Yes,American Shaolin is very good so far(I plan to interview the author later this month)and I finished The Winter Rose much sooner than expected(ha,ha,TV reruns!).

Oh,and I have to thank you,Robin,for that preview of The Host-I’ll be getting my own ARC of it soon! And yes,I will give Twilight a try-it’s on my Booksfree list as we speak.

I’m going to blog soon, I hope, about what I’ve been reading. Just want to quickly say HAPPY FREAKIN’ 2008!!! and that, when you finally do go camping, I hope you have a blast.

Yep, Robin, I started on Eoin Colfer in the fourth grade. Hooray for book fairs.

I’d suggest Artemis Fowl first - that’s what I started with, at any rate. I understand some people have trouble getting through the first chapter or two, and I remember that being the phase of “Ooookay. What is this?” but if you can make it to chapter three or four, you’ll probably like it.

I think a big part of enjoying Artemis Fowl is letting it be what it is. If that makes sense.

After the first one, they go Arctic Incident, Eternity Code, Opal Deception, and Lost Colony - so silver, blue, red, then lighter red with a demon reaching out of the cover.

And thus I once again manage to turn a simple recommendation into a speech. -bows-

Happy New Year, Robin! Re-emerging from the stress-swamp that was this Christmas eager to sign up for anything you’re offering! I should know better, but 50 books in 2008 definitely shouldn’t be a problem, unless things go totally… (No, trying not to be so superstitious!)

Not a good sign that I had difficulty remembering what I was reading last week, but now I’ve got it: finished Click, which is a fund-raiser for Amnesty International - bunch of authors, one story. It was a good cause, anyway, and ’nuff said. Now I’m reading Philip Reeve’s Starcross - sequel to Larklight. It’s Victorian cyber-punk (or steam-punk? I never know how to use those terms correctly!) and a lot of fun. That guy can sure write well in wildly different styles.

I lifted a copy of Dickens’s A Christmas Carol from my inlaws over the holidays. It was a quick read–comfortably familiar but also pleasantly surprising, especially since the version I’ve seen the most these days is Mickey Mouse’s! That one’s slightly abridged and altered, to say the least. Dickens’s writing was actually quite fresh and funny, even though it was first published in 1843. Definitely a classic I enjoyed.

I had hoped to begin the year with Eclipse, but I’ll be getting it from the library and I have to wait in line, but I am next. I should have it by the 12th or so of this month, so I’m happy.

I’ll have to find something else to start the year off with!

Haven’t finished anything but spent Christmas money on four books. I’ve started Lady Friday by Garth Nix and I’m still working on Twilight.
