Lord Sunday, book 7 of the Keys to the Kingdom series

Lord Sunday (The Keys to the Kingdom, #7)Lord Sunday by Garth Nix

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This series was fantastic! Phillip Pullman has his controversial series on God and the angels, and Garth Nix brushes through creation in this one. I loved the depth of character development- watching Arthur's inner strength as he grew as a person, and was surprised at his part of ending. This is definitely a series I'll reread~

Compulsion by Heidi Ayarbe

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

While I don't have OCD, I identified with this book on way too many levels. I think on some level, we all have things we obsess about, and while maybe we they don't control our lives like they do for Jake, they are still there and still influence the decisions we make. I like order. I love for numbers to match up. Maybe that's part of why being a librarian clicked so nicely for me... And now I'm going to have Bolero stuck in my head for the rest of the day.

And as a side note, it was my great honor and pleasure to meet and get to know the author while she was in Carson City for her book launch. She is amazingly intelligent and a super sweet person! She even brought me chocolate covered coffee beans from Columbia! :) Love. Her.
