I just bought Writing Down The Bones. Amazon had a sample few pages, and it was very interesting what she had to say. So I bought it for $4.99. That is, 1.00 + 3.99 shipping. Great deal if you ask me.

As for what I've read, I only have one thing:

Looking Glass Wars by Frank Beddor.

I'm currently working through Wizard's First Rule by Terry Goodkind.
