		<description><![CDATA[Adam Ross' book, Mr. Peanut, should have been titled Mr. Penis. I read this book because it was hyped up all around town here in Nashvegas--Ross is a local author and newly formed celebrity. Mr. Peanut was released to incredible acclaim--the New York Times said Ross is a "sorcerer with words."From Publisher's Weekly we hear: [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It's RESOLUTION time! Aren't you just pumped? I'm totally psyched out of my MIND to set my new resolutions. Actually, no, I'm not, because I've got pounds to lose and laps to swim and self-improvement galore that needs doing, but hey--I've got a lot of reading to catch up on, too. I have a different [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I read Capote's In Cold Blood earlier this year, my toes appropriately curled up in horror the whole way. But I've always heard the legend of Capote himself, the troubled young socialite/writer who tattled tales on all his celeb friends and fell out of favor. A personality like that intrigues me and I wanted to [...]]]></description>

Candace Moonshower's The Legend of Zoey has been too long on my to-read list. I'm ashamed that I only just now got to it for more reasons than one. First of all, Moonshower is an incredible writer. That much becomes [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I wanted to love  Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs because I do love the cover and the title. And I love old photos. But it's a lot like wanting to love the cute guy in your chemistry class; that's all he might be, just cute. This book had the spooky pics [...]]]></description>

Would our spirits bounce, like Anne's, or would we succumb? In Emma Donoghue's ROOM, we meet Jack, our five-year old narrator who is locked [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s my favorite holiday and it just whizzes right on past. There&#8217;s no decent mourning period. In fact, not only are we DONE with Halloween come about 10PM on October 31st, we have [...]]]></description>

Bel Canto, The Magician's Assistant.  They are the kind of good titles that make me frankly hate her just a little because I think, "Damn, that's good. I could have done that," but of course I couldn't or I would have. This novel, [...]]]></description>
