This made me laugh

I read this on the BBC http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7053982.stm and I loved the quote

"Oh, my god," Rowling, 42, concluded with a laugh, "the fan fiction".

I checked and you can get The Weirdstone on Amazon. It's set in a place called Alderly Edge which is near me in the UK. It's now the home of the rich (the Beckhams had a house there when he played for Man U) but it's also an old village with a lot of legends. The author took a local legend about King Arthur spun it out and wove in a load of celtic magic.

I read a review of the Candle of distant Earth and it sounds interesting. Weirdly I don't read much sci-fi (except SGA andom).

I think I'm glad you stopped with the Civil War Christain Teenage Romance :-)

I too am glad I stopped with the romance, lol!

I read the SGA books that they write, they're not too bad, pretty good. :)

Weirdstone sounds like a great book, it definitely sounds like my type of book, hmm, I'm going to order the next SGA book in November on Amazon, I think I'll pick that one up too :)

Cool!

I just hope you enjoy it now that I raved about it so much :-)

I've recommended it to adults before and they've enjoyed it so I don't think it's just about reading at the right age.

Which SGA book should I start on? I've never read any before.

There's seven all together with the eighth coming in Nov. They follow the show somewhat, you can read em out of order, but it's easier to read them in order because a few of them reference things that have happened in the show. :)

I'm totally going to order that book! :)
