From DR Laura:QuoteI am totally lost. I see the terms have been explained.DR Jennifer, I do enjoy YA & would like to read more of it than I do.The term dystopian is a new for me & I'm not sure I've read any YA books that fit it. I've read adults ones that do.
I am totally lost.
Quote from: Jrand61 on March 28, 2012, 06:08:50 AMI ordered the two CD's, so I guess I won't be getting my book for awhile.....I shall wait.Not being clear here - your book went out yesterday with the others - only people who ordered book and CDs in ONE order have to wait. You made two separate orders - one for the book, one for the CDs.

But it is the main ereader in Canada and popular in some other parts of the world.There is a huge Kobo store. Kobos ae what are huge bookchain CHAPTERS sells. They are everywhere here.Although like I said I really do not know how many people in the US use them.I have a friend with a Kobo who will be pleased to note that they are tied to a successful chain. She was worried about support if she ever needed it. I've not heard of Kobo nor Chapters.

When does the new TITANIC miniseries by the writer of DOWNTON ABBEY start here in the colonies?

DR Jane I am not sure if it is only these new YA books that are labelled as dysopian. But it is only in the last few years that i have heard this term. If you want I can recommend a few that i have loved. You could always read the descriptions and see if they sound good to you. They are mostly trilogies though.
I had a lovely time discussing SARAH'S KEY at the library where my career began almost 39 years ago. Sitting next to me was the last-remaining staff member hired by me and she's retiring at the end of June. Sort of a funny feeling...

It's a classic that's taught here in many high schools about a stranded group of boys who set up their own society and watch it disintegrate into violence and animalistic behavior.
I've had very little time to read or post messages because recording sessions followed by dinner leave hardly any spare time (it's late at night now). Tomorrow features choral recordings and in the evening I will be catching a flight back to London. Weather in Prague has been fantastically good but the forecast is for cooler weather and rain tomorrow.
DR Laura I forget to check your blog though I always enjoy going to it. Thank you for the reminder.http://www.andthisiswhatisawtoday.blogspot.com/
