Jaz Parks here. But I'm not alone. I'm hearing voices in my head - and they're not mine.

The problem, or maybe the solution, is work. And the job's a stinker this time -- killing the gnomes that are threatening to topple NASA's Australian-based space complex. Yeah, I know.

Customer Review: Dancing in my nuddy pants is yet another installment in the traumatic and hilarious life of Georgia Nicolson. Georgia is torn between choosing her Sex God (Robbie) and her Dumpee Dave the laugh. This book has it's hilarious moments but is serious sometimes when dealing with issue that actually relate to what teenage girls go through. It's a great a read and I would recomend it to any girl between the age of 13 and 16, though really it can be enjoyed by anyone they are more likely to relate to it.

Coraline eBook by Gaiman, Neil

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 53:11:32 GMT

Customer Review: I'm decided to purchase this book after watching the movie in 3D (twice), and was not disappointed. It's a fine example of why fans of novel-to-film adaptations should always go back to the source material to fully experience the world created by the author. The novel Coraline has all the spunk of the movie version, but more inquisitive, more alert. She's an explorer. And owing to some plot and character differences, when our heroine enters the Other World to meet the Belle Dame, she feels so much more alone. Chilling. Just the type of thing I would have loved to read when I was a tween. A must for all Gaiman followers and fans of the Henry Selick movie.

Brisingr eBook by Paolini, Christopher

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 53:11:32 GMT

Customer Review: Brisingr is the third in Christopher Paolini's sequence of fantasy novels. The first novel, "Eragon", was a triumph; the second, "Eldest", was a little uneven; but "Brisingr" has the author back on full form. The story is gripping, and Paolini's inventiveness superb. Read it!

But what is normal for a werewolf?

Then Vivian falls in love with a human, a meat-boy. Aiden is kind and gentle, a welcome relief from the squabbling pack. He's fascinated by magic, and Vivian longs to reveal herself to him.

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 53:11:32 GMT

A beast. Not quite wolf or bear, gorilla or dog but a horrible new creature who walks upright—a creature with fangs and claws and hair springing from every pore. I am a monster.

Yes, the spell, the one the witch in my English class cast on me. Why did she turn me into a beast who hides by day and prowls by night? I'll tell you. I'll tell you how I used to be Kyle Kingsbury, the guy you wished you were, with money, perfect looks, and the perfect life. And then, I'll tell you how I became perfectly . . . beastly.
