The Sweet Far Thing (The Gemma Doyle Trilogy) 123 reviews Libba Bray
Delacorte Books for Young Readers, 2007
Perfect Ending
+ Interesting conclusion to a fascinating trilogy. + A Great and Sad Beauty

Little, Brown Young Readers, 2006
Hook, line and sinker!
+ most awesome book ever
I'm sitting at my desk at work rocking back and forth in my chair, partly because of a caffeine buzz, but mostly because of the anticipation I feel about the Twilight movie coming out this Friday. I'm 32 years old and I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm absolutely in love with the entire series. ...

Eclipse Special Edition (The Twilight Saga) 1010 reviews Stephenie Meyer
Little, Brown Young Readers, 2008
Girlfriend made me read it...
+ Amazing! + Not as good, but needed
I started this series at my girlfriend's recommendation. I was afraid it would be like those Danielle Steele books. But it was surprising. This particular book in the series starts tying up some loose ends and I have already bought the 4th book in the series to read next.

Megan Whalen Turner is one of my favorite authors. She has been since my mom procured an Advance Reader Copy of The Queen of Attolia in 2000. I devoured that book, loving every minute of it. Years later, when I began my library career, I discovered that the book was second in a series, something I ...
