	Genevieve gave to: A Game of Thrones (A Song of Ice and Fire, Vol. 1) by George R.R. Martin	my rating:
	Genevieve said: "Okay, okay - this might be the nerdiest series I've ever read. It's something you'd expect every person who has ever gone to a Renaissance Fair to have read. However, it's Martin's willingness to fully develop character and then kill them off that is...more " 1 comment
	Genevieve gave to: Un Lun Dun (paperback) by China Miéville	my rating:
	Genevieve said: "China Meiville can be tricky to wrap your brain around, so I really liked this book even though it clearly for kids. He really created a rich world (the November Tree is my favorite) with a nice heroine and good plot, if a little predictable. " add a comment
	Genevieve gave to: The Eyes of the Dragon (Paperback) by Stephen King	my rating:
	Genevieve said: "I can re-read this one over and over. The first time you get caught up in Peter - what happens to Peter? But if you read it again you realize how beautifully sad Thomas is. " add a comment
	Genevieve gave to: Into Thin Air: A Personal Account of the Mt. Everest Disaster (Paperback) by Jon Krakauer	my rating:
	Genevieve said: "I had NO SYMPATHY for the main character. I wanted him to die for his stupidity. " add a comment
	Genevieve gave to: The Sirens of Titan (Paperback) by Kurt Vonnegut	my rating:
	Genevieve said: "I think this one is my favorite Vonnegut, currently. I switch between many of his often, though, depending on what's currently appealing to me. " add a comment

	Genevieve gave to: Neverwhere: A Novel by Neil Gaiman (Goodreads author!)	my rating:
	read in January, 2006 Genevieve said: "It's a toss up, but this is my favorite book of this author. I also like Stardust and American Gods quite a bit, but this one is the funniest with the best plot. " add a comment
	Genevieve gave to: Abarat, Book 1: Abarat (Hardcover) by Clive Barker	my rating:
	read in January, 2008 Genevieve said: "Again, a very descriptive author so sometimes the plot doesn't move along as quickly as you'd like. However, the author painted all the illustrations and I really, really liked them. This is a first in a series and I don't know how many books are pl...more " add a comment
	Genevieve gave to: The Golden Compass (His Dark Materials, Book 1) by Philip Pullman	my rating:
	read in February, 2008 Genevieve said: "I read all three of the trilogy. They read almost like stand-alone novels, switching main characters and perspectives each time. I really like some of the names: Serafina Pekkela is my favorite. I felt like the author kind of lost the thread of thi...more " add a comment
	Genevieve gave to: Pattern Recognition (Paperback) by William Gibson	my rating:
	read in March, 2008 Genevieve said: "Basically, a decent beach book. " add a comment
