		<title>Roadkill</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Road Kill (2010) Rob Thurman
I love this series.
I&#8217;d specifically not wondered where baby revenants came from when we&#8217;d gotten out of the Jeep. And here I was finding out anyway. Ain&#8217;t that life? Life and pained eyeballs I suddenly didn&#8217;t want anymore.
Love it.
Yes, Cal is an asshole. But considering that he&#8217;s half monster, and reviled [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fables: The Great Fables Crossover</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Fables Vol 13: The Great Fables Crossover
This was apparently my week to be disappointed in my reading choices.
I love Fables. I really do. I&#8217;ve avidly awaited every volume, especially as the War with the Adversary came to a head. 
However, I never much cared for the Jack spin-off, and actually gave up on it, as [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dingo</title>

This is another of Charles de Lint&#8217;s young adult stories&#8211;the characters are teenagers, though the setting is of course the secret magical world just beyond the sight of most of us.
Unfortunately, unlike most of his books, I found Dingo disappointing. Interestingly, I found myself surprised to discover the main character was [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Archangel Project</title>

I love the Sebastian St. Cyr mysteries by C.S. Harris. So when I realized the husband and wife team also wrote under the name C.S. Graham, I immediately ordered the books.
Now the books written as C.S. Harris are set in Victorian/Regency England. These books are modern thrillers.

		<title>Dragon Wytch</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dragon Wytch (2008) Yasmine Galenorn
I don&#8217;t much like Camille.
I don&#8217;t like fashion.
And I really don&#8217;t like characters who think, talk and obsess about sex constantly.
Which is pretty much all Camille does. When she&#8217;s not having sex, she&#8217;s talking about having sex or thinking about having sex. Plus, she&#8217;s so fabulous she has three different men [...]]]></description>

I thoroughly enjoyed The Stepsister Scheme, and so was looking forward to reading The Mermaid&#8217;s Madness.

When I read Witchling, the first book of the Sisters of the Moon series, I wasn&#8217;t impressed. I really liked the story, but the main character was obsessed with fashion and sex, and those are not my favorite themes.
But the second book in the series was written from the point of view [...]]]></description>

I love that book.

As far as the book, you can [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;m a huge fan of Charles de Lint, and own most of his book. But when I get a new book of his, I&#8217;ll put off reading it for awhile, for some unknown reason. Then later I&#8217;ll come upon the book and remember I had it, snatch it up, [...]]]></description>
