fiveforsilver20. The Amber Spyglass by Philip Pullman (518)
Still my favorite of the HDM trilogy, several discussions about the books recently inspired me to reread it.
21. *The Black Sheep by Yvonne Collins and Sandy Rideout (352)
Hey, a non-f/sf book! The Black Sheep is about a teenage girl who, in a moment of despair, writes a letter to a reality tv show (called "The Black Sheep"). The moment passes and she forgets about the letter, but she is picked to be on the show, which involves switching places with another teenage girl (in, of course, a radically different situation) for a month. Embarrassment, hilarity, frustration, romance, and more, follow.
I picked this book up because of the cover - no, really! It's all black with a white embossed outline of a sheep in the middle and it really caught my eye. The last time I read a book because of the cover, I was disappointed, but this was an entertaining if occasionally frustrating book.
22. The Blue Girl by Charles de Lint (368)
I bought this the last time I was at the bookstore. I've been wanting to reread it almost since I put it down the first time I read it, and there we go. It was pretty much as good the second time around as the first. It's an urban fantasy about a new girl (Imogene) coming to school and strange things start happening to and around her. But she's the type to go and figure out what the heck is going on, so she does, bringing her new friend Maxine with her.
