Since this is a community on blogging about books I was wondering what everyone is currently reading and blogging about. I love to find new authors and books that others are reading and loving, so I'll start with what I'm currently reading.
I'm currently reading Promise of the Rose by Brenda Joyce.
Paul Auster's The Invention of Solitude, a heartbreaking, wonderful book. The sort that makes me want to change the way I reviewed everything that came before it, because it raises the stakes just that much.

I'm currently reading Wicked by Nancy Holder and Debbie Viguie. If you're interested in reading this book, I'm giving away all three Wicked books along with two others in my Paranormal Prize Pack contest! Drop by if you're interested.
I've self-published my novel "Unity" (volume One in 'The Aelf Club' series), and have a temporary free download link here: http://www.aelfclub.net/TheAelfClub_Unity.pdf
Here's the annotation, along with some reviews:
Sara DeVere is special – but until her thirteenth birthday she had no earthly idea why. As she enters the eighth grade, Sara begins a mind-bending journey into the unknown – a journey that will eventually lead her to her destiny with a group of extraordinary friends, and with two unique teachers who come to share a deep secret with Sara.
As the storyline progresses, our heroine is faced with some of the greatest tests one could possibly endure – not the least of which includes falling victim to the evil of a rapidly growing global threat. But in the company of good friends her will is strengthened, along with her growing knowledge of ancient Secrets – and the wisdom to use such knowledge in the fight for justice.
“Unity” – the first volume in “The Aelf Club” series – contains many facets, combined in such a way as to create a tantalizing ‘rabbit hole’ for the hungry reader; it is at once a coming of age story, a historical saga, an immense spiritual journey, a manual of higher learning, and an epic adventure full of international intrigue and nail-biting suspense! For those diehard fans of Harry Potter and other such mystical adventures, “Unity” is sure to please – offering an alluring combination of elements that will entice the imagination and stimulate the mind. This is a tale of immense proportions…
“Ingenious blend…sure to appeal to precocious young people…”

Sorry I'm out of promotional paperbacks at the moment (available on Amazon.com and BarnesAndNoble.com...). But if you're into teen fiction, and would like to find something that digs a little deeper, I'd love to get your feedback on "Unity"!
Currently reading 'Red Cloth, Yellow Cloth' by Ron Tufft. A wierd book in the way that it's written but simply unputadownable! Brilliant characterisation and a stunning story... KAMO RULES OK!
