    Great books this week! I'm looking forward to seeing what you have to say about Sharks and Boys. I read Kristen's A Field Guide for Heartbreakers last summer, and I wasn't the biggest fan of it, but that one looks interesting. Happy reading! :)

    I feel there should be a book called "How to steal Johnny Depp", instead! :)

    Ooh, Armchair BEA stuff... I won a couple of prizes but I haven't got them. I have a feeling they're stuck in the mail somewhere *shakes fist at Cda Post and their evil strike* ... but anyway, this gives me hope that I'll get my books in the next week or so.

    'Sharks and Boys' was pretty epic. A lot different than I expected it to be.

    lol oh man, a book about the chupacabra... my friend and I have this weird fascination/inside joke to do with that, so I had to laugh at that title.

    Hi Laura, it sounds like you received a great selection of books, and thank you for the shout out on my short story, "Hunt for the Chupacabra". 4 out of 4 good reviews so far! Maybe a fifth? :)

    Enjoy all your reads!
