  1. If I were to list the books I’ve read so far in 2008-2009… I think people would say I’m narrow minded.

    The last GOOD book i read however was The Game by Neil Strauss which was very good. He’s coming out with a new one about surviving the breakdown of society and I’m pretty excited about that one as well.

    Now Miss Meliss, you list 12 books but which one was the best one ? What’s worth reading ?

  2. Hi Miss Meliss;

    So sorry to spam your post! Just hoping to get in touch with you about an author, Emily Listfield, who has a new book coming out next month and couldnt find contact info. Its a supsense/thriller but directed at and for women and deals with friendship, marriage, motherhood, and more. Thought it might be a good fit for either here, Biblioteca, or All Things Girl.

    Let me know if I can send you an advance copy or more info? Thanks so much and I apologize again for spamming this.

    sincerely,

    Lauren
