I think the one I'm going to read first is "The Revenge of the Shadow King" by Derek Benz & J.S. Lewis. It's an advance copy of the first book in a new series that is being marketed as "the next Harry Potter" (the latest of many such--color me skeptical).

I figure my books look somewhat better on the shelf if they match.<< I just got a look at the "Wolves of the Calla" mass market. It's a fraction of an inch taller than the previous volumes. It's just different enough to look really wrong next to the others on the shelf. I don't know what the publisher was thinking.
Originally Posted By DDMAN26 Yeah I bought Wolves of the Calla anyway, but I'm not too happy about the look. Oh well it's what's on the inside that counts.
Originally Posted By jasmine7 Heh, I'm reading those, too, DD. I had started rereading The Waste Lands a couple of weeks ago (the only one I've read, lol), but I ordered the entire series from the Sci-Fi Book Club last week. Unfortunately, all but The Dark Tower are on back-order, so I'm going to have to wait until I start from the beginning and work through the series. I'm going to start rereading an old favorite tonight: The Last Unicorn by Peter S. Beagle. I'm also rereading Pandora by Anne Rice. Out of all of the Vampire Chronicles books I've read, I think it's the best. Pandora is a fabulous, strong, and well-written character, and her story is addictive.

Originally Posted By Kylesmom The Da Vinci Code. Not loving it so far. I guess the book would have a hard time living up to the hype, but I'm finding the hero as suspect story line a little hacknied (sp?). I REALLY liked Angels and Demons by the same author.
