Hello everybody and welcome new members! I know it's been a while, but I've decided to assass- I mean, to step up in some areas during ~Lefting's absence. Hope everybody's had a good start to 2010.
Any and all reviews are welcome, if you have any questions feel free to ask either myself (~gfresh06) or ~Lefting and we'll help you out.
While I have the spotlight:
We have a whole year ahead of us in 2010 (pronounced "two oh-ten"), and as such, I'm trying something new. Those who've only been following my book reviews might soon notice that upcoming reviews are much more in depth and interesting (at least, I hope so) than my previous reviews. For the months of January and February Two Oh Ten, I'm putting out a call for all readers to send me video clips to use in my reviews! Any clip you've got, be it a video game, webshow, movie, go ahead as long as it's highly quotable, well known, or has some other similar comedic or other value. No longer than 30 seconds, and even that's really pushing it (I'd prefer to keep them under 10). The clips I've added so far can be found here. You're free to cut down or improve clips I've found, but please no duplicates. You probably won't get any credit, but I may eventually do something. This is strictly charity- consider it a Wiki Review Project.
Please send any submissions to gfresh06@gmail.com or note them to me (~gfresh06) instead of to the group, I appreciate it.About Us

Title: The Child Thief
Author: Brom
Genre: Fantasy
First Published: 2009
Blurb: In the dusk of that early autumn day the child thief peered out from the shadows and falling leaves to watch the children play. The children scaled the giant green turtle, slid down the bright yellow slide, laughed, yelled, teased and chased one another round and round. But the child thief wasn’t interested in these happy faces. He wasn’t looking to steal just any child. He was particular. He was looking for the sad face, the loner…a lost child. And the older the better, preferably a child of thirteen or fourteen, for older children were stronger, had better stamina, tended to stay alive longer.
