Happy reading! Hope you enjoy them (I certainly enjoyed the first three).
*Sigh* I put it off for years but I'm about to start ACC's 2001, just hope it's not as boring as the Rama books |

Well, this will inspire you to read 'em: I zoned out in the first 50 pages of 2001.

i've never heard of those books before.
I jsut finished reading the first book of the Sackett series, i guess that's wht you'd call it. "Sackett's Land" i've only read 3 of 'em so far and they were all really good. the one i just read had a bunch of sword fighting and all kinds of other stuff in it. Anyway it was a really good book and i'm gonna start reading the next one soon.

I'm really bad at exlaining stuff but i can try.
I've only read 3 and the 3 i read were Ride the River,Jubal Sackett, and Sackett's Land. I'm not sure what all the others are about cause there's about 15 or 20 i think.But I think each one is kinda the story of one of the Sacketts but each one mentions other Sacketts in it. they're really interesting if you read them in order because a couple books will be about one Sackett and all about his exciting life and then 2 books later it's about his son and then there' books about that guys life untill he dies or something. The first one is about Barnabas Sackett and how he's trying to get to the New World and stuff.It takes place in the 1500's. the ones i read had sword fighting and all kinds of other adventures in 'em. (i guess that's the word for it).

and "The riddle of Penncroft Farm." by Dorothea Jensen.

Right now I'm reading Saints and Villains by Denise Giardina. It's about Deitrich Bonhoeffer. It's quite good so far (I'm about a quarter of the way through).

I have tried reading Subtle knife but cant get into it. Its harder than Northern Lights. Keep reading Northern Lights and then tell me what you think of it. K?

Embarrassingly I've actually just picked up a really soppy romance I used to read a few years ago called My secret love. Its a real teeny piece of rubbish but for some reason I've just been drawn to it again. Maybe its an omen!!! Mx
