Sunday Salon: Reading, Read, To Read #50

Happy Sunday! You may remember that I reviewed Miss Hargreaves by Frank Baker last month. It was a novel that I just LOVED. Happy, happy news, I discovered that it is currently a bargain book at Amazon. So for about $6 you can discover for yourself just how wonderful this one is!!!

I only have one book to go on my 2010 TBR Challenge. Which one of these should I try to read?

• Everwild by Neal Shusterman (432 pages)
• Ice by Sarah Beth Durst (308 pages)
• The Doom Machine by Mark Teague (320 pages)
• Captain Wentworth's Diary by Amanda Grange (293 pages)
• The Lost Memoirs of Jane Austen by Syrie James (352 pages)
• Tender Morsels by Margo Lanagan (448 pages)
• Dreamdark: Blackbringer by Laini Taylor (368 pages)
• The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd (336 pages)
• The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger (560 pages)
• Brief Gaudy Hour: A Novel of Anne Boleyn by Margaret Campbell Barnes (382 pages)

You might have noticed that I didn't include New York by Edward Rutherfurd! And I've already decided that Grapes of Wrath and East of Eden will be on next year's list.
