Nophoto-m-50x66 I'm with you, Beth. Still, even if I only pick up one or two recommendations from Jon and his crew of highly literate, qualified critics, it will be a good thing.

Nophoto-f-50x66 i feel like such an ignorant high school student looking at all the books you've read, reviewed, and are going to read. especially since the majority of my reading has revolved around the harry potter books. preeettttyyy lame if you ask me.
