3D! -- The Icarus Hunt by Timothy Zahn

As another brief change of scene from the standard sketches-from-books, today I offer you a rough clay maquette of a book character -- Ixil (plus one of his outrider ferrets, Pax) from Timothy Zahn's The Icarus Hunt. 

The Icarus Hunt is one of my all-time-favorite books. You can bet that eventually I'll make a post with sketches from it!

Princess Academy by Shannon Hale (Princess Academy, Book 1)

   My brother took one look at this book and made a dismissive comment, something along the lines of "That is definitely not my kind of book."

  I laughed, because it does look pretty silly on the surface, but it's actually surprisingly engaging. In all fairness, he's probably right about it not being his kind of book. However, I found that despite my own doubts as to whether or not it would be my kind of book... I enjoyed it, and am interested in reading the next in the series.

  Sure, it's a book about a "princess academy", but it's also a book by SHANNON HALE, so who cares if the premise sounds silly?

The Truce at Bakura by Kathy Tyers

Luke tries to teach Eppie Belden how to heal her own mind

The Ties That Bind by Jude Watson (Jedi Apprentice Series, Book 14)

  Qui-Gon reached inside the pocket of his robe. "And he reminded me of something important."
  "A clue?"
  He handed Obi-Wan a pastry he had plucked from Manex's tray on the way out. "Even in the middle of a mission, don't neglect to taste the pastries."
