In YA Fantasy News...
First, thanks to Megan for introducing me to Bookshelves of Doom! It's been incredibly useful so far; I've got Owl Service coming to me via Paperbackswap, with Dark Lord of Derkholm to follow, and I can't wait to dig in. Even though I wasn't a fan of The Dark is Rising sequence (blasphemy), my post-HP hopes for these are high.
BoD is also where I so very happily learned that Pullman is penning another novel, The Book of Dust, which will further explore the ideas presented in the His Dark Materials trilogy. I'll be breathlessly awaiting a release date on this one. Not that I'm planning on the film version of The Golden Compass being bad, but it's nice to know there's something to assuage coming down the pike if it is.
