48 Hour Book Challenge

Wide awake now and reading 3rd book in Cinda Williams Chima's "Heir" series, The Dragon Heir.

Have been stinging for months now over the ent nephew's astonishment that he had read a book before I had.

UPDATE:
Finished Dragon Heir. The ent-nephew told me something happened to one of the characters and it made him sad. He was right. It made me sad too.

UPDATE:
Starting second book, oohh, aaahh, wow....

UPDATE:
Radiant Girl by Andrea White. Bright Sky Press, 2008

Given this busy weekend I am glad I was able to read one book, much less two. What a terrific book to end on for my 48 Hour Book Challenge. I will review the book in more depth later this week but I will say that I was completely engrossed in this story. This well written historical fiction considers what it must have been like to have been a living near the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant when the disaster occured.

Harry Potter Par-tae!



Well, the entling apparently did NOT win a trip to J.K. Rowling and the Moonlight Signing at London’s Natural History Museum, on July 21st. There were ONLY 40,000 plus other entries. I note that a 17 year old girl in the area did get the call.

Hokey smokes, look at the line up B&N and Disney Publishing has put together for July 20 at Barnes & Noble Union Square in Manhattan!

Dave Barry (via video) and Ridley Pearson
Eoin Colfer (via video)
Rockstar Rick Riordan
Jonathan Stroud
Cinda Williams Chima (anybody read her books?)
Uber Narrator, Jim Dale

They will be webcasting the event.

Update: B&N is rescheduling the authors. They are now saying "each author will be individually rescheduled at a later date." -- from Mickey News

I have been listening to Book 6 so I will be ready. The entling has been reading them in reverse order, as is her tradition.
