I promise I'll do a new individual post for each of the Top 20 this weekend.<BR/><BR/>Also, I just got the Word doc ballot a couple days ago and have been working on it; it should be ready to send out tomorrow. I'm going to give teens an extra week to submit votes; they'll be due by Friday, May 30 instead.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your patience...Karriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17229435081961979000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-482209358718993270.post-14781855911171051802008-03-05T15:27:00.000-08:002008-03-05T15:27:00.000-08:00Hello.

I still love Ishmael, and ready to pubicly admit that I am not that crazy about Part time Indian, I know, I know, how is that possible. I am reading Peak (well listening to it) and it okay so far.Anne Kellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16306258002797951815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-482209358718993270.post-37525117082259531912008-02-22T15:17:00.000-08:002008-02-22T15:17:00.000-08:00Patty - Cool!

He has a new book coming out which appeals to younger readers, so I think he's a good choice! I told him he wouldn't get paid unless he makes us laugh! :)Pattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00442781741306334246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-482209358718993270.post-14753981701483622832008-02-19T12:58:00.000-08:002008-02-19T12:58:00.000-08:00So I haven't previously read some of the "big" nam...So I haven't previously read some of the "big" name books (as most of them weren't in my group)- <BR/><BR/>So I finally just read <I>"Evolution, Me...."</I> and thought it was FANTASTIC. It was SO good! I'm recommending it like crazy to people. I feel like it should win but I still have a lot of other great Top 20 books to read! <BR/><BR/>But for now it's a favorite!Janice Heilmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07749414302657952418noreply@blogger.com
