This is not an early reviewer book, but as I recently finished it, I thought I would provide a review.  Dragons of the Highlord Skies, written by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman was a Christmas present from Kris and Sandy.  It was a quick read considering the page count.  It took me around a week to read.

The missing adventure!  The lost chronicles are the stories that fall in between the Dragonlance Chronicles.  This one takes place between Dragons of Winter Night, and Dragons of Spring Dawning, and encompass the struggle to obtain the dragon orb, and the politics and goings on in the Dark Queen’s forces.

I highly recommend this book.

Once again, I was lucky enough to get an advance copy of the book Frakenstein: The Graphic Novel by Mary Shelley. Below is my review of the book.  As a teaser, I received notice I have another on the way as well!

This book is a wonderful representation of Mary Shelley’s original novel, in graphic form and I found the story to be just as engaging as the original. It has been a long time since I read the original, so I can’t speak to how true to the novel it was. For those who don’t know, the story of Frankenstein is a story about a scientist, who sets out to create life. His success takes the form of a gruesome monster, who when rejected by society becomes violent, and begins to torment his creator. I recommend both the Graphic Novel and the original as good reads!

So my loving wife bought me a book on caring for my books. It is called The Care and Feeding of Books Old and New: A Simple Repair Manual for Book Lovers. After reading this book, I’m of the mind I can fix a few of my old, dusty, and somewhat abused books. However the first thing I wanted to do was inventory, and clean them off of the dust that has collected over the last year or so. Read the rest of this entry »

So it appears that Amazon has worked some magic, and are going to offer The Tales of Beedle the Bard for sale in December. They are taking pre-orders now. The price seems very reasonable, however I have to wait until December to get it! *SOB* There is a Special set you can buy for $100.00 which comes with a bag, and fake book cover to put it in. I will probably go for the $8.00 version myself.

Woot!
