Of course, I was choosing the first ones in series as introductions to those series.<BR/><BR/>One of the ways readers choose readalikes is by finding a new author and looking at what else the author has written. The other books by Karen Hancock can be found that way; I had a hard decision whether to introduce her series or Arena; I think I went with Arena because I had so many beginnings of series on my list and I wanted to vary series and standalone titles.<BR/><BR/>About the Wilderking trilogy - I did consider The Bark of the Bog Owl when making my list, but I just liked the other ones better. I had enjoyed reading the book very much - partly because I chose it by its cover (without reading all the inside front cover) and found the story strong – then started to recognize it was like the story of David. I liked having an "in" to the story's ending…<BR/><BR/>I came across The Legend of the Firefish (Trophy Chase trilogy book 1) in my search, but I thought it was another book, The Lampfish of Twill, which I didn't remember as being a Christian fantasy novel (and I didn't like it too much) so I didn't look into it further. I just started to read it yesterday and it looks to be a well-written story.<BR/><BR/>The others I hadn't heard of, but they're making their way onto my "want to read" list.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the extra suggestions!<BR/><BR/>Rebekah (#3)<BR/><BR/>@cleigh - cool promo. I'll have to look into your book as well.RiverRunner22https://www.blogger.com/profile/05229847218779658575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-522319810296642659.post-91262912972428872812008-05-06T07:50:00.000-05:002008-05-06T07:50:00.000-05:00Sorry about all the deletes.
