A story about "Inkspell"

by Cornelia Funke

I’m in the middle of listening to the audiobook of this and I am in love! When it started, I had doubts, but now, in the midst of it, I am pretty much just in awe of the language and the writing. I think, too, it has to do with Brendan Fraser’s performance, but whatever it is, I can’t even imagine reading this book instead of listening to it. Being a librarian, I love to read and only “found” my love of audiobooks a year ago. Since then, audiobooks have been my constant companion on my commutes and I can’t see myself living without them. However, if I’m listening to a great audiobook and then get home and want to read, I find myself wanting if I don’t have just as good a book that I am reading. So anyway, my point is that I am truly enjoying this audiobook and hopefully, when I finish, I’ll want to buy the book for the school library, though I’m sure I’ll wish I could get an audiobook collection growing and include it in there. :)

Fantastic Four

by Tim Story

me being who i am in that i can’t say a movie wasn’t worth seeing if i enjoyed in the least… well, i couldn’t put that it wasn’t worth consuming. on the other hand, i’m glad i didn’t pay money to see it and it’s not on any lists of fav movies.

His Dark Materials Trade Paper Boxed Set (Golden Compass, Subtle Knife, Amber Spyglass)

by Philip Pullman

I’ve heard this series mentioned so often in my school media classes. Of course, I didn’t realize it was as good as it is!! I was so enthralled – I read the first book in a day, went to the library and read the second book the second day, then on the third day, went to the library for the third book and finished it just three days later. Amazing, gripping, and definitely not an easy series to accurately predict what’s going to happen next!

by Robert A. Wilson

i’m so addicted to robert anton wilson’s books and i wish i could get my hands on every single one. i might not understand all of his allusions, but it makes me wish i did and want to do research to learn all that i can about everything he talks about.

A story about "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (Book 5)"

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (Book 5)

by J. K. Rowling

I could not wait for this book to come out! Went to the release party at Borders and waited in line with all the rest of the 300+ people. Fortunately, bought it and got out of there within 20 minutes and finished it two days later. I’ve heard some not-so-positive comments about it (that it’s not as good as the rest), but my whole “thing” with books is once you’re deeply connected to a fantasy world found in a book, it doesn’t matter what the characters do, you just want to be with them in their world, no matter what. We’re such HP fans and I wish we could afford to collect even more than we’ve been able to so far.

A story about "Witchlight"

nobody@allconsuming.net (radiantbeth) — Thu, 26 May 2005 21:03:02 GMT

Witchlight

by Marion Zimmer Bradley

amazing! i couldn’t decide while reading it if i really liked it. i got caught up in the story, though, and never wanted to put it down. the end… well, i’ve always been one to want to continue reading after the last page has ended. i want to read about their mundane existance after the excitement of their lives that was shared through the book. i want to look through a window into the characters’ lives after the fact. so here i am wanting that more than ever. just to continue to be a part of their lives – to keep them part of mine.
