FINISHED:

Sedaris, David. (2008). When you are engulfed in flames. New York: Little, Brown and Company.

[What really needs to be said about this one besides, if you've never read anything by him you are doing yourself a GREAT disservice. Not quite as hilarious and out there as some of his earlier stories, though it has some really funny moments. The man is just a master of the embedded punchline and "turn of phrase". It's also wonderful to see a gay male author achieve such great success and have people read about his and Hugh's relationship in such a "matter of fact/we're just the same as you" way. Had heard a few of these stories when we saw him read a couple of years back - which reminds me: also seek out these stories on CD, listen to them on NPR, or see him read live - his voice is one of a kind and makes the stories all that more fantastically gut-busting.]

STARTED:
Hunter, Erin. (2008). Seekers: The quest begins. New York: Working Partners/HarperCollins.

[Read the first of the Warriors titles a couple of years ago and have been meaning to pick up the next in the series. Saw this new series about bears and thought I'd give it a try...]
