Just got back from the library with a new haul of books to read. 
A couple of my Rainbow challenge books, a couple of random YAs that looked good, a couple of mysteries, and my obligatory classic :P (I read so much that I figure I should sprinkle some of the classics in there with my "fun books" and become more well-read in the process!)

The classics, though they can be worthwhile in the end, often end up drawn out and difficult to get into. That's why I usually only get one classic per haul (which is usually around 10 books) and tell myself that I'm not allowed to read the book I'm most excited about until I finish my classic :P Last haul I had to finish Lolita before I could start Catching Fire; this time I have to finish The Metamorphosis before The Boyfriend List: 15 Guys, 11 Shrink Appointments, 4 Ceramic Frogs and Me, Ruby Oliver...it usually works out :P

. I had to read that in high school and it turned out to be one of my favorite books and very exciting. So you'll still be reading a classic, but you'll feel like you're cheating. :)

out of the library... there was a long hold wait so I figured it might be good... but nope, probably just popular cause it's Hilary Duff. I'm disappointed in the book so far. Anyone else read it?

Gena Showalter is absolutely fabulous. :D Not only are her books great, she was the first author I ever wrote to and she personally wrote me back. I still have that e-mail from years ago.

Now I'm in the process of getting the rest of her books. lol
Kathy - Now I've added several of her books to my TBR list (like it needed any more books-haha) based on your recommendation. I hope they're as great as you say!
I got Also Known As Harperand The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate today because they are on the new William Allen White list that I want my kids to read. I also picked up Purple Heartand I Am a Soldier, Too: The Jessica Lynch Storyfor a student of mine who LOVES to read war stories, especially current wars and WWII. Hope he likes these!
Her debut,
is amazing. All of the LotU books are good, too. My favorite is still
though. :)
I suppose the last new one I got at a book store would be Dead Kiss (Generation Dead & Kiss of Life) by Daniel Waters and the last one through the mail would have been...Vampire Academy #3 Shadow Kiss. I've been trying to cut down, I'm reading so many!
Okay went to books a million and picked these off the sale rack

Slumber was good. It was realy confusing at first but after the first couple chapters I really started to get into it. I hope you enjoy it if you decide to read it. It was definitely an orginal story.
