Amie Stuart ~ On the Back Porch

Pop by NAS to find out.

Last night I finished up Kitty and the Midnight Hour (thank you Jordan–I think she’s who recced it). Anyway it was, I confess, my first werewolf book in a really long time–like ten years? I Dunno but the last one was Susan Krinard. I’ll definitely be picking up the others…the best part for me was the radio show. I would have LOVED to have been a fly on the wall while she was plotting out some of those calls..I was laughing out loud.

I really like Carrie’s writing style–I almost said simple, but sparse is a better word. She doesn’t waste words, which I appreciate. The storyline is engaging, and interesting though I did have a few personal beefs with some stuff toward the end that I can’t say in case you haven’t read it.

Up next…….Holly Black’s Ironside or um something else out of my to be read stack

Hey I blogged at Southern Fried Chicas today. Ya’ll should totally go check out my 2008 goals.

Alright in an effort to keep better track of my reading, I’m going to start posting mini-book reviews as I finish a book. Let’s see how 2008 shapes up!

Even though I started EXTRAS in ‘07, I finished in ‘08 so that’s where I’m putting it. It’s the fourth book in the “Uglies” series but definitely stands alone.

Gaw, what can you say about Scott Westerfeld? If you read Uglies, Pretties or Specials then you know what I’m talking about. He’s a PHENOMENAL writer and Extras definitely delivers. If you’re looking for some great YA, with a romance, lots of adventure, fabulous word-building and just absolutely lovely writing, then you should definitely check it out.

Up next, Kitty and the Midnight Hour–which I’m totally loving!
