jmc_bksGo check out Meljean Brook's post titled Carrot Cake: A Love Story.
Mmm. Cake. :sigh: Not on today's menu, unfortunately.
I've been unable to settle on anything to read lately. Picked up the ebook reader and opened four different stories, but didn't read more than 20 pages in each. A couple of passages grabbed my attention though:
"Matthew suspected he was made up entirely of opinions. And submission." From Laney Cairo's Bad Case of Loving You, which was better than the title would indicate.
And in Paladin of Souls, Ista's words to Cattilara as Arhys rode out to confront the Jokonans. I don't have the paragraph memorized, but it is about death riding out at his shoulder, and carrying the souls of his enemies before him. Makes the hair on my neck stand up.
ETA: And I just noticed that Ann Brashares has a new book coming out in June. An adult book. Her name is larger than the title on the cover, which means she's hit the big, big time -- her name is being marketed as much more than the book itself. I'm wondering if her YA readers are going to appreciate the change. The review by Publishers Weekly included in the record at Amazon? Not so nice, calling it a mediocre beach read.
