*At the moment, I'm at Level Three with 10 books, but we'll see... [ETA: I just added an 11th title. Hmmmm. ]
Revolution ended up being my favorite YA book of 2010. I hope you enjoy it!

Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie - Really excellent! I hope you get to it.
Nellie Bly as a character in a mystery is intriguing, and I've had Deanna Raybourn on my list for a while now. After reading your review of Shadowed Summer, I'll have to check out Saundra Mitchell, too.
