 Some "possibly to check out later" results of a brief random fit of restlessness and access to amazon.com, pretty much to remind myself to check them out at some point, though any opinions are always welcome(why do you think I always post book lists?)  Mostly upcoming YA fantasy.

Fate - Jennifer Lynn Barnes
Golden - Jennifer Lynn Barnes
The Abhorsen Trilogy Box Set - Garth Nix
The Forest of Hands and Teeth - Carrie Ryan
Magic Lost, Trouble Found (Raine Benares, Book 1) - Lisa Shearin
Lament: The Faerie Queen's Deception - Maggie Stiefvater
Book of Shadows: Book One (Sweep) - Cate Tiernan
In the Serpent's Coils (Hallowmere) - Tiffany Trent

*also notes that the MMPBs of the second and third of Michelle Sagara's Elentra books just came out*

Also, has anyone seen Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day?  it's one of those I meant to catch in theaters but never did, and I don't remember anyone ever commenting on it.

I read Golden a while back. It's a pleasant read but not one that really sticks with you, if you know what I mean.

I have the second book in Lisa Shearin's series. I'll send that to you once I can sort out my packaging issues for the Package of DoomTM.

The one I'm really looking forward to is Forest of Hands and Teeth, which has a great title and a great cover. :)

Yeah, that's about what Golden sounded like to me, too. I think what caught my attention was that the sequel is from what sounds like the spoiled rival's POV.

*makes note to acquire first soon, then*

Packaging issues?

The title for Forest of Hands and Teeth is one of those that really catches you. The concept sounds like it could be really awesome, or really...not.
