Of course books and books! I have listed my to-be-read books getting ready for the Christmas/New Year holiday! Yay! I've got 15 days to read books including my annual leave on January 3 - 7 next year.
First, let's start with these books which have been literally sitting in my chair for months now.
I was sooo young when I watched this movie and since I love to read/collect books which were turned into movies, I bought this book.
This one I borrowed from my best friend.
I love Harlequin books! If you want a short romance story - buy Harlequin books!

I got 3 more Anita books I bought from Book Sale (in bold) but I couldn't read them without reading Book 10, 13, 14, 15. Lately, I have this obsession in checking good old books in Amazon with positive reviews and then I'll go to Book Sale to find them. So, imagine me staying in that room for more than an hour. Oh, I remember - I found 3 more Laurell K. Hamilton books in Book Sale - the Gentry series BUT I had no money that time. Had to go back to the office to get money and then when I came back - sooo pissed! Gone! Up until now, they can't tell me where those books are!
And this one, my first Marvel - a gift from a friend Comic Freak of:

I've read a lot of good reviews for this book NightShade by Andrea Cremer. Since Vampire Academy series by Richelle Mead has just ended this December, I'd like to find a new series to follow and I'd like this book to be my "last buy" for 2010. "To-buy" on December 25.
And these are the books I received from authors/publishers and agents for book review:
Currently reading

What's more, the Gods known as the Lovers are luring Temmin into serving them for two years; King Harsin works to stop him, fearing the fulfillment of an ancient prophecy. Haunted by his own mistakes, Temmin must confront the intimate history of his ancestors and decide between the direct, pragmatic path to power offered by the King, and the more subtle, spiritual path of the Lovers.
With the help of his family's immortal advisor Teacher, Temmin must make his choice. One will lead to ultimate glory for Tremont, the other to its end, but which one is which?" - Goodreads

"Alli-Kar, a white-hole portal from another universe, rains meteoroids onto the surface of the planet Kelanni. But the so-called "lodestones" behave according to different physical laws, transforming Kelanni's society.
With the aid of the fearsome Keltar in their flying cloaks, the Kelanni are being put to forced labor to mine the lodestones.

"When handsome TV archaeologist Faladan Pala disappears while taping an episode of “I Dig the Past,” it’s up to Petchy Maligula, grrl detective, to bring him back alive. Petchy is big and tough, and more than a match for any man, but she does have one weakness: She’s madly in love with Faladan Pala. When she hears an evil cult called the Sisters of Inner Beauty may have abducted Faladan so they can sacrifice him to the ancient serpent goddess Quatakexel, Petchy vows to save him at all costs.
As she contends with ghost gangs, demon wannabes, eccentric professors, reclusive millionaires and snotty babes, she must draw on all her power?both muscular and magical?to learn the truth. But as she delves into the case, she uncovers a secret that knocks her for a loop and threatens her love for the man of her dreams."
"Dancing Cat angers her Ancestor, whose harsh punishment teaches her that true strength comes from the spirit within.
Cursed, abused, and desperate to know her future, Dancing Cat sneaks a glimpse inside her tribe's Sacred Bundle, a powerful source of spirit magic. Instead of the future, she sees her most powerful ancestor, Small Tree and incurs her wrath. Small Tree strips Dancing Cat of everything - her home, her identity, even her gender - and drops her in the middle of enemy lands.
Injured, and in a strange, new body, she is befriended by Bearclaw who is on a spirit quest. He offers her assistance and asks for nothing in return; a kindness Dancing Cat had forgotten existed. She struggles to weave a path around the obstacles of friendship, identity, and longing in order to survive her eventual return home to face even further punishment.
And she does it while wearing someone else's skin." - Goodreads
