I've only read two of Sharon Creech's books: Bloomability and Walk Two Moons. Both of those were far better than this book. I listened to it in audio format and was able to zone out and in and still follow the story. It seemed pretty predictable from the beginning and was actually kind of boring. I don't see it being the MSBA choice this year.

This isn't quite as strong as Skim but it's still pretty good. Emiko sees herself as invisible until a flyer for the Factory floats into her hand. What comes next is entirely up to her...

This is my least favorite of Gaiman's books. I hate the illustrations, I'm not entirely fond of the text, I don't always think it makes sense. I'm reading the other reviews for this books and wondering if maybe I got some sort of weird copy? Are we really reading the same book?

First off, I want to say that I really enjoyed this book, as I did the other two in the series. Clare is very good at keeping me enthralled for an entire book. I didn't want to give this series a chance, but did enjoy it very much.

What I would like to comment on, however, is why reading this series always makes me feel weird inside. Does anyone else find, that when they find something they don't like about an author, or maybe something that doesn't sit well with them, they feel weird reading their books? Like they have trouble making the disconnect?

I think I feel this more strongly with Clare because I used to read her fanfiction. In fact, to be honest, much of this book very much reminded me of her Harry Potter fanfiction. I also read her "Very Secret Diaries".

I guess what makes me feel uncomfortable is all the fandom wank that surrounds her. I hated the fact that she stopped doing the "Very Secret Diaries," was excited when other people seemed to try, and disappointed but understanding when she asked them to stop and had it taken down.

Then I read this. And I have never been able to look at her the same. It's the same way Doris Kearns Goodwin makes me feel awkward now. Why I don't think I'll be able to read anything by James Frey.

I'm glad I gave this a chance, because I did really enjoy it. However, part of me still feels a little uncomfortable that I did.

I think this might be favorite in the series so far.

I don't know, I was a little disappointed with this one. I've read every book in the series, and there were certain things Cabot did in this one that irked me. Still, I had a hard time putting the book down. It's not going to stop me from still trying to read every single one of Meg Cabot's books.

For me, this was a major disappointment after Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist. I felt almost no sympathy for Naomi at all, and most of the time just wanted to smack her. I finished it, but to me, it wasn't an enjoyable book until about the last 20 pages. Even then, I still almost wish I had never picked it up.

This year's Cybil winner for best easy reader. The Cybils are awards given out by children and YA literature bloggers. I love pretty much all of the Elephant and Piggie books, so I was happy with this choice.

This is the best Elephant and Piggie book, hands down. I also am realizing that I might secretly be the Elephant.

I mean, it's Neil Gaiman. I obviously was going to like it, as he is awesome. My only problem was with the end. It sort of just dropped off to me. I would say that I didn't notice the similarities to The Jungle Book until afterward, and now I sort of want to read it, rather than just rely on my Disney movie knowledge.

So far this year The Graveyard Book has won the Newbery and the Cybil. So it's a pretty good year for Mr. Gaiman, I believe!
