Another Spotlight commin' right up! Like the last "Spotlight" featuring Anastasia Hopcu's debut novel, Shadow Hills? Let me hear your voice–comment! As for this next debut author, whose book actually came out last month, I wholeheartedly intended to buy her book but I couldn't actually find it at any of the bookstores :( I really wish they'd make more room for these kinds of books, instead they have a whole entire shelf dedicated to paranormal/vampire fiction (which is fine if you're into that genre). I hope this debut author's novel gets to grace my bookshelf soon!
ANGIE FRAZIER - Everlasting (June 1st, 2010)
On her final voyage before the wedding, the stormy arms of the Tasman Sea claim her father, and a terrible family secret is revealed. A secret intertwined with a fabled map, the mother Camille has long believed dead, and an ancient stone that wields a dangerous—and alluring—magic.
The only person Camille can depend on is Oscar, a handsome young sailor whom she is undeniably drawn to. Torn between trusting her instincts and keeping her promises to her father, Camille embarks on a perilous quest into the Australian wilderness to find the enchanted stone.

. My Trip to the Phoenix Public Library .
As you might have read in previous Reader Rally posts I went on a trip to Phoenix, Arizona in June. During my stay there I got to visit the Phoenix Downtown Public Library branch... it was huge! Five stories to be exact with the top floor dedicated to nonfiction, the 3rd magazines/archives, and half of the 4th floor is entirely for YA books! To me the most impressive floor is the 5th or maybe the archives room. Thought you guys would like to see some pictures:
(Left) See? Five stories! (Right) The very impressive-looking elevator. Click to view larger pictures.
(Left) A pictures I snapped while flipping through the pages of a 1950s Ladies Home Journal magazine in the archives room. (Right) The rows and rows of book in the fiction section.
. What's In My Mailbox .
Since I haven't had a IMM post in awhile there is a lot of books to show. Some of them I purchased while in Phoenix and others I got at Hastings (they are still having a summer reading sales booklet for kids/teens). I also got to go to the famous ⇒Changing Hands⇐ bookstore in Tempe, Arizona. The YA section was pretty big. Lots of used books :)

I've actually read Ruined, Faithful, and Song of the Sparrows all of which I loved! I have an extra copy of Pirates by Celia Rees as well as Faithful and Ruined. I wonder what I shall do with those....
