I’m looking for some good books for “the kid”. She’s 10 and she likes the fantasy genre. So far she has read all of the books from Rick Riordan (Percy Jackson universe and the first Kane Chronicles book). She’s also gone through the Alcatraz books from Brandon Sanderson, which she loved. I’ve tried getting her to read the Narnia series but she didn’t like it, the same for the Susan Cooper’s “The Dark is Rising” series.
So if you have any suggestions about books that you think that “the kid” would like, let me know by leaving a comment.

Well, the eastern seaboard got hit pretty badly with snow yesterday. Here is Brooklyn it wasn’t as bad as in other places like the Washington, DC area. According to one of my resellers and someone I follow on Twitter they got about 21 inches. From the look of things on my porch I’d say that we got about a foot but we may get more as it has started to snow again.
With the first snowfall of the year, Rivky is very excited and already went out on the porch several times to play in the snow. I have always liked watching the snow fall. It’s just the driving and getting around once the snow has fallen is a pain. With the way people drive during the snow you would think that they have forgotten how to drive. I also have two cars to clean off and that is a pain but at least I don’t have to shovel a walk or driveway since that gets handled by building management.
