Books read in February
1-Flygirl by Sherri L. Smith (Amazing.)
2-The Wish Giver: Three Tales of Coven Tree by Bill Brittain (Meh. Pretty standard "be careful what you wish for" story that I've read a million times before.)
3-Beam Me Up, Scotty by James Doohan
4-The Third Eye by Lois Duncan (Girl is psychic. Girl has trouble coming to terms with this. Should have been way more compelling.)
5-Nightingale's Lament by Simon R. Green (Nightside books are still fun and fast reads)
6-Hate List by Jennifer Brown (A++++++. This is what I wanted After by Francise Pose to be, and it wasn't. So this book was exactly what I wanted.)
7-Harriet the Spy by Louise Fitzhugh
8-Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption by Stephen King
9-The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle
10-The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle
11-The Return of Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle
12-The Hound of the Baskervilles by Arthur Conan Doyle
13-The Magicians' Guild by Trudi Canavan (On the list of things I love, girl finds out she has special powers and may have to say the world and deal with a system that hates her ranks right up there at the top of the list)
14-Comic Book Tattoo
15-Odd and the Frost Giants by Neil Gaiman (He did a reading from this when I saw him in December, and my reaction was "NEED THIS BOOK IMMEDIATELY." How did I not know he had done a middle grades book using Norse mythology?)
16-Evermore by Alyson Noel (Meh. Really mediocre. Will probably read the sequel anyway.)
17-I Am Not Spock by Leonard Nimoy (If I had read this before I Am Spock I would have liked it better, but he reused all the good parts in I Am Spock. That isn't really fair, since this one came first.)
18-Silver Phoenix: Beyond The Kingdom of Xia by Cindy Pon (Oooh! A YA fantasy with a character of color! Based in Chinese Mythology! I really enjoyed this, but there were a few dropped threads, and I wanted some more information, but I assume that is what the eventual sequel is for.)
19-Belle de Jour: Diary of an Unlikely Call Girl (Somehow this is imaginaryalice's fault.)
20-Captain Nobody by Dean Pitchford (Cute, but not much to it.)
21-Eats, Shoots & Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation by Lynne Truss (A++++++)
22-Jumper Cable by Piers Anthony (... *RAGE BLACKOUT* One day I will quit reading the Xanth series.)
23-Enna Burning by Shannon Hale
24-Wicked Lovely by Melissa Marr (Mediocre.)
25-Ultimate X-Men Vol. 9: The Tempest
26-The Authority Vol. 1: Relentless
27-Space Station Ice-3 by Bruce Coville
28-Monster of the Year by Bruce Coville
29-The Fairy Godmother by Mercedes Lackey (Things I love - twists on fairy tales.)
30-I Was A Sixth Grade Alien by Bruce Coville (Bruce Coville does aliens extremely well.)
31-Swamp Thing Vol. 1: Saga of the Swamp Thing
32-Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic by Alison Bechdel (A+++++)
33-Fables: 1001 Nights of Snowfall
34-A Curse Dark as Gold by Elizabeth C. Bunce (Interesting.)
35-The Mysterious Affair At Styles by Agatha Christie (Aww, my first Agatha Christie.)
36-X-Men: Misfits Vol. 1 (The characterizations were really weird, but Alex Summers was totally the Phoenix, so whatever.)
37-Spider-Man: Death of Captain Stacy (Oh, Peter Parker, why are you such an asshole? But there was a Bobby vs Peter fight, so points for that.)
38-Echo, Vol. 1: Moon Lake
39-Promethea: Book One
40-Jenny Sparks: The Secret History of the Authority (A Millar book that I didn't entirely hate? What is the world coming to?)
41-Superman for All Seasons
42-Local (A++++++)
Total - 42 (13 comics, 9 young adult, 7 middle grade, 4 non-fiction, 9 non-YA fiction)
Best book I read - Hate List by Jennifer Brown
Worst book I read - Jumper Cable by Piers Anthony (I know, I need to stop.)
