Ithaka by Adele Geras
Genre: Mythological Fiction
Part of a Series? no
Rating: 7.5/10

Fun! A story about what was happening back at Ithaka while Odysseus tried to make his way home.

Princess in Love by Meg Cabot
Genre: YA
Part of a Series? Princess Diaries, book 3
Rating: 9.5/10

Possibly my favourite Princess book yet. I had to tear myself away from reading it by the time that I got to the end. It was just so great. I have no words. I can't wait for the next one, but it's taking forever to get here.

Golden by Cameron Dokey
Genre: YA Fairy Tale
Part of a Series? no
Rating: 8/10

I do love fairy tale books. This one was pretty cool. It totally changed the way I will forever feel about Rapunzel. And it had a happy ending, which was great.

Tunnels of Blood by Darren Shan
Genre: YA Supernatural Fantasy
Part of a Series? Cirque Du Freak, book 3
Rating: 7.5/10

Another good Darren Shan book. It was interesting to see how he related with a human, and it was cool to see the anti-vampire.

Road of the Dead by Kevin Brooks
Genre: hard to say - mystery?
Part of a Series? no
Rating: 7/10

The actual plot of this book, I found kind of boring. It was a little too realistic for my taste. However, the style of writing in the book definitely made up for it. It has to be some of the most beautiful prose I've ever read.

The Blood Books Volume 2 by Tanya Huff
Genre: Urban Fantasy
Part of a Series? yes
Rating: 9.5/10

This one was mostly even better than the first. However, the ending was completely shocking, and I can't say that I liked it particularly. I mean, it was good and everything, but so sad. The vampire mythos in these books is totally awesome, but it's also kind of heartbreakingly sad. On the plus side, there were zombies.

Clearly when I said "later" I meant days later.
