I just started reading Looking for Lost Bird: A Jewish Woman Discovers Her Navajo Roots by Yvette Melanson.

I was able to get It's Halloween by Jack Prelutsky from my library today and read it already. It was a fun book. Jack Prelutsky writes wonderful poetry.

Thanks for recommending David Bouchard. I'll see if my library has any of his books.

You should check out more books by him. He is a great author.

My top three are:

It's Halloween
Scary, Scary Halloween
Boris and Bella

I'm currently reading Tears of a Vampire Prince: the First Krystine by Christine E. Schulze.

I'm not sure. That's a good question though.

Maybe it could have to do with publishing companies and how much they promote a book, whether they think it'll be popular or sell a lot, etc.
I'm not really sure. It is a question I've been wondering myself.

I recommend them to people. Or just talk about them a lot lol
That's what I do on my blog. I've blogged about Diana Wynne Jones so much that people have went and started reading her books. It's also happened with other books I've recommended on my blog.

I think some of my favorite authors are unknown.
I believe Diana Wynne Jones is pretty well known in the UK, but when it comes to America, I haven't met anyone that has heard of her. Diana's most well known book is probably Howl's Moving Castle, which was made into an animated movie.

Joan Lowery Nixon is another I think that isn't very well known. Her book with the most ratings on Goodreads is The Other Side of Dark and it has 547 ratings. How I discovered Joan Lowery Nixon was through my library's website while I was looking for books to borrow. The first book of hers I ever read was The Haunting and I thought it was great. It has 242 ratings on Goodreads.

Joseph Bruchac is a wonderful writer, but I don't think he is too well known. Skeleton Man, Whisper in the Dark and many of his other books are very good. I also really like his childrens books. The First Strawberries was a nice one.

Mine is January 21st.

Hi, my name is Eden and I'm new to the group. I'm a writer of Cherokee descent and I love to read. I read all kinds of book, mainstreamm, unknown, all genres. Basiciall, whatever book sounds interesting to me I read it.
But I have found that some of the best books I've read are unknown. I'm glad to have found this group and I look forward to finding more unknown books to read.
