Finished Elissa Janine Hoole's Kiss the Morning Star last night.
Um, I kinda loved it. There were a couple of scenes I would have loved to see expanded so the impact of later events was more powerful, but as a general feeling OMG LOVE LOVE LOVE. It was just so beautifully written and had these little details that created perfect images in my head.
Also, there is a scene with a bear where I was actually holding my breath as I was reading.
Anyway - YAY for another AWer writing an awesome book. I think this place is breeding them or something. The AW program. They're trying to produce the Kwisatz Haderach of writers....wait...does that make the mods the Bene Gesserit? Hmm. This metaphor needs work.
I loved Junk by him but was a little disappointed by this one. The characters just didn't feel that real and it felt kind of dated to me. I don't know how to explain in but it was as if the tone was a bit childish despite the serious subject matter. And I did find the voices of the characters a bit cliched. My friend loved it though so maybe I just couldn't connect.
I picked up The Night Circus today. Such a beautiful cover! I'm only a chapter or so in but I'm loving the fairytale-ish quality this has.

Insurgent is a great book, if you liked Divergent, you'll love itJust finished The Fault In Our Stars! OMG. Can anyone say FANTASTIC! I now have my hands on Insurgent. Can't wait.

I will have to check this out, since it sounds a little similar to my kidlit booksI've just started a young reader book (age 7+) - I'M DOUGAL TRUMP AND IT'S NOT MY FAULT by Jackie Marchant, which is a young boy's diary about monsters in his shed and how he's always blamed for things. It's a lot of fun so far and has some really funny illustrations (particularly of the shed).

Slightly off-topic: can I ask why some people 1337 the titles of books? I'm just wondering.
