Titles to Watch Out For A few new books will be on the shelves soon that are highly recommended. Watch for Daniel Waters new one Break My Heart 1000 Times. It is an unusual ghost story and both beautifully written and suspenseful. Check the linked blog The Militant Recommender at http://militantrecommender.blogspot. com/ for an exclusive interview with Daniel Waters and a more extensive review. This book was optioned for a film before it was even released! Another highly anticipated title is the sequel to Mike Mullins great debut Ashfall called Ashen Winter. That will also be released this month. These novels take place after the eruption of a supervolcano and the aftermath the survivors face. They are both gripping and visionary. Mr. Mullins was also interviewed on the Militant Recommender blog.
