The Bible, Speak,
The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-time Indian,

  1. Sounds like a great book! Losing a friend as a teen would have to be devastating.

    I like that list of books, too. :) Mine would be similar, although it would have some Agatha Christie on it.

  3. What an interesting context for a book. We all confront loss at some point in our lives, and addressing that in a well-written novel can be really effective. I like the choice of books, too. Thanks for sharing, both.
