Fantastic start to the year Kerry! And congrats on completing the Big Book Challenge so quickly! Out of interest, are you still going to read Ship of Destiny anyway?

I'm hoping that with my new "don't stress about the numbers" reading plan for 2010, I'll get to a few of those "big books" on my list.

Specifically, I still hope to read "Ship of Destiny" and "The Summer Queen" this year.

Please take a look at, consider, a new novel by Robert Renfield, entitled 2034. A post-apocalytic story of boys' adventure, action, and intrigue. Available at all the major online retail bookstores. Also, see my new blog at http://robertrenfield.blogspot.com

Thank you,
