For you I choose

Thanks Clare. I was already set to read Beautiful Creatures in Jan for MOTM and because I'm getting psyched for the movie. So I'm going to read that and your suggestion of American Gods. Bought it today. :) Just trying not to start early. Also, I might try to get to Let the Right One In as well if I have time. I saw both the foreign film and the American remake. I liked them both (the subtitled one was better), and I really was interested in the book. Now I have a good reason to make it a priority.
