What does 2011 hold in store for me?

I'm still getting back into the swing of things after the holidays. I got a little lazy with my reading (terrible, I know) and the only book I've read this week (book. Singular. One. Terrible! (the lone digit, not the book which was an awesome re-read)) can't be posted here because its needed for my special focus next week.

So I'm without a book to review (bad me). I thought I'd chat about what I hope to happen on my postings this year.

I am determined to actually get through Lisa Shearin's novels. I've read a few - but I'm re-reading them and keep setting them down as other shiny books grab my interest. I'm easily distracted by several things: chocolate, anime, books, icecream, milkshake, soft toys and not necessarily in that order. Perhaps I can do this before her next book is released (see - I don't even know what date that is!)

That takes care of 4-5 reviews :) As for the rest, I haven't got a clue what I'll be reviewing. But I'm looking forward to reading all the other books reviewed here, and to more great work by Kimber An :)

Happy New Year!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

Before I write my blog post (which will be short this time, I'm sorry) I want to tell you all Happy New Year!  I hope your Christmas holiday was fantastic and that the new year brings you and yours all the happiness and great surprises you can hold!



For my blog post, I have an observation to make and a question to ask. The young adult market is swarming with paranormal stories (which I love, don't get me wrong). But I've seen a few historicals popping up, and I'm very interested in those. I love stories about ancient egypt and medieval/renaissance periods. The next story I have brewing will be a historical  and a bit of a change for me, which should be nice.

My question is: what do you wish you could see more of in the YA/MG world?  What time period? What draws you to or repels you from historical fiction?
