I totally just copied you 🙂 Different books, of course. I am interested in your thoughts on Bee Season. Yellow Star is the only one I haven’t read – I’m anxious to hear your review and see if I should add it to my pile 🙂

I think I’m going to join you on this one Melissa! I’ve been reading a blog by Robert Avrech. He’s a screen writer and has authored a book for Jewish youths, something a lot like our tennis shoe series I think.

I’m doing this one too. I just realized I have an unread copy of Bee Season in my library (it’s rather large, I lose track) so I’m adding it to my challenge list too. Thanks for reminding me. I’m reading books for Jewish Book Month also right now and will update soon with lots of good recommendations of Jewish lit.
