Well I did it!!! I am now caught up with the Twilight Series. But this last one - Eclipse - really made me mad!!! I mean really, now how do I know who to root for!?!?!? SO - HOW LONG UNTIL THE NEXT ONE!?!?! I can't stand it!!! Ok, enough of my ranting and raving - you how I love these - so I'll just pick up another book until Breaking Dawn is out!

The Host

You know how I am about Stephenie Meyer - so when I saw she had an adult novel out - OF COURSE I put it on hold. The Host - took me quite awhile to get into - like 100 pages - but once I was in - I WAS IN!!! What a great read. Not my usual fare, a little more sci-fi than I like - but hey, she stretched me with vampires - guess I can be stretched again!!

It's an intriguing read - even made me question things like - the value of life, you know, all that good stuff!!! I don't think you'll be disappointed - in my humble opinion - Stephenie CAN'T disappoint!!! To read more on the book, go visit her website.

Crash!

If you remember THIS post, you will know that Mayra Calvani isn't new to my blog! And this time she has another fun book for kids. Crash is a tender story of a little boy, Marcelo, that gets a puppy for his birthday. He has to train it - and he can do that - BUT naming it is another story altogether! It is such a task for Marcelo to find a name for his pup UNTIL...... You will have to read it to find out! What a fun story - and it especially hits home with me as we are still in the throes of puppy-hood as well!

Mayra is a multi-genre author, reviewer, dog lover and animal advocate. Mayra Calvani hails from San Juan, Puerto Rico. She's a regular contributor to Blogcritics Magazine and American Chronicle. When she is not writing, she enjoys reading, playing the violin, interviewing other authors for her blogs and newsletters, watching reruns of Gilmore Girls, and walking her golden retriever, Amigo. She’s the author of the picture book, The Magic Violin, also published by Guardian Angel Publishing.

Crash has his own blog - you will want to go check it out! What a great cause too, Mayra is donating 50% of her royalties to Almost Heaven Golden Retriever Rescue and Sanctuary, Inc. Oh, and one more thing - if you leave a comment on one of Mayra's blog tour stops, you will be in a drawing for a gift certificate to the Almost Heaven gift shop!!!

LitLovers

I was introduced to LitLovers and I must say - IT IS BOOKMARKED!! What a great site. There are reading guides, book club picks, book club ideas, discussion tips - and that is just the tip of the iceberg. There is even info for children's and teens books as well. AND, as if that isn't enough, you can go shopping for that book lover in your life - hey, it can even be you!! What a great site - if you enjoy books, you won't want to miss it!

Trouble

This book is ANYTHING but Trouble!!! Trouble by Gary Schmidt rates in my book as another Schmidt winner - worthy of that infamous, Newbery - someday he's GOING to get one!!!! This book just makes you think about so much - race, prejudice, families - it's all there and it's VERY good!!! I just don't think you can go wrong with Schmidt and he proves that again. So read it and see if what Henry's father says is true: " If you build your house far enough away from TROUBLE, then Trouble will never find you."

At 5:26am on June 23rd, 2008, Annette Laing said…: Thanks for the invite, Becky (especially after my inauspicious beginning... :-)) I'm delighted I've piqued your interest in my book, and look forward to hearing your reactions: Hey, I'm the J.K. Rowling of Bulloch County, Georgia. :-)
Sorry that I won't have much to say about, well, my reading--I have a tough time reading novels while writing one, and I'm working on book 2 right now...Mind you, I have to read lots of non-fiction for background, history specifically. Ask me anything you like about what it meant to be a miner in England's Black Country in 1851... I now know more about that than I ever wanted to... :-)
