I know not everyone celebrates Christmas, but in many countries, there is a big break coming up, and I thought I would share some good vacation-type reads. So put these on hold at the library now to prepare for a long period of time for relaxation and good reading.
1. His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman
(The Golden Compass, The Subtle Knife, The Amber Spyglass)-I read this series once over a break and it is fantastic. Deep and meaningful while still a quick read. The 2nd one is my favorite.
2. Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy
This is probably a challenge for a lot of people, but it's one of the most amazing books I have ever read. I tackled this one over a Christmas break and finished in a little over a week. It's a good book to go for when you have a long stretch of time to devote to it.
3. Inheritance series by Christopher Paolini
(Eragon, Eldest, Brisingr) This is a good chance to catch up before the 4th book comes out. (Anyone know when that is, btw?) People may laugh at this pick, but the books are very easy reads and pretty addicting. You'll get into them quickly which is perfect for the holidays. You want to relax after...

The Adoration of Jenna Fox is a tale about a teenage girl finding her identity. Even though it's a young adult book, I would reccomend it to anyone.
Summary: Seventeen-year-old Jenna Fox has just awoken from a year-long coma-so she's been told-and she is still recovering from the terrible accident that caused it. But what happened before that? She's been given home movies chronicling her entire life, which spark memories to surface. But are the memories really hers? And why won't anyone in her family talk about the accident? Jenna is becoming more curious. But she is also afraid of what she might find out if she ever gets up the courage to ask her questions.
Sound good? That's what I thought. However, after I read the book, I found that the summary was slightly misleading. Especially the line "But are the memories really hers?" In fact, the story has a slight sci-fi feel to it-but don't let that turn you off! I think this story has something in it for everyone, and I think you should definetely read it!
