4 - Mr. Darcy's Diary, Amanda Grange

This was so much fun to read! I'm always fascinated by stories retold from more than one point of view (e.g. Mists of Avalon and Midnight Sun). This time it's Mr. Darcy telling the tale of his love for Elizabeth Bennett. I loved the little insights into the characters which Amanda Grange added to the story! I devoured this one...I think I finished it in just 3 days!

On a side note, I know why I have only just discovered the new Star Wars books: the first in the series, Outcast was published just this week. I know the third is due in October, so I can only assume that the second will be out this summer. I am very excited! I really like the cover art, too.

3 - The Chronicles of Vladimir Tod: Ninth Grade Slays, Heather Brewer

I enjoyed the plot of this book, and the development of the vampiric world. However, some of the conversations between Vlad and Joss or Henry are completely unrealistic, which really annoys me. I guess I'll probably read the third book when it comes out this summer, but I'm not really all that impressed.

Next (and so far MUCH better): Mr. Darcy's Diary by Amanda Grange. The story of Jane Austen's amazing Pride and Prejudice, told from Mr. Darcy's private point of view.
