    I recently read Soul of the Sword by Julie Kagawa & The Heart Forger by Rin Chupeco.

    I'm not sure what I'm reading next.

    So, Terry Brooks was my co-worker's college roommate's dad. She has multiple signed books. I'm kinda jealous.

    Making progress on the Shannara series, only two more re-reads before I can begin the new trilogy. Only...rumor has it that it'll actually be a quartet, and there will still be one more book to go. Gah! Now I don't know if I wanna start reading the new stuff at all, and chance forgetting crucial events or characters while waiting for the next book to come out.

    I had to re-read this a few times. My first thought was that I had just discovered an "in" to get an autograph or two, or to give him a copy of my own novel inspired by him. Then I realized your statement was more along the lines of "Spaceballs" where Lord Helmet is telling our hero how he used to be his mother's brother's sister's cousin's former college roommate... "So, what does that make us?" "Absolutely nothing!"

    Yeah, it doesn't help either of us. But it helped my coworker get signed copies, which is still pretty cool.

    I have signed copies of a few books. I have stuff from Richelle Mead, Holly Black, Neal Shusterman and Sarah J. Maas. Target and Barnes & Noble get signed copies in sometimes.

    I once had a signed edition of a financial self-help book which I loaned to a coworker. Unfortunately that coworker was military, and when he got assigned to a new base in another part of the country, my book went with him, never to be seen (by me) again. Phooey.

    I'm currently reading "Kill Me Once, Kill Me Twice" by Clara Kensie. I also have a shelf full of books and I'm not quite sure which one I'll read next. I love anything Young Adult that's paranormal or dystopian.

    I'm also an author myself! I just released a book last month and I've got two books left before my Unfortunate Spells series is complete! I commented back in July that I was writing that book and now it's done and out into the world! LOL. Look me up on Amazon! https://www.amazon.com/Jennifer-Laslie/e/B00NCJV6Z4

    I just finished up the "Institute of the Shadow Fae" series by C.N. Crawford. I may look into reading more of their books that are based in the same universe.

    The Warsaw Orphan by Kelly Rimmer (5*): A better than average, but often grim, historical novel about the destruction of Warsaw in WWII. Author keeps historical background authentic in a story about teens on either side of the Jewish ghetto who have very different philosophies about surviving the horrors of the German, then Soviet, occupation and terror campaigns

    A Heart So Fierce and Broken (Cursebreakers #2)
    by Brigid Kemmerer

    Book 1 was a retelling of Beauty and the Beast. Book 2 isn't. This is a trilogy. One of the characters has cerebral palsy; it is pretty rare to have a character with a physical ailment like this in a fantasy novel.
