“Honey?” Kit stuffed his hands into his pockets, hunching his shoulders a little.
“What?”
He reached out and took her hand in the darkness. “You are the magic of possibilities.”

Top 25 expected books of 2010
Dec. 21st, 2009 01:06 amAfter some serious browsing on Goodreads, I’ve come up with this list. The books are in order of projected publication date. There are a few that I haven’t included because they don’t have cover art available yet (the most obvious of these being the final installment in the Hunger Games trilogy). And no, I didn’t just pick these based on pretty cover art. Mostly. My Goodreads account is here.

Top 25 books of 2009
Dec. 7th, 2009 06:11 pmThese are not necessarily books that came out in 2009, but rather books that I read for the first time in 2009. There's a small chance that I might read a few more after exams that I like more, but in that case I'll make an exception and put them in the post for next year. The books are listed in the order in which I read them. Find the full list of books I read here. Goodreads account here.

Top 25 Books of 2008

YA Book Review: Gone by Michael Grant
Jul. 22nd, 2008 12:58 pmRemember Lord of the Flies? Gone by Michael Grant is Lord of the Flies in modern-day California. Oh, with a dash of X-Men thrown in there.
Either these two elements have convinced you to never, ever read the book, or it sounds like something you’d like. If you’re in the second category, you’re welcome to read on. If you’re in the first…you can read on if you want.
Michael Grant is the husband of Katherine Applegate, author of the well-known Animorphs series, as well as the lesser-known series Everworld. As he had a hand in the creation of Animorphs, and I think of Everworld as falling in the same category, I will be referring to both series.
