angela_oDo you ever have those times when you're really down and there's no good reason for it? They're not common for me, but I seem to be in the throes of one now. I don't recommend it. *sigh* Plus, 15 year olds? They don't help. I'm outnumbered by my teenagers. Luckily #2 hasn't slipped over to the Dark Side yet. Is there some Mercury in retrograde/Saturn Return thing happening these days that I just didn't get the memo on?
But, in happier news, here are some more books. Can I hit 50 by Easter? I would have said no at the beginning of the year, but it's looking possible.
#38 is King Dork by Frank Portman (Mar/07). How can you not love a book in which the protagonist takes on the cult of Catcher in the Rye and reveals it for the canard that it truly is? Plus, he also comes up with truly hysterical band names, album titles, and first songs. I much preferred this to the last YA that I read.
#39 is Bliss by O. Z. Livanelli(Mar/07). And now for something completely different. A novel set in modern Turkey that deals with honor killings. I don't know a great deal about Turkey but the dichotomies laid out by this novel are mind-boggling. Is the country Eastern or is it Western? Secular or religious? Modern or medieval? I'm still not sure, but I'm much more aware of the possibilities.
#40 is Fairest by Gail Carson Levine(Mar/07). The author of Ella Enchanted returns to the fairy tale well and retells Snow White. Set in the same story universe as Ella and quite entertaining.
#41 is Plum Lovin' by Janet Evanovich(Mar/07). A "Between the Numbers" novella. Frothy and quick. Makes me long for a good Ranger fix. June will be here soon, but not soon enough. :)
Finally, this past weekend marked the 10 year anniversary since Buffy debuted. What were you doing ten years ago? I actually saw the premiere when it aired and was hooked. But, does that really surprise anyone?
