1. I finished the Chiveis Trilogy, and it was pretty fantastic. Im hoping for a second trilogy that further explores the world Bryan Litfin has created. For other fiction, I recently read Tolkeins The Hobbit in preparation for the film release this December. Definitely a good (and quick) read. Comment by Andrew Wencl July 5, 2012 @ 8:37 am
2. Tolkens The Hobbit. Trying to finish it before the movie comes out. Comment by Chris Land July 5, 2012 @ 9:18 am

4. Right now, I am reading The Chronicles of Narnia. I love it so far. Last month, I had read some of Frank Perettis books and read The Dwelling Place which is a wonderful Christian Fiction books. I am looking forward to read Randy Alcorns fiction books and more of Frank Perettis too. Comment by 'Guerite ~ BoldLion July 5, 2012 @ 12:19 pm
