Hot or Not and More Reading

So, the other day I was watching Ugly Betty on ABC and lo and behold, Betty had my skirt on. Now I'm just trying to figure out if this is a good thing or a bad thing?
Also, I have still been on my reading kick. I decided I'll just put a couple of things about each book and whether I liked it or not. Maybe it will inspire a few of you to read. I know I am always looking for a good book so if you are also, well, look and see and maybe something will spark your interest.

I really like books by Daniel Silva. I didn't know that this was a series and accidentally read the last one first but it was still really good. They are about espionage. So, if your are looking for a good spy book, here is one. Warning, they swear in it! Not a ton but there still is some.
I didn't really know what this book was when I started it. It's a true story about the auther, Douglas Preston and his friend Mario Spezi who start doing research into a case. It's about a serial killer who murders couples in Florence, Italy. To this day, they have never found the killer. It's also a pretty good book. It's a little graphic though and they also swear in it.
This is the first book in Daniel Silva's "Gabrielle Allon" spy series. I really liked this one a lot! Once again, some swearing.
I haven't actually finished this book yet, but so far it's super cute. It has a Harry Potter"esque" sort of tone. It's about a young girl named Meggie who thinks that her father is just a book binder when he is kidnapped and she finds out there is a lot more to her father than she knows, including the reason her father will not read out loud to her!
This is the kind of sequel to The Giver. I liked it a lot. It's pretty short and easy reading. I wouldn't say I loved it but it was overall really good.
My little brother told me I had to read the Artemis Fowl books. I'm actually on the second one. Once again, I wouldn't say I LOVE them but they are good and great for passing the time.
This book is NOT for the weak in testimony. It started out SOO good I couldn't put it down. All the way up until the last little bit when Dan Brown totally disappointed me. Let's face it, the man hates organized religion and God. So, yes, it was generally an awesome book with an intense story line, but don't be fooled, nothing is what it seems to be.
Loved this book and I can't wait to see the movie. It has so many good lessons in it. I really really recommend reading it. It's just wonderful. It's not too long either.
A Christmas Carol, also a Christmas classic. I have grown up watching the movie Scrooge every Christmas for as long as I can remember but I haven't ever actually read the book. First off, if you haven't seen the movie "Scrooge" I HIGHLY recommend it. It's a musical version of the classic story "A Christmas Carol" and so far the best version I have seen of all the making of it. The book is just as great as the movie. I love it and totally recommend reading it, especially as Christmas draws nearer!
