The Pigeon Hole #3

Hey everyone; it’s Dusty here with a small Pigeon Hole post. This is kind of a Christmas warm up, because boy am I expecting a haul for Christmas! There’s only one book today, but I hope it’s one you’d like a review of. It may not be huge, but it’s in my bookcase now; here we go!

I Am Number Four – Pittacus Lore

 This was more of a surprise to receive than anything, but a perfectly nice surprise. My father was offered this as part of an EBay deal and he jumped at the chance to get me this. Boy, I love my dad! He gets me the best things!

I Am Number Four details the story of John Smith, an alien hiding on Earth. When more of his species are murdered by an anonymous force, John knows he is next and moves to Paradise, Ohio, but acknowledges he cannot run forever.

Although it’s been around for a while and spawned two sequels, I haven’t read this book yet but I’m really excited to. It has an interesting premise and sounds like a great sci-fi mystery to sink my teeth into. I’m in the middle of my Popular Author run, so a review of this will probably up next year, so look out for that.

There are just a few things left to cover in this post, but they won’t take long. The first is split into two parts; I’d like to thank those of you who have followed me or consistently looked at my blog; so Angharad, Martyn, Kika, Lauren, Debra from Debra’s Book Café and Kelly and David from over at YA Book Reads, you guys are awesome and thank you. You guys keep me going when the stats are low and I feel this is all pointless. You guys rock; I’d also like to thank Will for always taking the time out of your immensely busy schedule to have look at my blog; you’re great too.

   The second part of this post is that I have been asked to be a reviewer for YA Book Reads! This is a huge honour and although my blog will remain my number one priority about two or three reviews a month will hopefully be going up on Kelly and David’s website, so go over and check them out now if you haven’t. It’s a fantastic site home to some of the best bloggers in the blogosphere oh, and me!

The last part of this post, to wrap to the early festivities, is that I’m going to commence a continuous event on my blog through from either Christmas night or Boxing Day on to New Years Day called the Twelve Days of Christmas Haul. This is an extended Pigeon Hole post detailing the books I receive for Christmas over a couple of days so that a huge ugly post isn’t taking up the whole of my home page. If anyone else would like to take part, that would make me smile! Okay, my review of Paper Towns will be up within the next two days so that’s something to look forward to; until then keep those jackets dusty and keep a book in your lap. Bye!

Dusty :]
