When I saw Okay For Now, I thought that would've placed higher on account of being fresher in people's minds, given that Wednesday Wars didn't place last time. I ranked this #2, and it was the one book I most wanted to appear here (given that my #1 choice was always going to show up). I need to read that NYT review. She's dead on - this was my favorite book read a few years ago, and the next year my son and his friends were all assigned it in fourth grade and they thought it was the best book they'd ever read. Needed that boost of joy tonight. Hooray! I am so thrilled to see this here!!! and so high!!!

Part of the reason I couldn't get ten posts up today. I was too exhausted after having to write some original posts. Whew! You’re dead on, Jess. Part of the reason I couldn’t get ten posts up today.
