For some reason Shiver reminded me so much of some unpublished work I'd read (books that PRE-DATE Shiver that she couldn't have read) I couldn't finish. But I will probably get back to it. I did that with Graceling.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00725012086692924891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2190268181568330958.post-12234746962804995082009-12-23T13:31:01.559-05:002009-12-23T13:31:01.559-05:00Well, Yeesh, D!!!

Let me know!<br /><br />Nisa: Welcome to the wonderful world of YA. You are going to be one busy lady in 2010. So much good stuff out there. Though I didn't list him, since I've yet to read LEVIATHAN, read anything by Scott Westerfeld and start with the UGLIES trilogy..pretty much the grand-daddy of all YA dystopic fiction and the inspiration (I am SURE) for THE HUNGER GAMES. There is no one more original than SW.<br /><br />Thanks for visiting, Anne! Your blog made me hoot!
