And the authors who blog at The Enchanted Inkpot offer their best advice for writing fantasy.
Zoe at Playing By the Book has announced a new twitter forum for adults who want to talk about children's books--up and running later today (3:00 pm EST)
Those who want their Shannon Hales to match can now be happy--here's the new hardcover edition of Forest Born that matches the earlier books in the series (at left)! (I like it lots better than the old version. I never liked the sleeves on the old one. In fact, I would go so far as to say that they are my Least Favorite Ficitonal Sleeves of all time).
Thanks for featuring my post here! I really want to read The Thirteen Clocks series- it sounds like one I'd really enjoy. I'll also be sure to click through on the Roderick Townley review. I read that book recently and was pretty disappointed in it, though I hear great things about his The Great Good Thing, which I recently acquired.
ReplyDeleteYay! I love those covers best (talking about the Shannon Hale books)
