Do you have a book on your PBS bookshelf that deserves a special spotlight? Is there a book which has been unfairly overlooked? Tell us a little about a hidden gem on your shelf.

I have a Mary Engelbreit book on my shelf called Don't Look Back. It's a cute little book of ME paintings & clever sayings. It would make a nice gift book for the Mary Engelbreit art lover or someone going through changes or a difficult time in life. Last Edited on: 4/25/10 2:56 PM ET - Total times edited: 2 |

First of all, this is a great idea. We should do this every week.
This was a great book about a woman whose baby was abducted and about the woman who took him. It looks at both points of view. Very good, sad story. Last Edited on: 4/17/10 11:20 AM ET - Total times edited: 2 |

I have "The Tiger Rising" by Kate DiCamillo. It's a great young-adult fiction story about friendship and belonging. |

I have this poetry book. But it seems that no one reads poetry anymore. It deserves to be looked at.
Sun Up to Sun Down is a compilation of poems, prose and short stories that deal with issues that we face in life. Whether it is losing someone from separation or death, facing challenges in our lives due to being overweight or overwhelmed, understanding our faith or sharing it with others, confronting the dark history of America or the beauty of America, Sun Up to Sun Down has something for you.
Sun Up to Sun Down was written to be read silently as well as orally. It will make you laugh and make you cry. But most importantly, it will make you think. The words are simple and easy to understand, yet, deliver messages that will touch each of us, whether we are young, old or in between. |

I have a HC copy of Discovering the Body by Mary Howard.
This is a gripping novel filled with pychological suspense, sensitivity and emotional complexity. |

A Hope in the Unseen: An American Odyssey from the Inner City to the Ivy League (by Ron Suskind) If you're smart enough, it's no problem to get yourself a good education and do anything you want, no matter your background, right? That's what I thought until I read this book and discovered the huge challenges that are faced by inner city kids trying to enter the academic word. This is the fascinating true story of a bright young man's difficult journey from inner city D.C. to Brown University. |
