I've told my husband about it. He and his colleagues are always looking for MG series books that are fun and neither boy- nor girl-centered, and these sound as though they fit the bill. You do a really in-depth review. I'll have to get my ms as good as possible!Mary Witzlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06458299046574564155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9054081895459294120.post-58814406909560517512010-03-26T07:52:53.495-05:002010-03-26T07:52:53.495-05:00Anne, I've never watched American Idol either....Anne, I've never watched American Idol either. Long ago, I felt sort of on top of most books and authors. Now? No way. There are always books I haven't heard of, and authors whose names are new to me.Marciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10006966091789130047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9054081895459294120.post-10141777424320791202010-03-25T19:59:32.256-05:002010-03-25T19:59:32.256-05:00Wow, I've never even heard of this series.

I remember one time going to the library to find out what the Captain Underpants thing was all about. The librarian said, "Nope, can't keep 'em on the shelf!<br /><br />Andrea -- Sometimes that happens to me, too. As much as I love to put long lists of books on reserve, I find that if my pile is too big, it affects my enjoyment of the book I'm reading. I try to keep my TBR stack no higher than six now.Marciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10006966091789130047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9054081895459294120.post-31566129968298759422010-03-25T13:32:49.789-05:002010-03-25T13:32:49.789-05:00I began this series a while back and was anxious t...I began this series a while back and was anxious to read it, but couldn't settle into the book. It wasn't the book's fault. I enjoyed what i read. It was me. I had so much going on that I couldn't get into the book. Thanks for keeping us up to date on these, Marcia.Andrea Vlahakishttp://www.andreavlahakis.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9054081895459294120.post-47509552192833533192010-03-25T06:53:19.690-05:002010-03-25T06:53:19.690-05:00This is series I've been wanting to read, but ...This is series I've been wanting to read, but every time I go to the library, they're checked out!Bish Denhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13359927719391990534noreply@blogger.com
