The logos look alike, but the genres couldn't be more different!

2010-04-18T01:33:57+00:00

These are two publishers' trademarks that you definately don't want to mix up! I noticed that the two of them look VERY much alike a while back, and it made me do a double take.

On the left is the imprint for Candlewick Press Teen line. They publish books for kids 12 and up.

And on the right is the logo for Spice Books, the erotica line for Harlequin.

Not something you want to mix up if you are buying or pitching a book idea.

2010-01-08T17:37:05+00:00

I'm stuck in a bit of a dulldrum. I want to attack my "Need to Read" list, but am feeling a little listless about them.

I have Once bitten, Twice Shy by Jennifer Rardin; Urban Shaman by CE Murphy; and Night Life by Caitlin Kittredge all started, but am kinda not getting into them right now.

Please help me sort through my list to find the exciting gem that will get me back on a roll again!

I will update this list as each is updated and released.

Can anyone tell me the name of the book?

2009-07-07T15:59:14+00:00

I was wanting to do a top 10, but I have forgotten the name of one of the books. It was the first in a teen series about vampires that was from the 1990s, I believe. This vamp teen girl meets and falls for a high school boy in a cemetary, so enrolls and starts to attend his school. I don't remember too much, because I honestly didn't care for it and didn't finish it. There is a scene where some kids try to break in and steal the school computers, but she manages to scare them away.

The cover had her dressed in typical black vampire gear with a black and red cape. Very stereotypical.

Any help would be great.
