Winner of Refer A Book Weekend 6/8/09!

Congrats to NotNessie who said...Try the Pendergast series by Preston and Child. Or, if you like YA, read The Summoning by Kelley Armstrong!
I picked The Summoning by Kelley Armstrong. I read one of her short stories in a anthology book and it was pretty good.

To Kylee who said...I'd like to recommend Shadow Hunt by Anne Logston. I read it a couple of years ago and I really liked it.
This one reminded me of the D& D games I have played with my husband which I get bored of quickly. It could be interesting though.

To Meaghan who said...I really enjoyed Desperation by Stephen King.
This one was made into a movie wasn't it. The description of it seems to remind me of a movie that came out and it looked really good. But whether it is watching or reading Stephen King he is a little to dark and creepy for me right now.

To
gaby317 who said...I enjoyed R.F. Delderfield's To Serve Them All of My Days. Its lead character is a Welsh soldier who is recovering from shell shock from having been in France in WWI. He takes on the job of schoolmaster in a posh boarding school in England because he loves History, learning and teaching. It spans about 20 or so years of his career during volatile times in England. It's very well done, touching, and so hard to put down!
I wasn't interested in this one to much because I have trouble with books about war but then again the only one I can think of that sound a little similar(and I mean very little) is Slaughterhouse 5 by Kurt Vonnegut
