    Thanks for your review! I was thinking my son would like to read it. We'll see. Did you see the link to the Alice in Wonderland trailer I posted on your blog?

    The Ancient One says

    "Listen to the Exhortation of the Dawn!
    Look to this Day!
    For it is Life, the very Life of Life.
    In its brief course lie all the
    Verities and Realities of your Existence.
    The Bliss of Growth,
    The Glory of Action,
    The Splendor of Beauty;
    For Yesterday is but a Dream,
    And To-morrow is only a Vision;
    But To-day well lived makes
    Every Yesterday a Dream of Happiness,
    And every Tomorrow a Vision of Hope.
    Look well therefore to this Day!
    Such is the Salutation of the Dawn!"

    Thanks for the accepting my request. I just spent the morning going through your blog and reading through your recommendations. Prior to reading your blog I think we had @ 24 books in common now it's in the 40s. I'm so glad I found your blog. I adore YA fiction and it's nice to find a grown-up who can give me grown-up reviews by someone who enjoys the books personally and is not reading them simply from a teacher's prospective.

    Necropolis was so cool! It came as a bit of a surprise to me, coz I don't know why I was thinking that this was the last one in the series. It was a pleasant surprise though coz I'd love to read more of The Five.
    Did you get to read it yet?

    Oh good, it would be great to read more about the Graces. I'll check out the blog as well, thanks! I am just about to start the Septimus Heap series. Also waiting for my next Sookie Stackhouse book to come through from the library :). What are you reading now-a-days?

    I finished Graceling today and I absolutely loved it too ... nicely paced .. didn't feel like it was dragging at any point ... the plot was really good too... i hope the author writes more books set in this universe. :)

    Thanks for accepting my friendship request!

    Yes, working in a bookstore is a wonderful job. Being surrounded by books, I can think about harder jobs if you ask me ^_^
    I'm afraid that when you look through my shelfs, you will find a lot of dutch books. Since it's easier to place your own books on the shelf, I began to put all the dutch books on it. I hope you can find some inspiration for new reads.

    I found the Beekeepers Apprentice in a little 2nd hand bookstore together with the rest of the series. I was screaming with joy. The store owner really had a good laugh that day ^_^
