Sounds good... I love vampire series! :)


That should be the cover blurb!

Oh, and a small mountain of graphic novels: I wanted to get some Captain America background (started with Winter Soldier volume 1; all 4 were surprisingly well written and beautifully drawn) before the movie comes out since he's so iconic, and someone told me that the Wachowski Bro.s stole some ideas from a book called The Invisibles; and there's a whole pile of other stuff besides.

I loved that book. I just read it last week. I'd love to hear what you think about it.



I really enjoyed both books you listed. I hope you enjoy them!

Yay Beth! I love the Harry Potter series!!

:) Enjoy them! Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is my favorite in the series, but the one you are reading is my sister's favorite.



Beth, if you haven't read it yet, Anne of Green Gables is a good hot-tea-read. :-D
Currently, my boyfriend and I reading each other the Phantom Tollbooth before bed. We're reading three chapters a night. It's nice to read a book out loud with him and share something special with each other.

April, that is a really neat thing to do. My hubby would rather stab himself in the eye repeatedly then read. :(



I really enjoyed reading "Sarah's Key."

LOVE that book!


I'm about to finish Across the Nightingale Floor by Lian Hearn. After that, I'm going to finish a non-YA book, then start Rowan Hood Outlaw Girl of Sherwood Forest by Nancy Springer.

I like it a lot, just a bit miffed at the Tribe. I own the third book, so before I continue I need to obtain the second book. I'm thinking I'm going to start the second book next month. :-)

UGH!!!!! I saw it at the thrift store two weeks ago, but it was gone last week. I totally would have grabbed it for you.
bummer.

Avalon High is good, Rebel Angels is really good.
The Summoning is just OK so far.
Blue Moon, however, is quite depressing. At this point. And it doesn't look like things are going to change.




Oh, Misty, Love That Dog is such a great little book, one of my favorites.

I think the series picks up with book 3, if you feel like sticking around that long, but it always remains flawed and is going to become dated in about two seconds flat.
Alisha: Coraline is one of the creepiest young children's books I've ever read, and I love it for that.
Kathy: I know. I've read it twice before, once for a Children's Lit class, and once with my sister. I'm looking forward to reading it again.

I'm finding it really difficult not to compare Marked and Twilight. When I read Twilight last year, I found it hard to get into, but found myself enjoying some parts of the book immensely. It's the same with Marked at the minute. I'll keep reading it though; I try never to give up on a book.

Still working on Avalon High, Blue Moon, Rebel Angels, The Summoning.
Reading 5 books at the same time is difficult!
