I must say this is one of the most enjoyable challenges I've done. Lots of new ideas for authors to try.

I didn't know whether you were supposed to let Carl know or not, so I did that yesterday. <BR/><BR/>Still enjoying Eragon, even though I'm not that far into it yet. Will borrow Eldest from my daughter at some stage. Have you seen the movie of Eragon. Pat?<BR/><BR/>Hi Quixotic! I clearly need to get The Goose Girl before I read River Secrets. There was me thinking I'd been really clever. ;-)<BR/><BR/>You won't be disappointed by the next two in the Assassin trilogy, I can promise you that. I actually think my favourite was the last one.Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371069000185280668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-19583549614290671212008-06-20T16:27:00.000+01:002008-06-20T16:27:00.000+01:00cath: go leave a comment on carl's blog that you c...cath: go leave a comment on carl's blog that you completed the challenge!DesLilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02582481597658080464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-6143130796670486032008-06-20T12:40:00.000+01:002008-06-20T12:40:00.000+01:00Great selection of books!

Am hoping to read more by her soon.<BR/><BR/>As you already know, I loved Assassin's Quest too. Great book, I'm really looking forward to the next two in the trilogy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-46868090405533394342008-06-20T00:25:00.000+01:002008-06-20T00:25:00.000+01:00oh I read Eragon and Eldest.. i think I'm one of t...oh I read Eragon and Eldest.. i think I'm one of the few who enjoyed it lol.. I had a few minor problems in it but overall I liked both books and will get the 3rd book when it comes out this september.<BR/><BR/>Obviously I think I'll like Anne of Green Gables too lol..I really don't think I read much as a kid but I may have seen the old movie of it.DesLilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02582481597658080464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-6331797766255755182008-06-19T20:29:00.000+01:002008-06-19T20:29:00.000+01:00Hi Luli.

I thought it was a stand-alone. *sigh* Never mind, I'll check the library catalogue for The Goose Girl. I know they have Enna Burning but it's out at the moment.<BR/>Do you have a blog I can visit?<BR/><BR/>Thanks Pat! Oh, I think you'll like Anne of Green Gables. It's so charming and the setting of Prince Edward Island so lovely. It's just a gorgeous read. I must get to Anne of Avonlea soon too. Currently reading Eragon and loving it.<BR/><BR/>Thanks Nymeth. Yes, I feel pretty silly about River Secrets. I saw that beautiful cover and nabbed it. LOL. I'll get hold of a copy of The Goose Girl and Enna Burning asap. I've enjoyed my Terry Pratchett fest so much that I think it made the challenge special for me. I have a couple more Pratchetts lined up to read soon, including Monstrous Regiment and Truckers. :-)Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371069000185280668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-17736816499816383272008-06-19T20:13:00.000+01:002008-06-19T20:13:00.000+01:00Congratulations on finishing the challenge!

And what could be better than a Terry Pratchett fest? <BR/><BR/>About Shannon Hale, like Luli said, River Secrets is the third book in the Bayern series. I think the story would work well enough on its own, actually, but the problem with reading it first is that it will spoil the endings of the first two books.Ana S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16092495983972185943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-3741313943955117532008-06-19T19:12:00.000+01:002008-06-19T19:12:00.000+01:00congrats on finishing!!
