\"\"<\/a>Sure there’s been lots of fuss over\u00a0 the weekend about\u00a0\u00a0the finale of some wizard by the name of Harry Potter, but if\u00a0 you heartbroken Harry Potter fans are\u00a0looking to discover a fantasy series\u00a0 <\/a>to feed your souls, well, let me recommend\u00a0 film critic\/blogger\/author Jeffrey Overstreet’s “Auralia Thread ” series<\/a>. The mythical saga starts with outcast Auralia\u00a0 who lives in a colorless kingdom called Abascar\u00a0 and winds up with the fascinating character of the ale boy finding a shred of hope to save humanity.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0 entire series is loaded with\u00a0 bold,\u00a0magical images and\u00a0other wordly\u00a0creatures that have tinges of Christian allegory in them but the spiritual themes are so much broader than that.\u00a0\u00a0 I can’t imagine a better book series to fall in love with this summer if you are\u00a0 fantasy fiction buff – and even if you are not.( I can’t say I read much fantasy fiction and I love this series!)<\/p>\n

\u00a0The series has four books in it and I will be giving away two complete \u00a0sets to two readers this week in a random drawing. Just send me an email at readmymindbooks@gmail.com<\/a>\u00a0 with your snail mail address by this Friday at 5 EST.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
