Click here for a list of YAs you might be interested in reading, followed by my Fave Fifteen of 2006. Click here for the Red Hair Is Not As Uncommon As You Think article! Thanks for coming by! I am in the process of compiling a complete archive of Need To Read that...

Hi. Well, I haven't been posting much because I haven't been reading much. I know! Shocker! But I've been writing a lot, plus I'm trying to do the content for my new soon-to-be released website (www.joelleanthony.com). I did, however, find out that one of my articles,...

Great news for us YA writers! http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/books/306531_teenlit08.html

Hi. Well, I don't read a lot of adult fiction, but someone recommended that I read these books because they said my writing reminded them of hers, especially my manuscript about cooking. These are murder mysteries and a caterer is the main character. I pretty much...

My week of reading deprivation ended on Sunday and by Saturday I'd started reading a blog or two, but I stayed away from novels, magazines, newspapers, etc. I think on one hand it was a much needed break, but I don't think it was the BIG ENLIGHTENING EXPERIENCE it was...

Today I succumbed to Miss Snark and reading the cover of AAA magazine in the bathroom. I didn't open the magazine though...

Yesterday's need_to_read post got posted on my other LJ, need_to_write if anyone cares. http://need-to-write.livejournal.com/

I am a big fat 0 for 3 this week in the reading department. Yep. I started with an American YA...lost my interest long before page 70 when I finally just couldn't be bothered anymore. Then I picked up a British YA. Blah, blah, blah...not a very likeable character,...

Well, truth be told, I've mostly been writing, so even though I haven't posted in a while, I don't have a lot of books to write about.HOPE WAS HERE by Joan Bauer - She's a great writer. This wasn't my favorite of the ones I've read, but it was good. You certainly...

Loved it. Loved it. Loved it. That's all.

Nope! This is not the name of a new book. But if you are environmentally aware/conscious and want to erase some of the effects using energy in the home and driving your car has on the environment, I urge you to go to this website and have a...

This was a fun book. It was a real page turner because you couldn't really guess what was going to happen next, but not because it was an adventure story or mystery. I think there may be a book before it, but this appears to be the only one printed in the US (it's...

SO SUPER STYLISH is a sequel to SO SUPER STARRY, which I wrote about here roughly a month or two ago. While I liked the first one fine, I thought it was kinda fluffy, chick-litty sort of stuff. Also, the nemisis reminded me a bit too much of the Honey character...

It was a slow week in reading here, but mostly because I was writing. Yay. I did spend some time reading my friends WIP, very funny stuff, but no other comments on my blog!I also read Joan Bauer's RULES OF THE ROAD yesterday. If you read this blog, you'll know that I...

Hi, All.Well, so much for my no travel policy this year. Two weeks into the new year I found myself on a trip out west to see my family. All is well out there now and I got some reading in, but that's why I haven't updated in a while.Here's what I read while I was...

Quickly:Here Lies the Librarian by Richard Peck - A great fun read for anyone. My husband enjoyed it a lot too.Walking Naked by Alyssa Brugman - An Australian YA. Very poetic and lyrical. A really good read with a lot of great lessons that don't hit you over the head...
