Did another write-up for Better Propaganda. They are posting their top 100 artists & albums of the decade, one day at a time, and I did the blurb about Murs' 3:16: The 9th Edition. Check it out.

#27: Another ethical dilemma from Jodi Picoult that drags you in and sucks you under.
Change of Heart by Jodi PicoultMy review
rating: 4 of 5 stars
Another Picoult novel... much in the same of all her others. OK, so I've only read My Sister's Keeper in addition to this one, but I imagine they follow similar themes of legal/medical ethical dilemmas. Not saying that's a bad thing as I'm easily sucked into her stories and mostly her means of story-telling/format. Short chapters told by different characters in the story makes for a very easy and pleasurable read. I was super attached to everyone in Change of Heart and as predicted by me, found myself crying at the end and throughout the story. Definitely recommend.

#27: More magic, female heroines and beautiful drawings for your graphic novel loving ass!
Amulet: Book 1: The Stone Keeper by Kazu KibuishiMy review
rating: 5 of 5 stars
Just finished Amulet: Book 1: The Stone Keeper and I want moooooooore! I bought this at Comic Con this year, after it was recommended by my friend Nicole. She knows the artist/author and he signed it with a cute little bunny drawing! Any way, GREAT! adventure/fantasy graphic novel series... and I heard it's already being optioned for a movie. I am super happy to see another female heroine in the lead role, so the little girl inside of me jumps for joy and longs for the days of having silly adventures! The illustration and drawings are really great too! Quick read--I think I finished it in less than an hour. Definitely recommend.

#27: Flyte and those crazy Heaps!
Flyte by Angie SageMy review
rating: 4 of 5 stars
Happy to report that I will be continuing on with the Heap series as book 2 (Flyte) was more successful than the first book. I'm now more attached to the characters in the story and the development being made. I don't wanna do the spoiler thing but you know it's a childrens/young adult series so no dark endings yet. Lots of fantasy odd characters and magical tales, with both male and female LEAD heroes! I thought of and compared the book to Harry Potter a lot less through this book, and also got through it a lot quicker. Can't wait to visit the library and pick up book 3.
