Some Fluff Reads

I haven't laughed this hard reading a book since I started reading her Stephanie Plum series back in 2000. Evanovich has taken the supernatural main character from her "between the numbers" books and given him a full length plot of his own. Really fun. PG.

And I haven't enjoyed a book of Meg's this much in a long time! I'm glad she decided to write a vampire book, because she did a superb job of it! PG-13.

Two great books from me!

We read this for September's book club.
I can't WAIT to get together and talk about it!
I am not one to stay up 'till all hours of the morning reading, but I did with this.
It was a total page turner for me.


AND:

This book takes place in Seattle, so you have to read it 'cause it will make you think of me.

I really enjoyed this book, and am currently reading the second in the trilogy.

Some New Stuff

I've been struggling to find much good to read lately (I'm down to 2 books a month rather than 2 books a week here, people!) and so I got online today to see what our trusty favorites are up to. 

Stephenie Meyer:

well if she's doing anything besides rolling around in piles of money then she's keeping it a secret.  However, she has joined with an artist to make a graphic novel of Twilight. Now, if you remember how the manga sequel of Avalon High turned out, then you will join me in not being much likely to purchase this one. But maybe you are secretly a Twihard and won't be able to resist? 

Me? I'm resisting. 

On her website, SM plugs The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, which was excellent and I recommend it to everyone. 

Shannon Hale: 

Has just come out with the graphic novel (theme, anyone?) to Calamity Jane, which in my opinion was v cute and fun (but then I do love my comics..) and my son and I are both looking forward to reading Calamity Jack:

She has also posted some news on her website about upcoming projects that make me all warm and fuzzy inside. 

Remember Aurelia? So, crazily, author Anne Osterlund friended me on Goodreads and I am now reading Resenting the Hero per her recommendation which is so far pretty enjoyable. And there are like, 4 of them, which is good for my near-future reading happiness.

I look forward to hearing your latest favorites.  I will try to resist breaking my budget at the bookstore!

My Angelica

by Carol Lynch Williams

I really enjoyed this story. The point of view alternates between two best friends who are in high school and start to realize that they like each other. The characters are fun. I also enjoyed the writing more than normally.
