Random Updates On Books and Such
February 6th, 2008 by --KALEB NATION--
Super congratulations to Jeff Kinney, who happens to own the top two spots on the New York Times Bestseller list, his first book at number two and his latest one debuting at number 1. I know Jeff through slight acquaintance and attended his panel at the Texas Book Festival. Since I doubt he’ll brag about it I’ll do it for him, and point out that he’s six places above the National Book Award winner and has been up there for over 41 weeks.
On other news, I’m passing this around as something you should keep an eye on. The first book in this series is coming in March and already things are starting with their grassroots hype. I absolutely love the music on this site, and if it’s got anything to do with the feel of the book it’ll be spectacular. I emailed James Dashner, the author, and he is so excited about this book coming out. Once I get my hands on one I’ll write something up here.
Also, I just got word that my friend and bestselling author Kaza Kingsley has finished the third book in her series! As you read in my interview with her, the book will be called Erec Rex: The Search For Truth and continues the adventures of Erec on his journey to become king. Kaza will have all the latest news on it at her site. My site also had the honor of debuting the first word of the book as it stands now, which happened to be ‘It’.
As for me, I watched Pan’s Labyrinth last night and was captivated all the way through. I will write up a short review soon.

Dude, Kaleb, you are officially The Man. Thanks for the plug.
I just spent far too long browsing your website and blog. AMAZING! I’m very, very impressed.
Listen, you’ve definitely earned a free copy of my book. Email me your address and I’ll ship it out today. And I hope you like it!
And tell your friend Kaza that her books rock and I’d be happy to send her one, too.
Thanks again for the plug. Only 4 weeks until release day!

Pan’s Labyrinth was weird. Technically, it’s “Faun’s Labyrinth”, but it was a good movie anyway, if a little violent. The ending was stunning.
Definitely will check out the books you mentioned. You normally have good suggestions… By the way, have you checked out “Eighth Grade Bites” by Heather Brewer? Pretty good book - the sequel is set to be released in April.
