FYI: (Finally!) One HOT Read!

Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia & Margie Stohl

1 of the latest installments to

the modern gothic/tortured romance genre--

and this time it's a good one.

I've got the sleep deprivation to prove it!

Note: the HOLD list is GROWING,

So, GET ON IT! :)

COMING SOON...

Top Picks: 2009

Mine, that is, but feel free to cast your vote!

I'd love to read those that I've missed!!!

Is It Just Me?

Or, is there simply 5 not-so-hotso books

published per 1 wowzer?

Still sadly waiting to be blown away...! :(

Nevertheless, a few recent reads (in order of enjoyment!):

1. Rosie & Skate by Beth Ann Bauman (yes, I really, really liked this one!)

2. Twenty Boy Summer by Sarah Ockler (better than avg chick lit)

3. Breathless by Jessica Warman (quite interesting)

4. Viola in Reel Life by Andriana Trigani (cute & artsy)

5. Girl to the Core by Stacey Goldblatt (yep, it's girly!)

6. Betrayal of Natalie Hargrove by Lauren Kate (4 older readers!)

7. Swoon by Nina Malkin (again, 4 older readers!)

8. The Seven Rays by Jessica Bendinger (have a feeling that others' will like more than I...)

Up Next: Beautiful Creatures; The Uninvited; Fallen; & Once Was Lost

I'll keep you posted...

Gobble, Gobble, (but save the turkeys!)

Perhaps it's time to try tofurkey?

(then again, maybe not--ever the vegan,

even I won't touch the stuff!)

Happy Thanksgiving All,

WHEREVER it is that you ARE?!?

Recent Reads:

Dreaming Anastasia by Joy Premble

Random Analysis--thought provking, fantastical, cool Russian mystique, an exploration of the senses, the power of dreams, & time tripping realities. Could become a series...

My Invented Life by Lauren Bjorkman

Random Analysis -- frustratingly good, cool premise, & almost annoyingly realistic characters. Well done, but not sure I can say that I enjoyed it!

Last, but not least, check out my new FAVORITE blog!!!
