Rain: A Lilliphim Novel by Melissa Niska


Some of my favorites:
The Help:  Read this book!  That's my official suggestion.  Just do it.  You won't regret it.  I think it was my favorite book of the whole year.


A Proper Pursuit: This was a very cute love story set in the late 1800s.  This is not my usual style by any means.  I generally stay away from sappy love stories (this one isn't particularly sappy) because the unrealistic sappiness annoys me.  Period pieces usually aren't my thing either but I LOVED this story!  I think I only downloaded this book because it was a cheap Kindle purchase but I'm so glad I did.  


The Mockingbirds:  This is a fabulous story.  It's about a high school aged girl who is date raped.  The story doesn't include any details of the rape but discusses the aftermath and her (sort of) revenge.  It's very good.  


Also, I'd like to give a shout out to my co-worker friend Melissa Niska who wrote Rain: A Lilliphim Novel.  She just recently got her story published.  It's available in print at http://www2.xlibris.com/Bookstore/bookdisplay.aspx?bookid=90169 or through Amazon or Barnes & Noble for their e-readers.  If you enjoy science fiction or a good vampire/werewolf story you'll enjoy all the interesting mythical creatures in this book.


What books did have you read recently?  I'd love suggestions for 2011.
