	Eleganta: A novel of Fairykind by: Denny Swartzlander published: 2009-01-04 ASIN: B001OW608E sales rank: 4927	Enter the 9th century, a time of magic and mystery. On a hidden isle in the seas near England, a young fairy named Ethywyne Eleganta secretly gives birth to the first youngling in fourteen years. She and her child become the hunted prize of the wicked troll general Sunderin. Ethywyne must make the perilous journey across the Fairy Realms, to get her child to the Fairy Queen, the only one who can protect her from the shadow that seeks to destroy all of Fairykind. Her experience takes her from a humble life of gardening and craft-making to the center of an adventure that grows to involve fickle goblins, giant ogres, magic fairy dust, thieving pixies, an enchanted hedge maze, and even Vikings of the Norse lands who happen upon the isle in their plundering voyages. This book is intended for a young adult audience, aged 12 and up. However, anyone who treasures fantasy and imagination will wildly enjoy this novel. Reader reviews for Eleganta: A novel of Fairykind From Amazon.com: 5.0 out of 5 stars a wonderful find, March 15, 2009 By Amanda Fitch- “I loved this book. It is too bad that it has not had any exposure. I read twilight before this book and that one was not nearly as good.” Emails to the author: Sent: Fri 2/20/09 4:14 PM: "Hello Mr. Swartzlander, I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed Eleganta. It was so much better than the Lord of the Rings trilogy, mostly because hobbits are fictional and fairies are not. It was much more exciting reading and I immersed myself into it completely. Your descriptions of nature the fairies soaked up felt like I was there with them. But, I have to know what happened to Ethywyne. What became of Preen? Please tell me you're writing the sequel. I can't stand the suspense. Thanks so much, Jason G." Sent: Sun 5/03/09 12:10 AM: "I absolutely loved it! The characters and details are enchanting. My 14 year old is reading it now. I caught him up at 2am last night reading. It's really hard to discipline a teenager -- especially a BOY -- for staying up late to read. lol. He has already asked me if there is a 2nd book. I let him know you are already working on one. He says his favorite part so far is the imagery is excellent. We are definitely looking forward to your next novel! good luck and thank you for such an excellent book! Jenn V." Sent: July 18, 2009 5:01 pm: "IT WAS AMAZING!!!!!! Seriously, I loved it! Soooooooo well done! So suspenseful and exciting! I love your descriptions and I totally have pictures in my mind of how things, places and the creatures look. I think Eleganta definitely has the potential to be a best seller. For real. And I can see how you could do a whole series, which I certainly hope you are planning on! Have you started the next because I can't wait to read it!!" Carissa B. Sent June 28, 2009, 9:42 pm: "I don't believe i've read any adult fantasy books ever, but i really enjoyed this one. congratulations on a story well done. of course you've left me wondering about the woman w/ child, this new queen fae, and ethywyne...which i'm hoping you'll pass along to me in the future." -jk From lulu.com: Reads well out loud! 24 Dec 2008 (updated 24 Dec 2008) by Eugene Ross "My wife read me this book on our long commute to work over a couple of weeks, and I loved it! I was in suspense often as the heroes faced strange and marvelous challenges. The writing was well done as the story really came to life as it was being read out loud. It's really not a child's story as I thought it might be. It will be enjoyed by readers of all ages. I will definitely buy the sequel!!! ER" 24 Dec 2008 (updated 24 Dec 2008) "This is an amazing story that keeps you interested often at the edge of your seat. Eleganta pulls the reader into a magic land of assorted mythical characters with very original and creative plot twists. I enjoyed the book and would recommend it to anyone who loves a great story."

	UR by: Stephen King publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio, published: 2010-02-16 ASIN: 1442303093 sales rank: 17845 price: $7.79 (new), $8.18 (used)	FIRST TIME ON AUDIO... An Unabridged Novella Unavailable In Any Collection! Tapping into our primal fears of modern technology that made Cell a #1 bestseller, Stephen King sets his sights on the latest high-tech gadget in UR, in which a mysterious e-book reader opens a disturbing window into other worlds. Reeling from a painful break-up, English instructor and avid book lover Wesley Smith is haunted by his ex-girlfriend's parting shot: "Why can't you just read off the computer like everyone else?" He buys an e-book reader out of spite, but soon finds he can use the device to glimpse realities he had never before imagined, discovering literary riches beyond his wildest dreams...and all-too-human tragedies that surpass his most terrible nightmares. From vintage cars (Christine and From a Buick 8) to household appliances (Maximum Overdrive) to exercise equipment (Stationary Bike), Stephen King has mesmerized us with tales of apparently ordinary machines that take on lives of their own. UR gives this classic theme an up-to-the-minute spin, resulting in a horror masterpiece for our time and for the ages.
