WE HAVE LIFTOFF!!!!

Ok, so I'm not over the moon or anything,

but I am sure a lot less crabby.

I EXPECT TO TALK ABOUT THESE... :)

http://library.booksite.com/6947/nl/?list=CNL16

I'm also seriously curious --

I've read a lot this year and less

rather than more has knocked me socks off.

What books do you recommend?

And, what can you not wait to read?

A FEW THAT HAVE TICKLED MY FANCY:

White Cat by Holly Black

Dirty Little Secrets by Cynthia Jaynes Omololu

All Unquiet Things by Anna Jarza

Fat Cat by Robin Brande

Amy & Roger's Epic Detour by Morgan Matson

The Line by Teri Hall

Vibes by Amy Kathleen Ryan

Sorta Like a Rockstar by Matthew Quick

Will Grayson, Will Grayson by John Green

The Last Summer of the Death Warriors

by Francisco X. Stork

What might you recommend? :)

Inquiring Minds Wanna Know...So, let's GO!

Disclaimer: I'm a wee bit disgruntled @ the moment

'cuz the pretty new webpage I've spent ALL day perfecting

in order to illuminate the path to pure reading bliss...

Well, it is taking FOREVER to load.

Guess that means we've got to wait a while.

But here's a few in (semi) oldies case you missed 'em:

and most certainly read-worthy!)
