Okinawa. Nice. I never made it down there but a few of my friends on Hachijo were originally from Okinawa. Visiting Okinawa is one of the many things I've filed under 'someday'.

Currently I'm in Hokkaido, the northernmost of the four main islands. I've been here for a few months shy of two years. Before that I lived on a small island 300km off the mainland of Honshu. Administratively, it was Tokyo but with a population of only 8600 and a physical size of 69 square kilometers, it was far from what what would consider Tokyo. Fun nonetheless. I lived there (Hachijojima) for two years.

I see you've been reading the Runaways graphic novels (and that you've been liking them). I started reading them a few years ago based purely on the fact that Joss Whedon was writing a story arc. I'm so glad I did. The entire series is fantastic!

Hey selkie_girl thanks for adding me to your friends. I see from your Library that we share a few books in common.

I guess when you compare 'So you want to be a wizard' with the proliferation of material since HP, it is slow. It was first published in 1983, so was a forerunner, along with Diana Wynne Jones, whose books I also worship. I love the description of Timeheart at the end, and the fact that it wasn't a totally happy ending. I've read all the others in the series, and do promote it to kids when they ask what else there is to read after HP.
I've placed books 2-4 of Percy Jackson on reserve, so am hoping they are returned in order! I've also pinched an idea from your page, and have now listed my 'waiting impatiently for' titles. My birthday's coming up, and usually I request book vouchers, but perhaps I can steer people to this list instead..... Worth a try, I suppose!

Hi from New Zealand, selkie_girl. I think you've got an interesting library too. I was scanning the titles you've completed for your challenge, and was ticking so many off as I read. Mercedes Lackey is a particular favourite of mine - such a pity that it takes ages for her books to get here. I know I could use Amazon, but am trying hard to restrain myself. You've also mentioned Lauren Willig, who I discovered last year, and adore. I've just reserved the latest in the series - 'The seduction of the crimson rose' and will wait impatiently for that. You may also like the Sebastian St Cyr mysteries, by C.S. Harris, and the first book is 'What angels fear'.
We've got a lot of teen material in common too. I just finished 'The lightning thief' and loved it, so have added the rest of the series to my waiting impatiently list, which keeps growing! And you've just bought 'So you want to be a wizard' by Diane Duane - you have a treat in store there.
Happy reading!

I saw on your post from What Are You Reading Now that you're finishing STOLEN INNOCENCE. I haven't read that book, but if you're interested in reading how Mormon theology can play out in today's world, you might want to take a look at SECRET CEREMONIES by Deborah Laake. It's the story of one devout Mormon girl's struggle to fit into the mold her family and her faith taught her she should be content with. An interesting book.

I was also interested to see that you disliked THE RED TENT. Me too! It seemed to anachronistic to me -- applying late 20th century feminist perspectives to the world of primitive nomads. To get a real idea of what our Biblical foremothers were really like, if you're interested, you might want to check out books that delve into the life of women who still live that way today -- the Bedouin, many Afghani women, and many Saudi women.

Although I'm definitely not a LDS, I grew up in the 'burnt-over' district of Western New York -- the area that experienced so many religious revivals in the early 19th century, including the birth of the Mormon faith. I've been a student of comparative religion for about 25 years, so I'm always on the lookout for objective works on what a faith is like from the inside. Unfortunately, these are few and far between, as most books on religious faiths are either written by apostates or by true believers.

If you like thrillers (and I get the sense that you don't, from looking at your books), you might want to check out Steven White's HIGHER AUTHORITY -- a murder mystery involving Mormon theology.

Happy reading!

Hi Tabitha,

I received The Crystal Skull as an ARC. My first ARC also... how exciting. I'm really enjoying the book - are you? I hope to finish it this weekend and write a review.

I also work at a high school, but as the data specialist. Of course, the librarians are very good friends. ;-)

Hi, Tabitha ~ Thanks so much for looking, I appreciate it. I guess my thread'll have to stay incorrectly titled forever. ;D

Moving was a nightmare that seemed to go on and on forever, but it's over now and I'm all settled in and loving my new place, thanks for asking. I now live within a 5 minute walk of where I work, which has cut out a 3 hour per day commute and given me loads of extra time that I still don't know quite what to do with. Yet. My plan was to put most of it to good use writing, but so far, nada.

Well, hope you have a great weekend and, if you live in the U.S., a wonderful holiday Monday!

Mary
