The Painted Man (Demon Cycle 1) by Peter V. Brett Eleven-year-old Arlen lives with his parents on their small farmstead, half a day’s ride from the isolated hamlet of Tibbet’s Brook. As dusk falls upon Arlen’s world, a strange mist rises from the ground; a mist that promises a violent death to any foolish enough to brave the coming darkness, for hungry corelings – demons that cannot be harmed by mortal weapons – materialize from the vapours to feed on the living. As the sun sets, people have no choice but to take shelter behind magical wards and pray that… Read more »

Wake by Lisa McMann
Wake (Wake 1) by Lisa McMann NOT ALL DREAMS ARE SWEET. For seventeen-year-old Janie, getting sucked into other people’s dreams is getting old. Especially the falling dreams, the naked-but-nobody-notices dreams, and the sex-crazed dreams. Janie’s seen enough fantasy booty to last her a lifetime. She can’t tell anybody about what she does — they’d never believe her, or worse, they’d think she’s a freak. So Janie lives on the fringe, cursed with an ability she doesn’t want and can’t control. Then she falls into a gruesome nightmare, one that chills her to the bone. For the first time, Janie is… Read more »

And since I’m moving away from parents, all kinds of things needs arrangeing. I’m hoping I’ll get my internet connection back soon but I” try to use my parents’ pc few times. I have this week’s mailbox post scheduled but won’tprobably be able to comment. I’ll check email and twitter with my phone so I won’t be totally out of the loop. Hopefully I’ll be back soon :)
