Publisher : Grand Central Publishing Date : January 2010 Page Count : 287 BOOK DESCRIPTION: Maximum Ride and the other members of the Flock have barely recovered from their last arctic adventure, when they are confronted by the most frightening catastrophe yet.

But submission is an art, and there's something oddly freeing about doing someone's bidding...especially when it feels so very, "very" good. But I find that the more I surrender, t...

I'm fitting in reading "Tithe" (finally) so it is only right that this week's choice deal with a favorite subject: fairies. I loved the first book, EYES LIKE STARS, so expectations for the second are only natural. Can't wait to read: Perchance to Dream: Theatre Illuminata #2 by Lisa Mantchev We are such stuff as dreams are made on. Act Two, Scene One Growing up in the enchanted Thèâtre Illuminata, Beatrice Shakespeare Smith learned everything about every play ever written. She knew the Players and their parts, but she didn’t know that she, too, had magic. Now, she is the Mistress of Revels, the Teller of Tales, and determined to follow her stars.

Bertie can make things happen by writing them, but outside the protective walls of the Thèâtre, nothing goes as planned. And her magic cannot help her make a decision betwee...
