Michelle Brunet (gruxita) | 2 comments I read the summaries for the books from Huffington Post and I'd love to read "Sweetness #9" which sound hilarious.... "The rise and fall of great powers" looks interesting and "Your face in mine" sounds mysterious and I would like to read it too!

Thanks for sharing this great list.

Anita | 104 comments I recently read "Your Face in Mine." The premise is very intersting, but I don't think the book was great. Would lead to lots of discussion, though!
