I read Atha by Michaela Atienza. And it was really really good. That was before our computer got its memory obliviated; I'm sorry I wasn't able to read the others. I started a bit on The God Equation (because the title was pretty cool). I'm not sure, but I think the first few lines opened up to the setting of a crime scene. Since it was a little technical (um, basic technical terms used in investigations) and I wasn't concentrating properly, I opted to read it for another day when my mind wasn't rearranging words to form gibberish. I also took a look at Hika Girl's Adventures. It was... quite different, unique. It was simple enough to understand, weird, fascinating; I do think it would appeal to those people who liked Coraline, because it was also something that ran in that direction (you know, the darker side to a child's imagination and all that). Again, I didn't look at the others apart from that. The pdf took more than a little while to download. I do think the pdf versions of these entries can still be found at the FullyBooked site, if you click around long enough. Read some, and be inspired.
