Looking for a truely wonderful read?!
.......Try Laura Whitcomb's A Certain Slant of Light. This book is one I may have passed up if I had only looked at the cover. At first glance it made me think of a cheap romance novel... but once I read the first page I was hooked.
The writing is absolutely delightful with many tasty words and clear descriptions. I was also pleased with the ending which wasn't one you would expect.

What's your favorite book?!
I wanna know what you are reading... or what you have read that you just can't stop thinking about. For me it is the third installment of Stephenie Meyers Twilight. Eclipse has left me with so many unanswered questions.
