Astonishing close-up photographs of spectacular birds from the most beautiful and exotic to those some might call "ugly." What they all are is fascinating.

	Fledgling by Butler, Octavia E. Format:  Trade Paperback Price:  $13.99 Published: Warner Books, 2007 Inventory Status: Usually Ships in 1-5 days   See all editions of this title. Yes, another vampire book. This time a very UNTwilight and UNTrue Blood story. Shori is a vampire lady, and the world created by Octavia Butler is more sci-fi than Gothic romance. I was utterly fascinated by Shori’s self discovery and the family she creates for herself. And she’s pretty feisty, too. ~ recommended August, 2009
