I thought "Perfume" was a great book. I couldn't put it down. "What the Dickens?" was a cute story about a rogue toothfairy. This is by the author of "Wicked" and "The Other Stepsister." "Swallowing Darkness" is the latest in the Meredith Gentry series. It wasn't as good as past books, and the way it ended it seems like it is the last. "The Looking Glass Wars" is a fun spin on "Alice in Wonderland." I can't wait to read the rest in the series.

I decided at the end of the year that in 2009 I'm going to try to read all the books on my shelves and pass them on. I've decided to start with all my Christopher Pike books. Mostly because they are short and I was hoping to make 100 by the end of the year, but I didn't quite make it at 88. I'm very excited about some of the challenges I'm involved in for 2009.
