Top Ten Tuesday: Most Owned Authors

This week's topic is Most Owned Authors - and I confess, this list would have been different a month ago, but I did a purge of some books and gave some to the library as my bookshelves were overflowing. Also the list only accounts for the books currently in my collection and now any that are currently being read by others.

Review: The Necromancer

Sophie and Josh return home, unsure what to tell their Aunt about their adventures of the past few days. They certainly can’t tell her the truth. As they walk up the road, they notice a car outside the house.

Curious and hesitant, they approach the car. A woman exits and they believe it’s someone they know. However, almost too late, they realize it’s an identical twin. Sophie ends up kidnapped and Josh left scrambling behind.

In order to save his sister, he travels back to the start of their adventure, the Flamels. Once he confides in them, they quickly follow after Sophie.

The Flamels don’t have much time and they have already decided to fight before things spiral too far out of control, even though it might be the last thing they accomplish. They find Sophie and those watching over her. Together, they come up with a plan of attack.

Before they can accomplish their goals, they request someone to awake the fire powers in Josh. He readily agrees to the plan, already feeling inferior to his twin.

However, the Flamels didn’t consider Dr. Dee in their planning. While his masters aren’t pleased with his failures, Dr. Dee always has a plan. This plan includes taking over the world, but he needs Josh in order to set his plan in motion. Will Josh cross over to the other side and leave his twin and the Flamels behind?

My Thoughts: The fourth book in this wonderful series won’t disappoint fans with its magic, history, mythology, clever characters, evil plots, and strong sibling bonds. THE SECRETS OF THE IMMORTAL NICHOLAS FLAMEL is addicting and will leave readers on the edge of their seats.

The Cover: Awesome, I love these covers

Where I gave it the:

Saw: Michael Scott

On Saturday, I traveled to Madison to visit RJ Julia Booksellers

where I saw Michael Scott of The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel series Fame

where he read the the latest novel: The Sorceress and answered questions.

Some cool things he said:

1. A book is really one Big fat lie
2. Readers become writers
3. Scents and colors from the magic gives your a visionary but more importantly smell to connect with the characters
4. It's a 6 book series (Somewhere I thought it was a 5 book series, so that makes me wicked happy)
5. He came up with the concept and then outlines all 6 books
6. All the characters (except for Sophie and Josh) are all real characters from history and you can research them
7. Flamel wasn't the original hero, Dr. Dee might have been except that Scott went to this house:

and it changed his mind a little.

Here we are together after he signed my books

and here's a READ poster I made:


and if you want to know more about the series, here's the book trailer I made for the first book (which is actually our middle school book club pick for November)

Cover Revealed

Pretty huh?
Already looking forward to this even though it doesn't come out until April...

Sorceress (www.teensreadtoo.com)

Sophie and Josh are still on their whirlwind adventure. They’ve moved from Paris, leaving confusion and disaster in their midst, and are traveling to London. When they arrive in London, they’ve been noticed and are being tailed.Dr. Dee is still after the twins. However, the stakes have been raised. With them both awakened, he doesn’t need Nicholas Flamel alive. He also needs to find the twins fast without letting them slip away again or his master will inflict terrible consequences upon him. Meanwhile, his partner in crime, Machiavelli, heads to the island of Alcatraz to finish off the Sorceress. His master’s also concerned about the number of failures in regards to capturing the twins and the Flamels.
Time is of the essence to seize both the twins and to open the doors between worlds. Plus, every hour the Flamels grow weaker and older. Can they hold together and combine their strength to fight off the evil beings?

Michael Scott blends mystery, fantasy, and history perfectly together into an adrenaline-filled, action-packed, fast-paced, addicting novel in THE SECRETS OF THE IMMORTAL NICHOLAS FLAMEL series. I LOVE this series!
