The Last Werewolf

The Last Werewolf - Glen Duncan Delightfully witty & visceral at once...

The Night Circus

The Night Circus - Erin Morgenstern Loved this book, absolutely loved it.

Ready Player One: A Novel

Ready Player One - Ernest Cline Really helps if one is a fan of 80s geek trivia.

Retribution Falls (Tales of the Ketty Jay 1)

Retribution Falls (Tales of the Ketty Jay 1) - Chris Wooding Steampunky & Firefly-esque...

Shadow of Night: A Novel (All Souls Trilogy)

Shadow of Night - Deborah Harkness Enjoyed everything except the supernatural elements of the novel, which given the subject matter, did not leave much to enjoy. A pity, I had high hopes.

Rock and Roll Will Save Your Life: A Book by and for the Fanatics Among Us

Rock and Roll Will Save Your Life: A Book by and for the Fanatics Among Us - Steve Almond Maybe I just don't understand rock & roll fanaticism.

Dust

Dust - Joan Frances Turner Yes, this book is about "zombies" with feelings & consciousness. Really though, they're ghouls, what with the lack of mindlessness accompanied by a craving for flesh. *shrug* Hated it, no matter what the creatures were named.

Thirteen Orphans

Thirteen Orphans - Jane Lindskold Please, having the characters sign a treaty on the 4th of July, & viewing it as auspicious? From a Chinese cultural perspective, I think not. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TetraphobiaNot bad otherwise.

Wonderful World: A Novel (P.S.)

Wonderful World: A Novel (P.S.) - Javier Calvo Reminds me a bit of a Guy Ritchie movie, which is a good thing in this case. A charming blend of tough guys, art crime, & family skulduggery.

Looking for the Mahdi

Looking for the Mahdi - N. Lee Wood Rather liked this book, way back when. Was reminded that I'd read it after looking at the blurb for "Alif the Unseen".
