Happy Holidays from Macmillan Library!
Dearest librarians,
This will be my last blog post of 2011. It's been an absolute pleasure blogging about all of our amazing books over the last year.
Tomorrow, I'm heading back to the Pacific Coast to spend the holidays with my family. I'm looking forward to a lot of eating, reading, and sleeping in as late as Mom will let me.
Things we're looking forward to in early 2012:
World Book Night USA, during which two of our titles, HOUSEKEEPING and ENDER'S GAME, will be given out for free to remind people about the joy of reading! See all of the WBN books here or jump right in and sign up to give away books.
This holiday season Talia and I wish you many hugs, lots of smiles, delicious food, and piles of puppies. You make our jobs wonderful and easy.
Have an excellent rest of the year, and we'll see you on the other side!

He’s Just Not That Into Books: Something Strange
Sometimes I think teen ladies have it made when it comes to fast-paced, page-turning, character-driven novels with a twist of the otherworldly. Bookshelves groan with kick-a** teen heroines vanquishing evil and saving the world (and to be clear, I am NOT complaining!).
But let's take a look at some of kick-a** heroes dealing with the paranormal day-to-day.
INFINITY
Sherrilyn Kenyon
The author of the Dark-Hunter Novels has turned her attention to the streetwise 14-year-old, Nick Gautier. When Nick is approached by a mysterious warrior and sucked into the realm of the Dark-Hunters he learns of the immortal vampire slayers who risk everything to save humanity. During his heroic escapades Nick skirts death, destruction, and suspension in order to help save the world. INFINITY is the first in this series, followed by INVINCIBLE.
TEMPEST
Julie Cross
Jackson Meyer has something in common with Nick Gautier, his world is not what it seems. But in Jackson's case, he's the anomaly. Having recently discovered he can travel through time, Jackson is testing the limits of his power when men arrive to recruit him. In his resistance, his girlfriend is shot. Now Jackson must save the girl and take down the bad guys. Typical hero business.
ENDER'S GAME
Orson Scott Card
After those two titles, you hit 'em with a classic page-turner and they're hooked for life.
Well, that's it for our week of recommendations for the ever elusive teen male reluctant reader. Check them all out here (or under the tag "Just Not That Into Books") and let us know what we left off!

Taking a dip in the backlist.
I've been on a backlist reading kick.
It started with Orson Scott Card's Speaker for the Dead, and I loved reading it so much I had to dive directly into its sequel, Xenocide. That hasn't happened since Lamentation, and you all know how obsessed I am with that series.
