The New York Times has this interesting list of books for "girls" to read. I really hate gendered reading lists like this but that’s a blog for another day. Looking at the list, I think I’ve read four. All four were very good.
Interesting to see Luna on the list – I wonder if it makes the list of books for boys to read, ha!
Flipped, also very good. I think Michelle read this before we did. Maybe right after we brought her home for school. Or maybe it was Chris’s ex g/f who recommended it? I don’t know, I just know we’ve all read it and we enjoyed it quite a bit.
The Earth, My Butt and Other Big Round Things was good but not something I’d recommend off the top of my head.
Speak was a tough read, I’m surprised it’s got the 14 and up label. I thought parents were more conservative than I am…
Oh wait, I’ve read 5 – Tiger Eyes, sort of boring actually. I think I’ve outgrown Judy Blume or something. Which now that I think about it, is really very sad. I sound like my mother! Ack!

I haven’t read any of them but I do have Speak and Uglies on my TBR list (and Pretties which is a sequel to Uglies).
Read Speak – that whole pretties/uglies thing bugs me.
