gilanaMy Sister's Keeper: A Novel by Jodi Picoult
Wow. I'm just not sure what I thought of this. I hate books that keep switching POVs, and this one used about 6, although it kept to one per chapter. And just as I was really getting caught up in it -- that ending! It felt like a manipulative cop-out to me. Grrr. So I guess I enjoyed the book overall but I'm pissed at the author and not likely to try her again for a while.
The Wizardry of Oz: The Artistry And Magic of The 1939 MGM Classic by Jay Scarfone
One of my little obsessions is The Wizard of Oz (the movie more so than the books), and I'm always interested in new behind-the-scenes info about it. I've read a fair number of books about it, but this one was the best I've found. They have blueprints of some of the sets, and pictures of the matte paintings that were used for some of the backgrounds along with stills of the scene *without* the matte added in. Lots of info on every technical aspect you could want to know.
The Blood Books, Volume II (The Blood Books) by Tanya Huff
OK, has anyone else read this one so I can rant about the ending of Blood Pact with someone? Aghhh! Dammit, I'm afraid I'm going to have to break down and buy Volume III now.

The Truth-Teller's Tale by Sharon Shinn
The Secret Country (The Secret Country Trilogy, Vol. 1) by Pamela Dean
Not sure I really liked this. There was an awful lot of politics and plot, not quite enough character for me. I'll probably at least start the second one to see what I think of it, though.
