Other Worlds......

So I posted a few posts back about reading this book and how good it was. Well the truth is I was at one of the ladies houses that I Visit Teach, we were talking about books. I told her that I had read "A Wrinkle in Time" and I didn't like it. So I guess I don't like fantasy books at all. Well she told me she had a book she wanted me to read. She brought out FableHaven, I took it and said I would read it. She loved this series it is her favorite. I have to admit I was a little bummed because I have over 500 books I need to read (darn that DI addiction!), and she just added one more. So I read it on our trip to Chicago. I really enjoyed it, and told Mike he had to read it. He really enjoyed it and got the other books in the series. I was impressed with this writer. I suppose the first author I really know created a different world was JRR Tolken with the Lord of the Rings Series,. He made a different world with different creatures elves, hobbits, walking talking trees, and so on. Then JK Rolling with Harry Potter and that entire world. All of the names, spells, characters, just blew my mind. She created an entire other world. Then Stephanie Myer she just stepped outside of the box and created her own kind of Vampires and Werewolves. While I was reading her books Mike would tell me they can't go out in the sun or they will burn up. I smiled to myself and thought, she wrote the books she made the rules, her vampires don't burn up in the sun. My point is she had a great imagination and going against all of our preconceived ideas she did her own thing. Now again, here is a guy who has a most amazing imagination. He has also created a different world. He was so creative with the creatures, characters, and his story line is really amazing.
I just finished the second book it was sooooo good. I just kept on thinking as I read all of the excitement this came out of 1 mans imagination. It must be awesome to be a writer and create such stories. This Brandon Mull guy has 2 movie deals in the works from 2 of his books. I hope they do Fablehaven justice it would be as good as Harry Potter if it is done right. Then Stephanie Myer has a movie coming out in Dec. I told Mike I thought it was so cool that 2 LDS people have written such books to capture the countries attention and have movies made.
So this is the third book in the Fable haven series. It just came out in May. Mike is ready for the 4th book but I have no clue when or if Mr. Mull is planning on writing more. The second book left me almost holding my breath! But alas I am preparing to teach a lesson Sunday. I don't have the actual lesson I just have a subject. I decided to have fun with it and make a big hand out for it. I need to finish it up hopefully by tomorrow. I actually ask a few people for ideas and only 1 person answered my plea. Then I am also doing a newsletter to go out this Sunday also. My point is I am to busy to start reading a book I can't put down! So Sunday night you all know what I will be doing, reading! (oh yah, the 4th Vampire book is coming out Saturday)There are to many good books out there! Next week will be a reading week!

You know your a grandma when your excited to read a bunch of books!:-)
