bookshelves: 2009, childrens-ya, just-plain-creepy, speculative-end-of-the-world
Creep-tastic in oh so many ways. A love affair between cousins, an Occupation in England, running from death and mayhem, trying to live off blackberries and hazelnuts. A thought-provoking book about finding yourself and surviving. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/78884783 The Golden Compass (His Dark Materials, #1) by Philip Pullman

bookshelves: 2009, childrens-ya, tear-jerkers
A lyrical and heart-breaking novel. Kind of predictable and at times overly sentimental, but definitely points of beauty throughout. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/76801275 to: Writing Down the Bones (Paperback) by Natalie Goldberg
bookshelves: 2009, non-fiction, on-writing
Very zen. Short essays that you can read individually over time or digest as one whole book. A handy little item to have nearby when you are searching for your writer-self. A little bit about writing, a lot about opening yourself to the creative mind hidden inside you. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/78488099 to: Artemis Fowl (Artemis Fowl, #1) by Eoin Colfer
bookshelves: 2009, childrens-ya
A 12 year old boy who behaves and speaks like a 30 year old man. Not a very convincing or likable character. Also, fairies who use futuristic technology kind of takes the magic out of the whole thing. I was very disappointed by this book. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/78658700 A Brief History of Montmaray (Paperback) by Michelle Cooper
