\"\"When I was leaving my recent interview with Mary Kay at the Edmonds Bookshop I stopped to survey the front window. Michelle Bear, assistant manager of the bookshop, had arranged a display of books on refugees from around the world. I hurried back inside and asked her if that list would appear on the Edmonds Bookshop website http:\/\/www.edmondsbookshop.com<\/a> Michelle assured me it could. Two days later she sent me the entire list which I have permission to reprint for your perusal.<\/p>\n

Thanks, Michelle! the display invited me to read outside my usual genres and was a timely topic. I hope all of you will consider reading some of these titles. I know the Edmonds Bookshop will gladly order any for you (and ship to you if you are out of the area)<\/p>\n
