I'm reading this book at bedtime with my daughter right now. It's the second in the series, and tells the tale of a group of 4 kids -- brilliant misfit kids -- who are brought together and who must go on problem solving adventures. Don't want to say more than that, no spoilers. Highly recommended if you have middle grades kids who like Harry Potter, etc.

The Jane Austen Project
Jane Asten + time travel. What's not to love? Just started, but enjoying it so far.

I'm currently reading the first book out of Stephen King's recent series, Dark Tower: Gunslinger.

Arthas: Rise of the Lich King
I'm a BIG FAN of World of Warcraft series. And this book Arthas was the first book I read in the U.S. except books for studying. I read this more than twice. Reading a book written in English for fun was a great experience.
World of Warcraft is a name of game and its saga was huge. Arthas was a tiny piece of the saga. Arthas, the prince of a human kingdom, was corrupted by evil and he killed his dad. Then he became the king of zombies and he tried to destroy the world.

I just finished one of the best books! Funnily enough I had no idea what it would be about (I have a tendency to buy books at thrift stores that look good and stack them on a shelf and just pull them off to read one at at time; I read all kinds of genres) but it was so good. It's a fictional novel called Leaving Time by Jodi Picoult and here's the review I wrote about it:
One of the best books I have ever read. It's a great mystery and has elephants, themes of motherhood, childhood, paranormal mediums, grief, love, etc. I could not figure out the mystery and it had me enthralled. Literally brought me to tears in several parts; especially Alice's chapters about the elephants. Elephants are amazing, sentient, emotional creatures. Please donate to elephant conservation groups if you can; there are a few listed in the Authors Note at the end or just visit Sheldrick Wildlife Trust.

Ah - this answers my question from the other forum -- there ARE WoW books. I thought it was just a game.
