Kelsey Ford: Twelve Days of Horror (0 comment)

While putting this post together, I realized that the original song this is based on, “The Twelve Days of Christmas,” needs very little amending to become horrific: why is someone gifting their lover so many different kinds of birds? That can’t be safe? But we love notching the horror up whenever we can, so in our version of the song...

Ender's Game: Ender Wiggin Saga 1 by Orson Scott Card
	CMB, September 05, 2011 This is a fantastic futuristic book that leads you through Ender Wiggins life as a "third". The third child of the Wiggins family. His family was allowed to have more than the usual two in hopes that they would produce the next commander who could save the Earth. It is purposely vague but slowly unravels and is thrilling as it becomes clearer and clearer.

Guys Read 01 Funny Business by Jon Scieszka
	CMB, June 25, 2011 What a great collection of short stories for kids! Well not just for kids and not just for guys either, as the book claims. The stories are fabulous and laugh-out-loud funny. My son can't wait to get the others. #2 is "Thrillers". I have to say I can't wait either.

Sleepless by Charlie Huston
	CMB, January 22, 2011 A great thriller/mystery of sorts. I thoroughly enjoyed this futuristic post-apocalyptic novel. You want to know why and what and how the whole way through. It takes you into a world that is both believable and unbelievable. It reminded me in some ways of The Stand - with a great cast of characters and bits that tug at your heart.

Magicians Book 1 by Lev Grossman
	CMB, January 14, 2011 This was a book I wanted to race through but didn't want to end either. The characters were so relatable, heartbreakingly so. It's been compared to Potter and Narnia but while it does tip it's hat in both of those directions it has a flavor and feel all its own. Plus it is very much an adult book with sex, drugs and rock 'n roll. Two out of three at any rate.

The Ruins of Gorlan by John A Flanagan
	CMB, January 12, 2011 My 9 yr old son has read all 9 in the series and is anxiously awaiting the 10th. I have read them as well and I'm waiting right along with him. These are books that have adventure, danger, humor, friendship and fun. Frankly they make you want to be a ranger! Superb writing and cast of characters this is a series well worth reading, no matter your age.
