The Independence of Miss Mary
Bennett
by Colleen McCullough
Everyone knows the story of Elizabeth and Jane
Bennet in Pride and Prejudice. But what about their
sister Mary? At the conclusion of Jane Austen's classic novel,
Mary, bookish, awkward, and by all accounts, unmarriageable, is
sentenced to a dull, provincial existence in the backwaters of
Britain. Now, master storyteller Colleen McCullough rescues Mary
from her dreary fate with The Independence of Miss Mary
Bennet, a page-turning sequel set twenty years after
Austen's novel closes.

Diary
of a Wimpy Kid
By Jeff
Kinney
Greg is a conflicted soul:
he wants to do the right thing, but the constant quest for
status and girls seems to undermine his every effort. His
attempts to prove his worthiness in the popularity race (he
estimates he’s currently ranked 52nd or 53rd) are constantly
foiled by well-meaning parents, a younger and older brother,
and nerdy friends.
