loved your quick reviews! Thanks!
That's a difficult task- one-sentence summaries! I find it hard to do even about my own book. And you didn't even resort to "this book is about"! A good exercise for students and the books from their summer (fun) reading.
Didn't leave my email but I'll send, should I be a winner!
What a fun idea for a post! Short, but sweet. Thanks, Caroline.
I'd love bookmarks! I'll pass them on to our librarians. They need to know how to spend their money. ;)

I've read My Very Un Fairy Tale Life--LOVED it!! The others are on my TBR list. Isn't Tess's cover gorgeous?! :-)
These concise little reviews really grab my attention! Nice job, Caroline.
To Kill a Mockingbird for the middle-grade set?? Wow! I've GOT to read that book.
Those all look wonderful! Adding to my pile...
