And if it's been raining at all where you are, can you bring that with you too?

Hope you love it here. ...Welcome to the Windy City! Hope you love it here. :) If you're looking for MG/YA, you can also try any of Blue Balliett's books. They're set in Hyde Park, near University of Chicago, and the kids have to solve mysteries related to the Art Institute, Frank Lloyd Wright, etc. Mystery: any of the V.I. Warshawsky novels by Sara Paretsky. Classics: Sister Carrie by Theodore Dreiser or Native Son by Richard Wright. Other works: The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros; Never a City So Real by Alex Kotlowitz; The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger; and almost anything by Saul Bellow or Nelson Algren. And I'd be remiss if I didn't throw in a few romances - anything by Julie James and the Chicago Stars series by Susan Elizabeth Phillips. :)<br /><br />If you want to know the character of the city, though, I never get tired of reading Mike Royko's columns collected in One More Time. Short and easy to read, but lots of info about the people and neighborhoods of real Chicagoans. Have a great time!!Sarah (The Brazen Bookworm)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12259499339333351558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7497062501059248350.post-54689859920320024962012-07-18T05:32:48.078-05:002012-07-18T05:32:48.078-05:00I'm looking forward to seeing mi hijo.I'm looking forward to seeing <i>mi hijo.</i>Deb Nance at Readerbuzzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12128529491888701996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7497062501059248350.post-27301777789144902472012-07-18T05:21:31.004-05:002012-07-18T05:21:31.004-05:00I don't have any books to suggest, but I hope ...I don't have any books to suggest, but I hope you have a fabulous time.Louisehttp://astrongbeliefinwicker.blogspot.com.au/noreply@blogger.com
