12. Susan Cooper: King of Shadows
Ok YA fantasy in which a young boy actor is suddenly transported into Shakespeare's time and has to act in Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream. Nowhere near as captivating or magical as the Dark Is Rising series, but quite readable.
13. Bill Willingham, Mark Buckingham, David Hahn, Steve Leialoha: Fables: Homelands (graphic novel)
Yay, it finally arrived! I really love this series. In this collection Jack get into movie business in Hollywood and Boy Blue travels through Homelands to reach the Adversary.
The series' use of fairy tale characters is excellent and the stories occasionally fun and occasionally heartbreaking. I also like the artwork. I guess my favourite of the artists is Steve Leialoha, because I've always liked his work ever since I saw it in (I don't remember which was first) New Mutants or Star Wars (NM was probably first).
