I'd love a bookmark but I really don't know what I would do to pay it forward. Hmmm, need to think on it.

I've never read either author that you've mentioned. would you recommend one over the other? I'm always looking for someone new to read!

Bookmark it is! Any prererence on colour/style? I've just finished a Slytherin Keyring for camillo1978 which has worked out quite well, but I'll have a go at anything.

Kathy Reichs also wrote the tv series "bones", using the same main character as in her books, though she made a few changes for the tv. There are, I think, 10 books in the series so far, and they are very good, if a little technical at times.

Robin McKinley mainly writes for the teenaged market, and has done several re-workings of traditional fairytales. Sunshine, and possibly Deerskin, are for the adult market, and I thoroughly enjoyed both of them.

I suppose the recommendation depends on your mood - if you are for excapism, go for McKinley, for gritty real-life, go for Reichs.

I love the Bones series! I didn't realize that the show was a spin-off of a book. I'll have to look for these the next time I am at the bookstore. Thanks for the recommendations.

Hmm... no preference on style but my favorite colors are red, black and white. I'm still thinking of a way to pay it forward but I haven't forgotten! :)

you have a full year to think of a way. I've already had an idea for your bookmark, and red, black and white would fit well. I'll let you know when its done, and you can email me an address to send it to.
