Beyond the Wand: The Magic & Mayhem of Growing Up a Wizard - Tom Felton

 An interesting read. A very kind and honest look behind the scenes of a young actor without all the ego. It was interesting and I'd recommend it for Harry Potter fans.

Side note: looks like Tom is a sub. "All of a sudden, there was a rigorous structure to my day. I realized that I'd missed that. Throughout my childhood, on the Harry Potter set, I'd had structure imposed upon me without really knowing it. I was told when to turn up, where to stand, where to look, what to say.  There is something calming about that kind of certainty." lol

Old School - Tobias Wolff

 This is a book written for literary types by a literary type. A whole story about writing full of unconventional words. It's ok, but I wouldn't recommend it, nor would I give it an award, but apparently some think otherwise. 

A Torch Against the Night - Sabaa Tahir (Ember in the Ashes, Bk. 2)

 I'm not in love with this series, but it still kept me guessing a few times and I like that. I'd still recommend this series for the fantasy lover. 

The Getaway God - Richard Kadrey (Sandman Slim, Bk. 6)

 The more of these I read, the more I love them. I highly recommend this series for anyone who loves a gritty, wild ride.  This book smacks hard of Hellblazer, if John Constantine were a Nephilim. I love the author's quips and how he gives the MC a "fuck-all" attitude within reason, not just randomly doing stupid shit like so many lesser writers.
