Ms. Escandon takes us on a madcap ride, driven by a Latina Scheherazade in a Mexicali womens's prison. Eccentric prisoners, gossiping truckers and a father and daughter on the lam are just some of the elements Escandon uses to create this jewel. A FUN READ!!

BRAVO!!!!, Ms. Meyers. I have been a scifi/fantasy reader for over 40 years and this book is now my all time favorite. Meyer's ability to portray the intricacies of relationships is what makes this book so outstanding. One cannot help falling in love with all of the characters, flaws and all. The Twilght series is good. The Host is abolutely fantastic.

Quantum Rose was my first Skolian Empire novel. I was hooked by the end of the first chapter. A have read all of the series and Quantum Rose remains my favorite. If you are curious about Asaro's books this is a great place to start.

Just when you think that nothing more can happen to Harry Dresden, Jim Butcher comes up another fantastic adventure for him. I like the fact that Harry still comes across as a regular person who just happens to be a wizard. No matter how powerful and terrifying the villians are, Dresden can't let the bad guys win. This series is absolutely the best of the contemporary urban fantasy genre.

Ms. Lackey's Elemental Masters series is a total delight. I read each one as soon as I can get it. The books are loosely based on classic fairy tales and I love picking out all of the similarities. Ninette, a young french dancer, is on the brink of starvation after she is fired, due to the jealousy of the star performer, from the ballet company due to the. She encounters a talking cat and thus begins her journey, literally, to fame and fortune. Anyone who is into to fantasy really should add this series to their personal collection.
