A Wrinkle in Time 70 reviews Madeleine L'Engle
Square Fish, 2007
One of my favorites
+ A Piece of Literature in Time + Meg and Friends
I still remember the first copy I ever read of this book. And then in the 6th grade I won as a prize the copy I now have. This is probably one of the greatest fantasies ever written. It existentialist, scientific, and downright practical sweet all in the same stroke of a pen. Not only that, but ...

Book of a Thousand Days 54 reviews Shannon Hale
Bloomsbury USA Children's Books, 2007
Fine Fairy Tale Revisited Option
+ Simple read
Hale has mastered these other kingdoms so unlike our own, yet so familiar. Book of a Thousand Days brings to life a little known Grimm's tale (not for the Disney-hearted) and a way of life from long ago, far away. However, the book resonates with teens who are beginning to question social order, ...

Fatal Revenant (The Last Chronicles of Thomas Covenant) 68 reviews Stephen R. Donaldson
Putnam Adult, 2007
The Unexpected Present
+ Twists and Turns + Wow!!!
When I found out that Stephen Donaldson was writing another Thomas Covenant chronicle, I felt like I had been given an unexpected gift. Something I really wanted but never thought would be given. The second book of the last chronicle is a wonder.
Donaldson unfolds his tale with all the loving ...

Harvest Books, 2004
loved this book
+ Dealing with loss, shame, and the imperfect + wonderful
I love the idea of time travel and have enjoyed similar stories from movies and books such as "Somewhere in Time" and "Wrinkle in Time".
The Time Traveler's Wife is one of my all-time favorite books. The author did a wonderful job weaving the different time sequences together and I thought she ...

The High King's Tomb (Green Rider, Book 3) 49 reviews Kristen Britain
DAW Hardcover, 2007
Great book!
+ Amazing detail, character development
This third installment in the Green Rider series was a good adventure! There were many surprises as well as some predictable moments, but not enough that made me like the book any less. I really enjoy Britain's writing style, and like how it is in a way a very cliched fantasy, but at the same time ...

Magical
+ More of a romance novel, but still good. + Enjoyable read. Good Escape reading!!
Wonderful book read beautifully! Unique original views of Vampires with a riveting love story. I had a hard time with the mushy love story at first but held on for the action and by the time I reached Eclipse I was so glad I read the books. Breaking Dawn will blow your mind! Well worth sticking ...

Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West (Harper Fiction) 1517 reviews Gregory Maguire
Harper, 2007
Novel will change your perspective of "OZ"
I became enthralled by the characters Elphaba, Glinda, Nessa and many others throughout the novel. Many issues are brought to light including Animal cruelty, spirituality, inter-racial relationships, good vs. evil and political themes.
This story is a detailed (very long) yet interesting novel ...

I was surprised by all the negative reviews. I guess I wouldn't of been reading the eleventh book unless I really enjoyed the series but I found it a total joy. I was thrilled to be spending more time with Richard, Khalan, Zedd, Nicci, Cara, and all the rest of the bunch. In my opinion Goodkind has ...

I love this series!

I can't get enough of Merry Gentry's world. Love it. Better than the Anita Blake series. Love the play on Celtic lore, the love story, the push for non christian perspectives. Absolutely adore Dole. Laurell finally got a powerful man right, no breaking this one down into fluff like she did with her ...
