Mallory's Christmas Wish

Mallory's Christmas Wish
Baby-sitters Club #92
By Ann M. Martin

Not sure why the parents didn't sit down with the producers/directors and try to work out a compromise, that would have taught their kids more than just walking away when things went wrong.

Little Dorritt

Little Dorritt
By Charles Dickens
0460876821 929p

Beautiful and intricate, still not sure how everything fit together so I'll probably read this one again someday. Loved all the characters. Don't know why this was billed as Dickens' most miserable novel, I think it's one of his more uplifting ones.

Yeah for animals! I think every story made me either laugh or cry. Ok, sometimes both.
