I quit reading Dagger Quick by Brian Eames. It might be a great story, but I couldn't get past pg 70 it annoyed me so much. 0 stars if I could give that. Just finished Margaret Peterson Haddix's Among the Imposters...it was decent. 4 stars.

Brandon Sanderson's The Alloy of Law I'm not convinced the title fits the book well, but it was a good story regardless.:stars5:

I'm not exactly sure what you're asking, but Nevada Barr does a nice job bringing Anna Pigeon to life.

Putting my plug in for Not for Sale by David Batstone It's about the global slave trade and human trafficking...more like an intro than anything else.

Yup, that's the one. Not for Sale. Excellent book. Has anybody here read it?

I'm not really a nonfiction fan, but this book is a very interesting read about the state of human trafficking in today's world. Highly recommended for anybody interested in learning more about slavery.

odd name, but very cool, do you mind sharing how you came up with your handle?

I tried blogging, but I'm sooooo inconsistent with it. What tips do you have for keeping your blogs up to date?
