My daughter and I are reading Kingdom Keepers....we are hooked!!! Love them,you can just imagine where they are in the parks by the descriptions!!
When I moved last year I forgot my Kingdom Keepers books at my parents house but I just talke to my mom a few minutes ago and she will send me the books with some other stuff I urgently need. I hope I get them by saturday. But I still dont know where my KK3 is so I have to order it again together with part 4 and 5 which I didn´t have read yet.

The books are really great.
we are just now finishing 4. will get 5 when it comes out in paperback(easier to store on shelf).Hope he continues to write these!!

I've been reading a book that I haven't read in a long time! It's called __Runaway _Dolls by Ann M. Martin.
The story behind it was these dolls come alive talking and stuff trying to solve a mystery about a mysterious package.
Read the book and see what happens next!
Even though it is geared toards fourth grade or something it's a cool book to read! It came out in 2008.
Enjoy!

if you like sci-fi, then hit up peter f hamilton. his space opera starts with 'the reality dysfunction' but please give it three chapters, he writes very dense and has several (like 5) story threads going on at once... a real page turner!

I'm reading a horrible book at the moment ~ the writing is so hard to follow...I'm thinking it is intentional as the main character is sort of flighty but it makes it really hard to read. I wish I was better at putting down books. Luckily I am almost finished with it and am looking forward to the next one being much better :lol: I do wonder where all the "aclaim quotes" on the book jacket came from though :shock: :?

My best friend sent me Birdsong by Sebastian Faulks (or is it Faulk, can't remember) for Christmas so I'm working on that now. It's good so far.

Judging by the books people have said they like, everyone on here would completely love any of Trudi Canavan's books, she has written 2 trilogies about the same (magical) world and a couple of other books and they are some of the best things I've ever read. They are for teens and adults, everyone should give them a go! Also, these Kingdom Keepers books sound really good! They aren't all on Amazon though, anyone know anywhere I could get them in the UK or shipped from?

Perhaps eBay would have a seller who has listed them, or do you have American friends who can purchase and ship them to you? I can buy them anywhere here, even Disney itself.

I'm actually working on writing a book. It's in its early stages right now, but I really hope I can get it published one day. =)
