I love these ideas, so so cute.
I read "The Help" and just finished "Sarah's Key" while on vacation. Both were very powerful, but very good books. I would recommend them to anyone.

I'd also add the Alchemist to your book list. It's a wonderful book for new graduates that are starting on their adventure into adulthood.
