 Can anyone give me their opinions on any of the following?  Some Amazon has recced to me (but then, it also put every Twilight book in my Gold Box today...) some were in lists.  A few I saw in the bookstore but wasn't sure about. Some are recs where I forgot who recced them and what they said.  Most are YA fantasy.

*Yes, I linked to a post on it earlier this week, but I'm wondering if anyone else has read it, or seen posts/reviews of it.

Of course, most people won't even see it for a couple hours, and half the f-list is busy liveblogging the Avatar finale...

The website gives you an idea of what to expect (http://larklight.com/).

And here (http://larklight.com/myrtle.html) is an article by one of the proper ladies of the book -- "How to be a Lady" by Miss Myrtle Mumby.

There's pirates and romance and adventure and attacking spiders and Uranus has been renamed to avoid people making crude jokes and there's daring deeds and in the sequel they go on a vacation by the sea, except not . . .
