I haven't read the Martin books, but I did read all of Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn Triliogy...which was a big time investment but fun all the same. I like Sanderson's magic system and he's generally upheld as an author that is very good at world building.

This is one of the few books I didn't finish reading because I got bored. I was mildly amusing, but I just couldn't get into it. *shrug*

Vivian Vande Velde has some odd type books that are relatively kid safe. I liked The Cry of the Icemark by Stuart Hill. The first is better than the rest of the series. I agree with your son about The Golden Compass...thing just droned on and on. I grew up loving star wars books, both the...

Paulo Bacigalupi has a good book called Ship Breaker that might appeal to him.

Realistic doesn't necessarily mean bad, but there are some parts of reality that it's nicer to skip, even for YA.

:DNice to have new peoples.

Welcome, what sorts of stuff do you enjoy reading?

I've never actually finished anything I've started to read on a kindle, but I've read books on my computer...so I suppose that counts for having read an e book.

Ender in Exile (3/5 stars) Surprisingly semi boring audio CD to listen to. This is a post Ender's Game tale written fairly recently. All in all, not worth reading or listening to...just read the original story and enjoy that.

I haven't read the Hobbit...but the movie adaptations are fairly good.

Edition 2 just released. The kindle version will be free on Monday Feb 25 and Tuesday Feb 26, 2013. Otherwise, it's $1.99. The paperback, kitted with the spiffy new cover is $9.99. It's technically a YA science fiction book, but it's totally adult safe, promise. :popcorn:

Welcome. Whatcha planning on reading?

Welcome. What are your reading tastes? Or do you just read anything?

Welcome. Tell us a little about your books.

Just sort of stumbled across these in the library the other day and was impressed by the characterization. Has anybody else read this author? What do you think of her? Her own story is just as interesting as the book she wrote.

The Mistborn Trilogy by Brandon Sanderson would probably be better categorized as fantasy, not romantic fantasy, but there is romance in there...so, you could try that.

Hi, never heard of that book. What do you think of it now? I'm assuming you got a bit further on that you were.

Which genre would you like suggestions in? You can start a thread in the appropriate subsection or just ask here. I can help a little with science fiction, YA, some fantasy, mystery, Christian, thriller, but that's about it.

Mmm, I sympathize. My artistic skills are right around 0. It's good to have talented friends. Maybe try networking with artists. Cover creation is important; hard work too.

I hear ya, I'm tempted to put a book out at $0.98 just because :-P
