I too loved Prada and Prej. But then I'm a devout Jane Austen fan! I read: Fire, Blonde Zombies, Carpe Diem (LOVED IT!), Oh. My. Gods, Dusie, and I'm just finishing Silver Phonenix (LOVED IT TOO!), and Humming Numbers (just started). I love reading books under the tree too. Sigh. Actually, I just love reading! I'm going to check out these other books you mentioned. I actually read a lot over the holidays thanks to plane and car trips. I too loved Prada and Prej. But then I’m a devout Jane Austen fan!

It's about a young girl who proclaims, right off the bat, that she's "not a dog person." Kind-hearted and observant, Charlotte realizes her family isn't the best home for the St. Bernard her dad impulsively bought. The book follows her quest to find the gentle giant a much better situation. Though I thought I knew for sure how this book was going to end, I was surprised (but in a good way!) A tender tale about a girl standing up for what's right. I recently finished the MG novel “The Dog Days of Charlotte Hayes” by Marlane Kennedy.
