Reading Journal Entry 1: The Once and Future King

You know, that's one that I still haven't read. I finally got a chance to drive the hour and fifteen minutes to Barnes and Noble yesterday only to find that they didn't have three of the books I need / want to finish before May.

The book does some of the things I'm looking to do, though, about making an alternate future where things seem similar, but are very different in some respects. I don't want anyone who actually reads my stories to have this many problems understanding them, though.

I received Jay Asher's "Thirteen Reasons Why" from my library on Friday and finished it the same day. *THAT* is going into my list of messed up books. But I'm sure we'll all talk it to death in June, so I guess I will have to wait until then.
