First Books of 2011

My reading in 2011 got off to a slow start, thanks in part to Season 4 of Friday Night Lights, the very last episode of The Wire, and a free red box rental. I have managed to finish a children's book, What Happened on Fox Street by Tricia Springstubb. I'd been waiting for it to come in at the library for ages now, and it was well worth the wait. It's gotten Newbery buzz in some circles - I can't wait for awards to be announced tomorrow. Meanwhile, with cold, wet weather here (even some snow!) I'm going to curl up and finish Russian Winter by Daphne Kalotay tonight. Review to follow soon.
