In our ongoing series of year-end favorites, here are the rest of the Odyssey staff picks for best book of 2011:
Sydney Towne picked Design*Sponge by Grace Bonney for her top book of 2011 because not only did she use it at home, she used the DIY sections to make her Christmas and Channukah presents this year.
Joan says her pick is Harry Belafonte's My Song, because it is a remarkable memoir of not only a talented entertainer, but a peace and social justice activist from the Civil Rights movement, through anti-apartheid, right up until today.
Marika McCoola gets to choose two since she's our children's buyer. Her favorite picture book is The Sniffles for Bear by Bonny Becker because it is a hysterical story that is even better when it is read with all of the different voices. Finnikin of the Rock by Melina Marchetta gets her nod for favorite young adult novel.
And last but not least, Emily Crowe picks Erin Morgenstern's The Night Circus because it is a rare book that allows you to believe in magic and makes you want to dye your hair red to commemorate the experience.
