    Revolution was my favorite book read last year (very late last year, but hey, it counts)! I must read some Cinda Williams chima - I have The Wizard Heir but haven't read it and I hear such great things about her writing. Do you have a favorite I should start with? The Water Wars was on my must list but I'm waiting for a few more reviews before I go buy it, I'll keep an eye out for yours. Thanks for stopping by Read It, See It and Happy Reading!
