One Response to Alphabetical Listing

  1. Hi,

    I notice you are not adverse to chidren’s books – if you are looking for something new to read, I would wholeheartedly and a little evangelistically recommend ‘Wolf Brother’ by Michelle Paver – I don’t know if it is released in America, but it is one of the best children’s books I’ve read! (Along with the ‘Magician’s House’ series by William Corlett.) It is actually a series, and I am still waiting eagerly for the final book to be published. I m a bit of a sucker for mystical style fantasy adventure (hence my love of children’s books!), but if that appeals to you then you will love it!
