Who knew there were so many books featuring glass blowing?<br /><br />Jess-I liked reading about it too since it's something I don't know much about. And I liked how it was incorporated in these books.GreenBeanTeenQueenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08708155058381407531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6075890361193230583.post-35269493391957446912012-08-10T21:27:57.546-05:002012-08-10T21:27:57.546-05:00I've read both Graffiti Moon and Sisters of Gl...I've read both Graffiti Moon and Sisters of Glass and found the glass blowing to me amazing attributes! Although Sisters was written in prose I enjoyed the glass blowing aspect immensely.<br /><br />I hope to read more books that include it.

I don't think my mood will necessarily dictate what genre I read but I won't read dark or "heavy" books if I'm feeling happy; it might bring me down.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.comamosalgo.com" rel="nofollow">Comida a domicilio</a>BroddyAdamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11406565356841813318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6075890361193230583.post-29363158816785574692012-07-30T20:22:05.471-05:002012-07-30T20:22:05.471-05:00I love glass blowing (or any sort of glass craftin...I love glass blowing (or any sort of glass crafting, really) in books!

I didn't have time to go in and regretted it, having always been fascinated by it. So, it's cool that you noticed this trend. I read Cath Crowley's book and want to get Tanita's book.<br />There's also Storm Glass by Maria Snyder.LinWashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13041832821260168483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6075890361193230583.post-54754791563112191542012-07-30T08:17:58.852-05:002012-07-30T08:17:58.852-05:00The only time I've ever seen glass blowing use...The only time I've ever seen glass blowing used in YA was during a medieval fantasy story where they worked as glass blowers.
