The Sending
on November 2nd, 2011 at 5:54 pm
Hi All,
Just a quick one to let you all know that the book I have been waiting for (and mentioning in previous posts with whiny, childish ‘are we there yet’ frequency) is HERE! Isobelle Carmody’s The Sending hit bookstores recently to much excitement from those of us now alarmingly entering the ‘mid-to-late-twenties’ age bracket. I am just going off to start reading it now, so no reports yet – I’ll let you know!
For those of you who haven’t read or haven’t heard of Isobelle Carmody’s Obernewtyn Chronicles I would highly recommend them. A great Australian post-apocalyptic fantasy/sci-fi series (what a mouthful!) with a bit of everything: romance, adventure, breathtaking landscapes, talking animals.You can also buy the first book in the series for $9.95 in the Popular Penguin format. Be warned though – this saga could be neverending and the later books have Harry Potter Bloat: ie they are about ten times thicker than the first one. I kind of like that though
