I like stuff with romantic elements and angst, usually YA, fantasy, paranormal/urban fantasy or variations thereof. Usually wrinkles nose at sci-fi due to unlikely tech. Straight girl who likes boys that like boys!

Books to bring on the upcoming holiday, part 2
This always happens to me. I start thinking about which books to bring on a holiday too early, and then find these books to be irresistible because they are by definition my new and shinies. So I read them because I've never been any good at pacing my treats.
So, with 4 evenings left before I go, I will try to do this again and mentally shake an angry a fist at myself whenever I think I will start reading any of them before I am on the plane. NO MORE CHEAT-READING BEFORE HOLIDAY, WOMAN!
Looking at my list it seems rather.... top-heavy on the YA and M/M. Should possibly aim at adding some paranormal, general romance and fantasy - or books that span several of those categories.
Current list:
- Wanderlove - Kirsten Hubbard (YA)
- Reality Boy - A.S. King (YA)
- The Coldest Girl in Coldtown - Holly Black (YA, paranormal)
- Steelheart - Brandon Sanderson
- Archangel's Legion (Guild Hunter) - Nalini Singh (PNR)
- Jellicoe Road - Melina Marchetta (YA)
- After Midnight - Santino Hassell (M/M, dystopian)
- Serenading Stanley - John Inman (M/M)
- Bad Idea - Damon Suede (M/M)
- Days of Blood and Starlight - Laini Taylor (YA, paranormal)
- Love Irresistibly (Fbi / U.S. Attorney) - Julie James (romance)
- Stripped (city2city) - Edie Harris (romance)
- Finnikin of the Rock (Lumatere Chronicles Series) - Melina Marchetta (fantasy)
Current collection of too shiny not read before departure:
This Song Will Save Your Life - Leila Sales (YA)
- Silent - Sara Alva (YA, GLBT)
Suggestions for awesome stuff is of course welcome.
