 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 most of Magic Lost, Trouble Found. I haven't logged it because I keep thinking I'll finish the last little bit. It's not bad. It's also not great. Fun but not memorable.

I really love parts of the Abhorsen Trilogy. Other parts irritated me or bored me. I think I was more interested in the world shown in the first book than I was in the characters. I found myself trying to fill in all the bits that weren't shown. I liked the female lead in the second book but found the male lead really annoying. Books two and three were really one book chopped in half, so the wait between them irritated me.

the Shearin actually sounds like some of the fantasy I've been looking for lately.
