For beer related: Tim Power's "Drawing of the Dark" his first book. "The Dark" in question was a dark ale.
[Edit] My mistate: he wrote several novels before the that. Just my first encounter.
Spike: At least give me Wesley's office since he's gone. Angel: He's not gone. He's on a leave of absence. Spike: Yeah, right. Boo-hoo. Thought he killed his bloody father. Try staking your mother when she's coming on to you! Harmony: Well…that explains a lot.

::weeps with frustration::
Catwalk: Strike a Pose is Today's Featured Book of Color. This book is written by Deborah Gregory, author of the bestselling series The Cheetah Girls. Pashmina Purrstein and her fashion friends, Angora, Felinez, and Aphro, are all hard at work as a team of fashionistas in order to win the Big Willie trophy in the Catwalk Competition.
By late November, everyone at Fashion International High School has joined the competition to win the chance to stage their show at the Pitti Bimbo Collections in Firenze, Italy. And, everything will be documented by the Teen Style Network for the reality show "Catwalk:Strike a Pose." Under all this pressure, Pashmina and her friends discover if they can hack it or not.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Right? It's a "Book of Color" with a character named APHRO?!?
It makes killer unicorns sound appealing. (Comparatively speaking, of course.)

I'm pretty sure "The Cheetah Girls" have been made into a movie or a TV series or something.

Apparently Disney created a band based on the series of novels and then created movies around the band. Umm, I guess I'm not helping....

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
A neighbor just recced this to me and I'm wondering if anyone's read it.
Mieville's been on my TBR list forever and I've just never gotten around to him. This one sounds really intriguing, though.

Jessica, that is one of the books I'm reading now, and I am enjoying it.
