Personal News: Overloaded with homework, good thing my procrastination skills would rival any high school slacker's. The outcome of my fair nation's election: a Conservative minority government. Is this not exactly what we had before? Oh, Stephen Harper. You didn't even look particularly happy at your party. Tsk, tsk.
Blogging News: Just finished up a contest for the YA/chic lit novel, The Celebutantes: On The Avenue. Winner to be announced Sunday. Recently asked the faithful, lovely readers of my blog if they had an idea as to what book I should do a report on for my end-of-term project. Latest review was Amy Belason and Jacob Osborn's Jenny Green's Killer Junior Year.
Reading News: Currently reading Emily Franklin's stand alone novel, At Face Value. It's a modern retelling of the Cyrano de Bergerac tale. Except "Cyrano," is a big-nosed, ambitious, and snarktastic teenager named Cyrie. Good so far, but not "WOW!" On the other hand, it's not "WOW! This makes me want to hurl!"
Suggested Topic: My personal favourite point-of-view to read is first person. Second person is extremelly annoying, although I could deal with the odd chapter being written in the "You" format. Third is okay, it can span a lot of characters' emotions, but it makes it hard to really fall in love with a single character.

Very interesting to learn of another YA novel with Cyrano at its heart. Thank you for the heads up.
(I too find extended second person annoying)
