Shannon Hale

Over the last 4 days I have read 2 Shannon Hale books, both of which I thoroughly enjoyed.
First, I read Book of a Thousand Days and then this morning I finished Austenland. Both were very good. It's so great to have a local author doing well and writing good books that I can recommend to my daughter (she actually read both books before I did but I knew it was safe to have her read them). It's just one of my big faults that I am a compulsive reader and when I start a book all I want to do is read and do nothing else.
