Title: Glimpse

Author: Carol Lynch Williams

# of pages: 484

Rating: 5/5

Review: This book is written in verse quite similar to those of Ellen Hopkins. It's about two sisters living in Southern Florida dealing with a dad who died and a mom who couldn't handle that. It's amazing and it'll definitely tug on your heart strings.

Book Title: AirFrame (audio)

Author:Michael Crichton

Review: This was boring that I actually forgot I had listened to it when I finished last. If I hadn't been so bored in the first place, I never would have tolerated such a boring book in the first place. Its all about a woman trying to find out why a plane killed 3 people and so a deal can go through and they can build more planes. I did manage to finish it though.

Book Title: Scumble

Author: Ingrid Law

Review: YAY! Second book after Savvy. I think I actually like this one a tad bit better. Everyone in Savvy was extremely nice and I don't think people are really that nice. In Scumble, there was a rich bad guy who kept foreclosing business in the town.

Book Title: Lady Knight

Author: L. J. Baker

Review: I had been avoiding buying this for some time. I was in Borders the other day and I wanted a thick book and all the other ones were book 2's or book 3's. I finally gave in and grabbed this and I kinda wish I hadn't waited so long. Very good story.

Book Title: Melusine

Author: Sarah Monette

Review: Very interesting concept. I do like how she explains him going mad. People's heads turn into animal ones, like birds and bears and such. I did not, however, like the fact that she kept saying like "septad" and "dectad" without telling us what the heck those things were. She used it as both time, minutes and years, as well as how many of something there were "Like a septad of horses". Except for that confusing bit, I enjoyed this.

Book Title: My Soul to Steal

Author: Rachael Vincent

Rating: For books about obnoxious whinny teens fighting over boys, I still love this series. Which is a surprise considering I hated high school kids when I was in high school. Nothing mean intended y'all, I'm an old woman tongue.gif The writer is really creative. A series about a male and female pair of banshees, she introduces, a Mara, or a living, breathing, nightmare. Very creepy, a very fun, easy read. 5/5 stars smile.gif

Book Title: Habibi

Author: Naomi Shihab Nye

Rating: 0/5

Review: In Habibi a girl (Liyana) from St. Louis who moves the Jerusalem. She ends up dating a Jewish boy (Omer) ignoring the fact she isn't allowed to date, and Omer being Jewish doesn't help. The entire book has an Anti-Israeli Anti-Semetic bias. Please, don't treat this book as a perfect portrayal of the conflict. Even if you keep the bias in mind, I still wouldn't recommend this. The majority of the characters are two dimensional, and basically all are static.

Book Title: Lady Isabella's Scandalous Marriage

Author: Jennifer Ashley

Rating: 4/5

Review: I didn't think that the author would be able to get me to like the second book more than I had liked the first, but I did. In The Madness of Lord Ian Mackenzie, I loved reading about how Ian viewed the world and how it affected his romance. With this book, it was the romance. I loved reading about how Mac desperately wishes to make amends to Isabella for having hurt her early on in their marriage. I loved reading about how he expresses his barely restrained longing and love for Isabella through his painting. This is a man who overcame his addiction to alcohol to become a man who deserved her. It was beautiful. The passion exhibited by Lord Mac Mackenzie as he painted his Love brought to mind the passionate longing exhibited by Sir Percy Blakeney in The Scarlet Pimpernel as he kissed the footprints of his departing Lady. Reading scenes of barely restrained passion makes me sigh at how romantic it is. And that is what made this book a very good read for me.
