I really liked your vlog. You got some amazing books. I really liked Howl's Moving Castle. I don't think I have ready any of the others. I just got Wintergirls by Laurie Halse Anderson and it will be my second. I did read Speak which I found to be very moving. Happy reading!

Nice! Haven't read any of these, but they look good. Am most curious about Chains, so will take a closer look.

Enjoy!

What I Saw and How I Lied was a good book, it raised lots of questions when we used during a book discussion group. Great vlog!

Happy reading. =)

You are AH-dorable! Thanks so much for letting me know about Prophecy in Japan. It's totally awesome, and I would never have known without you (especially since I am deep in the writing cave right now).

ON another note, I saw Judy Blundell give the keynote speech at Anderson's incredible YA Conference last September, and she was fantastic. I haven't' had a chance to read What I Saw and How I Lied, but I've hear great things about it. Can't wait to hear your thoughts, too.
