Genre Fiction

Dear Santa:

With a low salary, in a bad economy, I’ve been unable to buy new books much this year. If you still have room in your bag for me these titles are all on my “buy when I have lots of spare cash” list. They’ve all gotten good reviews, and the authors are all ones whose work I’ve loved over the years.

* The Hour I First Believed by Wally Lamb

* Knit Two or Comfort Foods by Kate Jacobs

* Certain Girls by Jennifer Weiner

* The Almost Moon by Alice Sebold

* Belong to Me by Marisa De Los Santos

* Chasing Harry Winston by Lauren Weisberger

* A Wolf at the Table by Augusten Burroughs

For the kids in my life, dear Santa, can you please bring some good children’s books, too? How about some of these:

* Fancy Nancy by Jane O’Connor - every little girl needs a copy of the original book from this collection.

* Christina Katerina and the Box by Patricia Lee Gauch - I’ve looked everywhere, Santa, but stores don’t stock this classic any more. Maybe you could help?

* Doris TheSaurus by Maria L. Corkern - you can see how cute it looks here, plus I think every kid should love synonyms and this book will help. Can you add my mom to the list for this one too, please? Because her name is Doris.

And, although I prefer fiction, some nonfiction books have been catching my eye lately, too.

* Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver

* In Defense of Food or The Omnivore’s Dilemma by Michael Pollan

* Thanking the Monkey by Karen Dawn

Thanks,

Sally

P.S. I’ve been really good this year; I promise.
