The end of the world has come a great evil walks the land. There is but one girl who can stop it. Her name is Swan.

Swan Song is often compared to Stephen King's The Stand, but I have never felt the books share more than the end of the world theme, though both novels are excellent. The characters in Swan Song are very vibrant and alive. I still remember the first time I finished this book and how amazed I was at its greatness. In 1988 it won a well-deserved Bram Stoker Award for Best Novel. Excellent book; highly recommended.

What’s a bookray and how does it work?

A bookring is when a book passes from person to person based on the list of members involved. A bookring book is never released into the wild since it should end up back with the person who registered it. A bookray works exactly like a bookring except the book is never returned to the original owner. Much like a paper ray of sunshine, the book travels forever.

To join this bookray (or any other bookring/ray of mine) please private message me and include your location and shipping preference (US only, international, etc.). I will be glad to add you to the list. New members are added all of the time so be sure to check the list of participants before you mail the book to the next in line just in case it's changed since you got the book.

Once you are a bookray member, you will receive the book from the person listed before you. When you receive the book please make a journal entry stating that you’ve received it. Then read it as soon as you can (no absolute hurry, just be reasonable please), and journal again with your thoughts, ideas, or opinions on it. You’ll then need to private message the person on the list after you for their address. Mail the book by media mail (it’s cheaper!) and make a release note so that we can track it. Then sit back and watch the journey continue!

The members are as follows (mailing order will change as new participants are added):

  • MsPooh (Round Rock, Texas - US only)
  • jbandwb (Wichita, Kansas - US only)
  • pumpkyn (Huntington Beach, California - US only)

Thanks for this ray. Will read as soon as possible and send on.


~~~Ok, I tried. But I had a hard time getting into this. So, rather than hold it up to keep trying, I am going to pass it on to the next ray participant.
