    HI Garrett, I really like your shelf. My mom is following you too, Anna. You have to read The Enemy, especially if you like zombies, like me. I'm glad she let me read it, it took some convincing.

    Hi Garrett B
    I saw Divergent while at Barnes and Noble, I almost picked it up, but decided to wait. Can't wait to read it. Thanks for your review of 5 stars.

    Garrett, because we both love sci/fi fantasy/adventure stories I want to recommend a few of my favorites for you to consider adding to your wish list: "Night Lamp," "The Demon Princes," "The Cadwal Chronicles," and "Lyonesse Trilogy" by Jack Vance, "The First Law Trilogy," "Best Served Cold," and "The Heroes" by Joe Abercrombie, "The Night Angel Trilogy" by Brent Weeks, "The Fourth Realm Travellers Trilogy" by John Twelve Hawks, "The Riyria Revelations Series" by Michael J. Sullivan and "Tales of the Dying Earth" by Jack Vance is perhaps the quintessential collection of sci/fi fantasy/adventure stories ever written by one of the most revered and awarded authors to write in this genre. The words that come to mind when trying to describe his incredible achievement are: wondrous, magnificent, epic, spellbinding, dazzling, exquisite, inventive, eclectic verbiage, magical, elegant, enthralling, engrossing, imaginative, original, mellifluous pacing, atmospheric backdrops, transformational, fantastical storylines! I read the first story in this collection when i was 11 years old and the others in the ensuing years. Over the years I have read the collection over 20 times, each time reflecting on the joy it brings me and its life changing impact on my reading addiction. Just imagine being able to transform written words from your minds eye into life-like visions and you will then understand the sensual impact of Jack Vance's brilliance! Ironically, because of its unique qualities I have always been protective and therefore reluctant to expose this truly fabulous literary experience to others for fear of diminishing its value to me...a misguided supposition I know, but true never-the-less. So, if you want to take a journey into the unknown and wander through the beautiful worlds as penned by a master scribe then you will want to read this incredible collection of stories and revel in their beatific perfection. Storytelling at its best; a masterpiece...Enjoy and READ ON...

    One of your favorite authors, DJ MacHale, was on tv this morning. I've yet to read one of his books; I hear his books are good. He told the anchor he got his inspiration from living in a haunted house. A woman had died in the house and in the room which happened to be his bedroom. Creepy. He says he mentions her in one of the books, but I didn't catch all the details. He's done a lot of work for being a young guy. Here is the link for the interview. http://djmachalebooks.com/tag/kcal-9-interview/ Thought you might enjoy it.

    You gave Everlost 4 stars but only 2 for Everwild; sorry you didn't enjoy it. I have yet to read it myself.

    I just ordered from Scholastic "Face on the Milk Carton". I read your review about the sex part..bummer. I'm going to read it anyways since I already paid for it. I don't like when authors put stuff like that in their books when young ones are going to read it. But this is why I read children's fiction so I can pass on the info.

    I noticed you have "Compound" on your shelf, that is another good one. The father is a weirdo. I couldn't put this book down. A must read.

    Hi Garrett B. I have you on my friends list, but you're not following me. I don't know how it works, but if you can add me, I think you will like my shelf, as well as my son's. I love your shelf as well.

    Of course you read it. I really need to read it. I finished the second one yesterday and I was really mad that I didn't have the third at hand. I heard it wasn't the best, but it apparently ties up the series really well. And maybe the movie will be like Star Wars: not enough money in the budget but it turns out to be a big hit and pays for itself three times over. Or, maybe they don't need a whole lot of money for the movie? It'll need a lot of speacial effects, but maybe everything else is pretty basic. But what do I know? Gary Ross is the director, right? Do you know who's writing the screen play?

    It was fantastic. Deffinately one of the best books I've ever read. I can't wait for the movie. I agree with you: Katniss should be played by an unknown. I'm half way through the second one now, and it's SO good. Have you read Mocking Jay yet?
