The Infernal Devices, Book One. Good story of magic and such in Victorian London. Prequel series to the Mortal Instruments. I don't know if I want to read any more, though.

OK, so I read the Readers Digest Condensed version, sue me! Good story, don't know why I'm prejudiced about her books. I've read two, they were both good. Maybe it's just something about Mary...

Six little suspense stories involving rags-to-riches Alvirah and Willy.

I read this a zillion years ago, and am so happy I read it again! This is classic, great science fiction, IMHO. A tourist tour "boat" becomes trapped under the dust in a lunar sea.

A rather good book about a guy named Sam who just got out of prison for accidentally burning down Emily Dickinson's home, and two people with it.

Either this book is too clever for me, or it is not. A couple good paragraphs. I am proud I stuck it out. Read 9/2004

This is a very popular book, but it is not working for me at this time, so I am quitting at ePage 99. Gave up 4/2025.

A boy writes to the author of a book he read. Very good. Read it before back in the eighties. MIGHT BE NICE IF I HAD SPELLED THE AUTHORS LAST NAME CORRECTLY!
