I'm calling this a book comment because I have reviewed S.J. Bolton before, for the book about snakes called Awakening.  So this is just a quick note to say I really liked this new book, Dead Scared.

The Ultimate Survival Manual  by Rich Johnson

The book will come in very handy to anyone. Included are survival skills in the wilderness, disasters, and urban. The inclusion of urban interested me. I had not realized this would in a survival manual though I know survival skills for urban living.

Published May 2012. In just the first Chapter I have a hard time putting this book down. I picked this up because Rather has been in the news so long and I thought it would be an intersting read. I am finding myself shocked at the information released within. Just his dedication to his wife caught my interest in the CBS news journalist.

    Garth Nix is the author of one of my favorite fantasy series, the Abhorsen set.

    Daughter of the Forest was an outstanding read--one that kept me turning the next page in anticipation. Although it is a retelling of The Wild Swans by Hans Christian Andersen, this book was as fresh and unexpected as a totally new story.  The atmosphere is enchanting and the book is lyrical, taking flight in so many ways.
