Daughter of Hounds by Caitlin Kiernan:

The changeling Children of the Cuckoo have been stolen from their homes and raised by ghouls. Contact with humans is forbidden them, and they even hear a terrifying cautionary tale of a girl who tried to flaunt this interdiction. Yellow-eyed eight-year-old Emmy Silvey is about to cross paths with one of the ghouls' children, the woman named Soldier, a killer for the Bailiff, who works mostly with the Hounds of Cain (i.e., the ghouls). In a yellow house in Providence, Emmy and Soldier are doomed to learn the terrible truths about their lives. For Emmy, discovery begins when, on the train to visit her stepmother in New York, a strange woman tattooed with the seal of Solomon warns her to avoid horses. Soldier's enlightenment commences when she nearly dies in an attempted betrayal by her partner and starts getting really nasty jobs and partners who aren't particularly safe to work with. Kiernan's storytelling is stellar, and the misunderstandings and lies of stories within the main story evoke a satisfying tension in the characters.

I'm reading Northern Lights - Philip Pullman. It's a really good book, though it's actually lighter and slower than I expected. My friend hyped it up a little too much, I think.

I just finished reading A Million Little Pieces. It was really good, and there was such a scandal about it here I was really worried. But yeah, it was really good.

Yeah that's it. The guy had even went all over tv to promote it and had talked about it...and then I guessed someone looked into the things he had said and found out that most of it wasn't true...or not true to the extent that he said it was. So he then had to come back onto tv and admit that he had made most of it up. It was pretty insane. But the book was still a best seller here, and either way...it was a GREAT book. Plus it even has a sequel.
