(those Enders books are sitting patiently in my TBR pile thanks to hubby who swears by them!) The premise sounds great.<br /><br />All the books today sound great! Thanks for the books and the why we're going to enjoy them!Suzanne Yesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00340451897624838384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6159128827250626285.post-83313122359662701762011-03-31T11:47:16.128-05:002011-03-31T11:47:16.128-05:00I love books about the evergladesI love books about the evergladesLiz @ Cleverly Inkedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16283766836059873892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6159128827250626285.post-81909196043169083392011-03-29T09:02:28.699-05:002011-03-29T09:02:28.699-05:00Lost in the River of Grass sounds like just the ty...Lost in the River of Grass sounds like just the type of book that my kids and I would love, for very different reasons. They would love the relationship story, and I would love the survival story. Thanks for sharing these mini reviews with us. I love the format, and always find something that I know I will love when I see these!Zibileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05857638467064749190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6159128827250626285.post-56101472998621395202011-03-29T06:40:36.935-05:002011-03-29T06:40:36.935-05:00I'm actually not that certain if Orson Scott C...I'm actually not that certain if Orson Scott Card's <i>Ender</i> fans will necessarily make the change to fantasy very well. I can think of a few fans who won't want to approach it simply because of the genre shift... Personally, I'm curious to read it but I'm skeptical after Card's recent disappointing releases.<br /><br /><i>Evolution: The Story of Life on Earth</i> sounds pretty great, but I'm curious about the medium. An alien science lecture to a prince? How much of the book is composed of the "outside" story?Meytal Radzinskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15805413335735169073noreply@blogger.com
