Shadow Kiss

PS I know, I'm a huge book nerd, but if you are into this whole Twilight obsession, you should check out the Vampire Academy series. I have loved it from the beginning, but book 3 was just released and I may die of curiosity before the next one comes out in July. Shadow Kiss, the third installment, was one of the most masterful YA series novels that I have read in a long time. Everything about it was just spot on. The pacing...the character development was flawless. I won't spoil it for you, but it doesn't look like there is a happy ending in store for ANYONE in the series :( I don't know how Richelle Mead is going to write her way out of this one, and with only 2 books left, but if anyone can do it, it would be her.

Also recommended: The Bean Trees, Ink Exchange and Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell. Time to put that library card to good use (just don't listen to the guy putting away books and put your books on the cart by the door. That is not the RETURNS cart, it's the GIVEAWAY cart. And then you owe the library $90 and your soul. True story.) or even your CC.
