I was also happily surprised 의해 a new book in a new series 의해 Cinda Williams Chima, author of the Heir trilogy (The Warrior Heir; The Wizard Heir; The Dragon Heir). All three are fantastic -- y'all should pick them up come Autumn 2009!

A penetrating analysis of the dark corners of human deception, enlivened 의해 intriguing case histories and experiments – It was written for the professional, yet is understandable 의해 the layman as well because it is so well and clearly written.

Now, there are two types of memoirs in my mind: those about famous people, and those that aren't. Both have their pros and cons. 더 많이 people are likely to notice a famous memoir at the bookstore and buy it based on the celebrity's name -- but "common folk" memoirs don't have pre-conceptions, politics, and religious perspectives to overcome. 또는 you're like me, who likes whatever she reads as long as its good.

I highly recommend this book: Edenbrook 의해 Julianne Donaldson.

I've never read a book this good. It had my stomach churning and flipping and I swear I reread every paragraph a kajillion times, I couldn't get enough. It is a page turning, intense, action filled romance.

Here's the catch: it is during the regence era (like old England, Pride and Prejudice). BUT don't let that scare 당신 off. The author writes in a way that twists modern 글쓰기 and makes it feel old and rustic. It isn't in that big fancy 글쓰기 where 당신 have to look up every other word and read the sentance twice just to understand...

Hi there everyone!

I'm a writer and I'd 사랑 some international support for my story that I already gave to my 가장 좋아하는 actor Colin 모건 personally as a gift. He inspired me for a certain character and it was given 더 많이 as a sign of gratitude for the inspiration rather than for him to read it. No idea if he ever would, but I just hope the effort I put into translating it just for him made him happy that day. What a brilliant actor ^^ Anyways - I've created a club and this account itself for communicating with future readers. I don't want to bother anyone with it, but how else could 당신 let...

In A Sunburned Country, A Walk in the Woods and I'm a Stranger Here Myself: Notes on Returning to America After 20 Years Away 의해 link
While I have only discovered Bill Bryson's works within the past year, I have whole-heartedly fallen in 사랑 with his writings. Why? Because they are the freaking funniest things I have ever read. He delights in depicting the strange and the awkward, which usually turns out to be him. This "God Dad! [teenage eyes rolling in disdain, can't believing that they are related]" theme runs throughout his books, adding *pop* and *crackle* to his extremely informative...

Recently, I came across a challenge to see if 당신 could read 50 책 in a year. The person who came up with the challenge said that they didn't beat it and ended the 년 with only 30 책 read.
