I just LOVE his books on the Civil War- his 2nd book, "Up From Corinth: Book 2 of Journey Into Darkness" is amazing! I will try to work on narrowing down my next 4 top choices. This is so much fun!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.upfromcorinth.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.upfromcorinth.com/</a> Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05957358850375701366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345948308406299194.post-88285125636621328742012-10-18T22:17:45.777-04:002012-10-18T22:17:45.777-04:00Yes to fantasy authors (except for Stiefvater)!Yes to fantasy authors (except for Stiefvater)!Maria @ bookchillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08668053649885776470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345948308406299194.post-25335191233746854622012-10-17T17:46:10.916-04:002012-10-17T17:46:10.916-04:00I love Maggie Stiefvater as well!
