Fun.

Book club worthy series

The Uglies series is SO good! I'm currently on Pretties. Then comes Specials. I'd love to have this entire series for book club sometime. I love the social commentary of it. You can read more on Scott Westerfeld's site.

great books!

I loved these books! Star Girl is first, then Love, Star Girl. Star girl is zany and fun! They are very quick reads and Love, Star Girl is in short sections like a journal, so it's a great one for those of you who don't have time to read a book in one sitting.

His Majesty's Dragon

Just finished this book, recommended by Rachel several months ago. I devoured it. Loved it. The language is just beautiful and the story is fun. And there isn't even any kissing! (well, okay, no. There IS one kiss, but it is pathetically glossed over) And I still loved it! The best part is, there are like 4 out already. Thank you Naomi Novik!

It's a new leaf, ladies. I'm back in my fantasy groove. :)

In Book News: Meg Cabot's Allie Finkle's Rules for Girls is out now, in hardback. It's for ages 8-12. Looks cute. Her new teen mystery thriller series comes out May 1. First book is called Airhead. See her website for more info.

Don't forget Stephanie Meyer's new adult sci-fi also comes out in May. AND, it was just announced that Breaking Dawn comes out on August 2. Let's hear it --

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!

I've been thinking and thinking of how to link to a page with all of our book recommendations, and it comes down to the fact that I simply don't have the know-how to do it. So, I'm just going to post a post with all of our recommendations, which we can all add to and edit as time goes by, and I'll have a side-bar link to that particular post, so when we want to go see it we don't have to do a blog search for the entry.

Looking forward to book club!
