Vonnie, I did enjoy this, for the record.
I made a post about His Dark Materials, if anyone's interested. The first section is not spoilery, and you can avoid the spoilery part.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Steph, I want to thank you for pimping Kiki Strike. I picked it up on Tuesday (while buying the newest Stephenie Meyer book for the kid) and I'm loving it! So fun!
Okay, it only took me 2 weeks to reply to this, but -- you're welcome! Isn't it fun? I'm hoping there will be more.
ION, I'm reading Sarah Monette's newest book, The Mirador, and I'm finding that I can't remember very much of what happened in Melusine and The Virtu, and I don't really want to re-read them. Which is making The Mirador a little confusing.

I'm hoping there will be more.
There will be! I saw on Amazon that there is a new one coming out on Oct 2nd Yayay! Kiki Strike: The Empress's Tomb. I was tempted to preorder it but I have shipping anexiety (ironic since I work for a multi-national shipping company)

YALSA also puts out lists of popular YA books for a variety of different POV (reluctant readers, genres, etc). I use it quite a bit to order books for my classroom library.
Which, for those many wonderful people who donated, is going FABULOUS. I have to get pix up, and let me tell you, I am proud. Almost every day this year, I have at least one student who asks "Can I read this?"
Speaking of YA, anyone read Stefanie Meyers "Twlight" series? I git the newest one yesterday and read it....

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I just finished reading evil genius by catherine Jinks. Really good, fun, if a bit unevenly paced. some compared it to Harry Potter, other( more correctly ) to Artemis Fowl. Darker than both. Oddly , though the stories were not similar it reminded me more of Soon I will be invincible.
I know both books have just come out, but it is still odd that I have just read two books about th everyday lives of superheros/supervillians.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
If anybody is looking for little kid books I highly recommned Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus. Pure silly fun.

I think if it had been around when I was a kid I might have enjoyed it more than The Monster at the End of This Book.

Aww! I still have that one, with my three or four year old writing of my name (complete with backwards N) (er, that'd be my real name, obviously, not meara. Which has no N)
