I'm a avid reader of YA, manga, mystery, romance and fantasy. You may contact me or browse the archives here or you can read more about me here.

There will also be the occasional guest review from a reader friend of mine, Melanie, who enjoys mystery and suspense with a bit of romance.

Dennis Lehane's next published novel is a major publishing event.

It's been 4 years since Lehane's last book, Shutter Island. On Dennis Lehane's website, there's more info about The Given Day that you can read there.

This is a historical novel. A historical epic that is somewhat of a departure for Lehane. The release date for The Given Day is Sept. 23. Look for a review.

Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer. The book that has readers either loving it or hating it. Where will I fall? Look for a review.

Susan Elizabeth Phillips new hardcover, What I Did For Love, is due out Feb 2009. The author provides a sneak peek for fans that you can read here.
