RussellA World Without Heroes, by Brandon Mull, at Fantasy Literature ps: just once I would love to have a book for every letter of the alphabet. So please, why not consider reviewing a book beginning with E, I, J, K, M, O, Q, U, V, X, Y, or Z? Then I would not have to search frantically, and disappointingly, for reviews of The Menagerie, or Undertown. For a while, Jinx and The Key and the Flame covered those two difficult letters, but that well seems to have run dry... You Only Die Twice, by Dan Gutman, gave me a Y once, but no one has reviewed Zombie Kid or Zombie Tag or Zeus and the Thunderbolt of Doom for ages...It's probably a fruitless task-- I don't know if I have ever been able to include a book beginning with X. I once read a book beginning with X, but did not feel moved to review it.....Authors and InverviewsSage Blackwood (Jinx) at Charlotte's Library (giveaway)Anne Nesbit (Box of Gargoyles) at The Enchanted Inkpot"Lemony Snickett" (Who Could That Be At This Hour?) at The Children's Book ReviewSoman Chainani (The School for Good and Evil) at The Enchanted InkpotAri Goelman (The Path of Names) at The Haunting of Orchid Forsythia and Brooklyn Arden (who edited the book; giveaway)Jessica Day George (Wednesdays in the Tower) at Small ReviewKelley Armstrong (Loki's Wolves) at Literary Rambles (giveaway)Kit Grindstaff (The Flame and the Mist) at CynsationsR.R.
