Romantic and Affordable Restaurants in London?

February 24th, 2010

ParDon asked:


My boyfriend and I will be going to London for a week during the winter holiday. We’ll be celebrating NYE there and we’re staying in Notting Hill neighborhood, next to Portobello Market. Any recommendations for romantic eating spots throughout the week around London and especially for NYE. We’re looking for off-beaten ideas and nothing too over the top.

Anyone have YA Christmas/Holiday/Winter book recommendations?

February 24th, 2010

Laina asked:


2000 or laterish would be preferred. It’s for my book review blog. I’m going to be doing a theme month for December and I only have a short list so far. I want lots of option in case I don’t like some of them, and I don’t want to use any I’ve already read.

Here’s what I come up with:

From my to-read list:

(Non-YA)
Christmas Wishes by Debbie Macomber
When Christmas Comes -//-
Snowbound by Lindsay McKenna, Cara Summers & Laura Marie Altom
Once Upon a Christmas by Lisa Plumley

(YA)
The Twelve Dates of Christmas by Catherine Hapka
Kissing Snowflakes by Abby Sher
Ex-Mas by Kate Brian
Let It Snow by John Green, Maureen Johnson and Lauren Myracle

From Online:

Mistletoe: Four Holiday Stories by Hailey Abbott, Melissa de la Cruz, Aimee Friedman, and Nina Malkin
My Brother’s Hero by Adrian Fogelin
The Tricksters by Margaret Mahy
Jingle Boy by Keiran Scott
The Christmas Killer by Patricia Windsor
Dream Soul by Laurence Yep

Any recommendations?
