The last three nights I’ve sat down to write my next post and have promptly fallen asleep before finishing a paragraph. Which is quite annoying, because I’m not more tired than normal (I don’t think) and I am very excited about these three books.
So in lieu of an actual post, given largely as proof of life, here’s a quick glance at what’s coming down the pike. Hopefully starting in 24 hours.
Who Killed the Fonz?
by James Boice
This is funny, heartfelt, a goofy idea, and a far better book than it has any right to be.
Rogue Superheroes
by Matt Cowper
This takes everything he did right in The World Savers and improves on it (at least a little) while continuing the story.
No Country for Old Gnomes
by Delilah S. Dawson and Kevin Hearne
Set in the same kingdom as Kill the Farmboy, and features (at least for a couple of pages) the same characters, but focuses on a new cast. I figured this was going to be almost as good as its predecessor, but it’s better in every way — better characters, better story, and more laughs. None of which I’d have thought likely.

I read the first Farm Boy… and thought it was a little too much. I’m looking forward to your full review of this new one!

I can see how Farm Boy could do that for some people (maybe me once or twice, too). I don’t see as many opportunities for that here.
But you’ve given me something to think about as I write…

I LOVED No Country for Old Gnomes!
I’ll possibly have my post up about it tomorrow (unless life gets in the way, ha ha!).

So it’s a race, eh? Just kidding, I’m shooting for Monday with that one

Ha ha ha! I can schedule mine to post Monday instead, if you like.
HCNewton
Just teasing.
Get yours up when you can. Maybe it’ll inspire me to stay awake and finish my own 🙂

Ha ha!
I look forward to reading your opinions of it.
