Twilight (The Twilight Saga, Book 1)
Stephenie Meyer
Little, Brown Young Readers, 2006
I wish there were more stars for this book.
+ Great Entertainment.
+ EXCELLENT
This book is absolutely amazing. It captivates you and takes you to a world where fantasy meets reality. The characters are complex. The passion between Bella and Edward is so absorbing that you can't put it down! It is definitely my favorite book (although New Moon is also my favorite). This book ...

Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell Boxed Three Volume Collector's Edition
Susanna Clarke
Bloomsbury USA, 2005
The Indescribable Double Life of Lady Pole
+ Spreading the reach of British magic
+ A fun adventure.
Picture an England during the Napoleonic Wars of the early 19th century, very much like the historical England, recognizable in many ways to readers familiar with the period, except that this England has a magical past, a distant connection to medieval English magic which has dissipated and ...

Confessions of a Jane Austen Addict
Laurie Viera Rigler
Dutton Adult, 2007
A Fun Tale
I have to admit I have never read Jane Austen, but I love that time period and I love the movies. Sense and Sensibility is one of my favorites. I can't tell you why I have never read one, but I will say this book inspired me to do just that! At first, it seems far-fetched for the main character, ...

Everyone Worth Knowing
Lauren Weisberger
Pocket, 2006
A Book Worth Reading...
+ Very entertaining
This was definitely just a fun book to read. I didn't want to put it down because I was anxious to see what happened next. The only thing I was sad about was that it ended! Bette has to go from one extreme to the other with her job to really find out a little more about who she is and what she ...

City of Bones (Mortal Instruments)
Cassandra Clare
Margaret K. McElderry, 2007
The Ultimate Thrill Ride
+ Awesome book for adults
+ something positive
I've read most of the other reviews here and must say, this is definitely a love it or hate it book. Personally, I loved it. A YA Writer myself, I'm not normally a fan of urban fantasy. There have been some rare exceptions, such as Melissa Marr's Wicked Lovely, but as a whole I'm not a heavy reader ...

The Dead Girls' Dance (The Morganville Vampires, Book 2)
Rachel Caine
NAL Jam, 2007
Fantastic Series
+ Keep them coming!
+ Enchanting Review: The Dead Girls' Dance
This series is absolutely fantastic. It's a young adult series but it definitely shouldn't stop anyone from reading it (I mean look at Harry Potter, we all read that, and it started out considered a Middle Grade series. A good book is a good book, no matter the intended age group.)
Claire ...
