Laura's Review Bookshelf: Stuff from Library

14 May 2010

Stuff from Library

I've been a bad blogger of late. Just not really into it. I think a lot has to do because I hate my template and I still can't find anything that represents me. Perhaps that is my problem. I don't know what represents me!!!! Well any way, the past couple of weeks have been really good at the library. I should tell you what I've picked up.

The Underneath, Kathi Appelt

The Thief, Megan Whalen Turner

Lessons from a Dead Girl, Jo Knowles

Geek High, Piper Banks

The Agency, YS Lee

Aurelia, Anne Osterlund

I'm very excited to read all of these books! I read Anne Osterlund's Academy 7 and it was fantastic. And I know she's writing a sequel to Aurelia so very excited to read this. First up tho' is The Thief. I've heard numerous things about this series and it's all been good! Lots of good reading to do before BEA!!!

What are you thoughts on my library choices?

THE THIEF and its series by Megan Whalen Turner is definitely one of my favorite series -- it's smart and poignant and very clever. Hope you enjoy it!

Hi Laura! Just popped over to say hello and tell you how nice it was to meet you last night in NYC! :)

I read Aurelia a year or so ago and thought it was okay. I think it dragged a little, and was too predictable at parts... but the end was very good and had me curious about a sequel. Do you know if one was ever written?

Take care!

I know what you mean. For me, being a total HTML/blogging dummy, it has been extremely hard to try and make my blog look and feel like ME with all predone things and my tinkering around.
