Nice carrots. :>)

I'm working my way through a box of ARCs from ALA. Yum! But now I'm reading instead of writing...

MJ! You are insane! And that's why you're great.

I can't see the title of the bottom book for the glare. I just came off a "vacation" (where I did at least 3 hours on the paid job every day, so what kind of vacation that is, I'm not sure) and I read (*counts on fingers*) 5 books? Several of the YA and very good. I love YA and MG. It's where all the cool writers hang.

Hey, what happened to those pages you were going to send me, huh? HUH??

Yes, Insane is my middle name. Actually it's 'Josephine". Good God. But I'm changing it to Insane, or possibly Bunny. Fred's kinda calling to me right now. Not actually, just the name. Oooo, something shiny...

The bottom book is the new Georgia Nicholson book by Louise Rennison, a brilliant blend of British and shallow and funny as heck. It's number 9, "Stop In The Name Of Pants". Weird title unless you know the first book in the series is "Angus, Thongs, And Full Frontal Snogging." Then it makes perfect sense.

Tell me which books?!?!?
