Since reading Ender’s Game, my husband recommended the companion book Ender’s Shadow by Orson Scott Card. I am not usually a scifi reader, but this series is less scifi and more about character development. The main characters, the kids, have complex backgrounds lending to their involved personalities. As the story progresses, the kids grow in […]
I finally got the book from the library that Elliot recommended. Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card. I must say, this author is pretty versatile. This book is very different from the one I read before.

It’s not the usual type of book that I like to read. I usually don’t read fantasy. But Elliot recommended Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card. Ender’s Game was not available at the library, so I picked up Treasure Box by the same author. It started out as a rather intriguing mystery. The set up […]
