You might try them, they're by Derek Landy. I know you're burned out on paranormal romances but maybe since they're not romances you'll like them. <br><br>They're about a young girl in Ireland whom, after inhertanting her late uncle's estate, finds out about a world of magic and ends up the student of Skulldugery - whom, besides being a wizard (I suddenly can't spell the other word that begins with S) is also a 400+ years old skeleton. Magic, adventure, murder, mayhem, and people trying to bring back the evil gods known as The Faceless Ones abound. <br><br>I'm currently on the 3rd book in the series. I think my favorite part so far is the fact Valkerie/Stephine doesn't feel the need to prove that she's just as good/better then Skulldugery just because she's 14 and female. She's perfectly willing to let a male be in charge and has the true inner strength to recongnize that experience counts for a lot and to let someone else lead. It's a nice change from the usual crap I see.JamiSingshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12756726189949304645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350052669699480502.post-81153634413631063652009-09-05T12:52:02.279-07:002009-09-05T12:52:02.279-07:00OK, thanks for reminding me about the DaCosta (bra...OK, thanks for reminding me about the DaCosta (brain like a sieve, I swear!)<br><br>I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you having an "A" book this month!Reneehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15408227410388147148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350052669699480502.post-38479442593533277492009-09-04T16:25:54.261-07:002009-09-04T16:25:54.261-07:00Katie: Which reminds me - need to mention the Coll...Katie: Which reminds me - need to mention the Collins' series to Lil' Sis The English Teacher.....<br><br>Rosie: Get that reading list up woman!
