This week's question:
What is the book you are currently 'pushing' (as in trying to get people to read it)?

The Thief by Megan Whalen Turner - After Gen's bragging lands him in the king's prison, the chances of escape look slim.  Then the king's scholar, the magus, needs the thief's skill for a seemingly impossible task - to steal a hidden treasure from another land.  To the magus, Gen is just a tool.  But Gen is a trickster and a survivor with a plan of his own.

The Ranger's Apprentice series by John Flanagan - They have always scared him in the past—the Rangers, with their dark cloaks and shadowy ways.  The villagers believe the Rangers practice magic that makes them invisible to ordinary people.  And now 15-year-old Will, always small for his age, has been chosen as a Ranger's apprentice.  What he doesn't yet realize is that the Rangers are the protectors of the kingdom.  Highly trained in the skills of battle and surveillance, they fight the battles before the battles reach the people.  And as Will is about to learn, there is a large battle brewing.  The exiled Morgarath, Lord of the Mountains of Rain and Night, is gathering his forces for an attack on the kingdom.  This time, he will not be denied.

I am about to begin reading Angelfire by Courtney Allison Moulton to review on the blog, as well as Choker by Elizabeth Woods for the 2011 Debut Author Challenge.
Welcome to all of the new faces, and welcome back to the old ones!

    Hi, I'm visiting from the book blog hop. I liked Shiver. I still need to pick up Linger. I recently read Lament, one of her fey books, and really enjoyed it.

    Stopping by from the hop. I really liked Shiver, Linger and her other book Lament as well. I want to her other book Ballad when I get some time.
