These books might be a little too "standard" for you (hope you know what I mean by that, can't think of a better way to say it), but I am enjoying them. I even repurchased the first 2 in hardcover so i could have them all in hardcover.Jeff Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00865412847796927368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8068873.post-39594960707094367742008-12-28T17:54:00.000-06:002008-12-28T17:54:00.000-06:00Tony,Hopefully, you'll give it a shot soon.Martin,...Tony,<BR/><BR/>Hopefully, you'll give it a shot soon.<BR/><BR/>Martin,<BR/><BR/>Which one of those, if any, would be worth my while to read?Larry Nolenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16001420558511460998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8068873.post-82773929518180283752008-12-28T14:44:00.000-06:002008-12-28T14:44:00.000-06:00This year I read and enjoyed the following SFnal Y...This year I read and enjoyed the following SFnal YA novels:<BR/><BR/>Shadow Web by NM Browne<BR/>Bunker 10 by JA Henderson<BR/>Skellig by David Almond<BR/>The Knife Of Never Letting Go by Patrick NessMartinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01345781894610597191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8068873.post-11006712932863773022008-12-28T11:33:00.000-06:002008-12-28T11:33:00.000-06:00I really want to read Graceling.
