    It's not self-published, as far as I can tell. The only indication (for me in my limited experience) is a copyright to CreateSpace.

    All the same height. Hmmm. Oh well. It's a conversation piece for basically boring people like myself.

    But this is a great series and it is one of my favorite finds on GR.

    Finally, I received a trilogy I discovered on GoodReads. The first book was a GR giveaway win. The second and third books were given to me in PDF format by the author, but I have a l....just a hate/hate relationship with ebooks, so I bought them.

    Actually, theres aren't the books I bought. I liked the series so much that I asked the author for a PO Box to send my copies to for him to sign; but the author just sent me three signed copies. I was one of the first to review The Northern Star: The Beginning (who wasn't a friend or family member) and the author said that gave him the moral support to finish telling the tale.

    Cool!

    A recent book from CD:

    Another great cover from Vincent Chong (his Picking the Bones cover is still my favorite CD cover).

    And a stop at B&N yielded this:

    I haven't read To Kill a Mockingbird yet, but it's on my TBR.
