checkers65477I'm grateful to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
emmaco for her review of Adam Rex's The True Meaning of Smekday, because it reminded me that I'd wanted to read it. I loved every page of it and will enthusiastically recommend it to every kid I see. I think I'll get it for my 13-year-old niece for Christmas, too.
This review from the NY Times is much better than anything I could write, but I'll add that I laughed my way through the entire book. It's crazy and hilarious, and one that I'll want to reread from time to time.
I finally got my hands on Dragon Blood by Patricia Briggs, the sequel to Dragon Bones. MWT recommended these, and they're very good. I liked the first book better than the second, but both were a lot of fun, with characters you come to love, a cool fantasy world, and thoroughly evil antagonists.
