- Right now I'm working on the Song of Ice and Fire series - great stuff, though I'm only one book in (audiobook, at least). You can be sure I'll review that when I finish, and will review all the books I read from now on - great to share with the community!
Thanks for including my Imagineering book lens on this page, means a lot! :)

- There are a number of books on this list that I haven't read, and it seems to me it might be fun just to start at the top and read them all - that should take me a fair way into 2012 for reading material. :)

- What a wonderful surprise to wake up and see that my review of Amelia Earhart made the cut (I attribute it more to her amazing story versus my writing). Thank you again and congrats to all the other winners. I look forward to checking them all out.

- First I want to thank you for including my book review - Tipperary by Frank Delaney.
I want to read all of Frank Delaney's books. I have just started 'Ireland.' I am also listening to his series explaining 'Ulysses.' I tried to read that when I was in high school. Delaney makes it all so simple. Thanks again. Blessings.
