One of the adults I absolutely loooove is Nancy Pearl, librarian, avid reader and author of Book Lust. Have you guys laid your eyes on this book?!!!! What a dizzying compilation it is! Filled with Nancy’s book recommendations for just about any kind of mood. And since I can be a mite moody, I know how helpful this book is but…well…I am miles away from reading all the books that are in her book. I’m no Nancy Pearl but just wanted to share the books that I’m lusting for! Can’t wait to get my hands on these so I can lock myself in my room and start reading. Caaaan’t wait!
Black Tattoo by Sam Enthoven – I read a review and I was hooked! A teenager possessed by a demon, a secret society, a plot to save the world and a sprinkling of magical creatures..what’s not to like?
1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die by Robert Dimery – I love lists! And here’s another one…. albums! Adults in movies talk about Bob Dylan, Frank Sinatra and even Yoko Ono’s songs and sometimes I just don’t get it. Kids my age don’t talk about stuff like that and I wanna know more about how and why these albums made the cut.
The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath – ever since I saw Julia Stiles read this in the movie 10 Things I Hate About You, I’ve been wanting to read it too. Soon, you will be in my hands!
Dreamland by Sarah Dessen – I love her books and how the things she writes about are hard, heavy and gritty stuff. Stuff that people don’t want to talk about. She lays it all out and this one is no different.
The Devil’s Graveyard by Anonymous – You’ve got a reality-show-singing-contest impersonating dead stars and the contestants get killed off one by one…isn’t that gripping you yet????
The Recessionistas by Alexandra Lebenthal -- Let’s see how those Upper Eastsiders deal with the global recession. No more outings to the salon, my chihuahua?
The Murder Room by Michael Capuzzo – I am such a Sherlock Holmes fan so give me any murder, mystery or crime book and I want my hands on it pronto!
What’s in your Book Lust list?
