Stick a Needle in My Eye

This post is a little late. I spent a little time in Ocean Springs, so I'm playing catch-up. I finished the second book in the Gallagher Girls series, Cross My Heart and Hope to Spy by Ally Carter. I liked this book better than the first. This book expanded on the world that the first book introduced. That is as it should be with a series. Each book should expand upon a world that the author introduced in the first book. I think Cameron is turning out to be a very interesting character. I do have the next book in the series, but it is several books down in "The Stack." (Twelve, if I'm not mistaken). Right now I am reading another fantastic book by Eva Ibbotson, A Countess Below Stairs. Her books are always interesting, though most seem to follow the same pattern. The characters and settings of her books are the real draws in all of her stories. She creates both very vividly. That's how she draws in the reader every single time.
