39 Clues: The Maze of Bones

This is the first installment of ten, and I wonder if I will make it through them all. While it came with 6 clue cards, the owner of the book took them and so I have not tried them out to know if they are good. The story is exciting and moves along at a good pace, but I found myself having to reread sections to remember which characters were which. I think it is a clever idea to have different authors writing each installment and I am looking forward to seeing if the characters or the "voice" changes as the series develops.

Vampires!

I never thought I would love a series with vampires and werewolves but Meyer's series is fabulous. Her first book is Twilight and while long, it just hooks you in. I just finished the second book New Moon and I could not put that one down either. There are 4 in the series and I am looking forward to getting book 3 from a friend.
