Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. Another well-written book about a girl who falls in love with a vampire. Hmm, just writing that makes it sound silly, but it really isn't.

Princess Academy by Shannon Hale. Again, Ms. Hale does the job and she does it well. Deft, light touch, and beautiful.

The Big Over Easy by Jasper Fforde. Clever as always, but I felt like this new series lacked a little something. Maybe it was just because I'd forgotten most nursery rhymes and therefore couldn't get some of the jokes, but I felt like the story got a bit caught up in itself.
