Being invisible is a good thing, as a writer. :o) And yes...I think it was reading HUNGER GAMES for me too, in which I was totally caught up in the story. Nice. Because usually I get bumped out by those adverbs & info dumps, etc.Carol Riggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14092209912983783974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3647218177948670695.post-19348662939694121322011-07-14T18:42:04.492-04:002011-07-14T18:42:04.492-04:00It's been a while.

I just love her work. And for YA, probably ENDER'S GAME, which isn't a recent book, but which I read recently. Amazing, amazing, amazing.
