There's a book ... crap, all I can remember is it has Major Pettigrew in the title, Kat. It's getting a lot of buzz and looks really good.

That review is the best. And when I watched the clips, I totally got what Linda Holmes was talking about.

Amy, Major Pettigrew's Last Stand? It's going on the list.

That's it, Kat.
Did you read Shiver (YA)? There's a sequel out, Linger. I still have to read both, but I have them on the list. I also love the covers, which are so different than the blanket of Twilight black out there.

Of course! Come by my office and see my organized chaos. :-D I'll set up the parking when I get in in the morning, and text you with the confirmation number.

Megan, the last books I have read are Solar by Ian McEwan, Wolf Hall (which, ohmigod, love. She made Thomas Cromwell a woobie!), The Girl Who Fell From the Sky and Marian Keyes latest. So I'll read most things except for World War II fiction and any book where all of the characters are patently unlikeable.

Polgara = awesome!
I haven't read Shiver.
Also on my list are the Rick Riordan books which I heard are super fun.

Megan, have you read The Last Rendezvous by Anne Plantagenet? Heard good things but it's not in my library system yet.
