Roger Zelazny's Great Book of Amber
Great Book of Amber
by Roger Zelazny

This is by no means a new book, but for lovers of Science Fiction and Fantasy, it is hard to beat the Amber series.  I started to reread it in order to write this blurb...and almost didn't get back to the blurb.  There are ten books in the Amber series...and they are all gathered together in this one volume.  Roger Zelazny, author of Lord of Light is a Hugo and Nebula award winner master of Science Fiction.  There are many who say that the Amber series is one of the greatest fantasy series of books ever written.  Give it a try.

Coop:  A Family, a Farm, and the Pursuit of One Good Egg
by Michael Perry

Michael Perry wrote the wonderful book Population 485 and Truck, a Love Story, both non-fiction accounts of his life in a very small town as a writer, EMT and member of the community.  He has a great sense of humor about small town life and at the same time offers insightful looks at what "community" really means.  We've followed him from his move back home, his romance and marriage and now - we get a peek into his new family life.  Bound to be charming!









The Lion and the Mouse
by Jerry Pinkney

This is a beautifully illustrated telling of the classic tale of the lion who spared a mouse and a mouse who later saved the lions life.  There is karma in kindness according to this tale.  The tale is classic, but the illustrations are all new and earned the author the 2010 Caldecott award for his efforts.  It's truly beautiful.
