E just finished reading Princess Academy by Shannon Hale. He has taken to visiting an author’s web site after completing each book if one is available. In this case one was, and we both thoroughly enjoyed (read: laughed out loud) Ms. Hale’s writing history.
PS: You are truly a homeschooler if you didn’t even blink when I mentioned my SON reading a book with “princess” in the title!
Jo said,A neat idea I came across once was having your child start a blog, email their favorite authors asking if they could interview them (just simple questions) via email, and then post the interviews on the blog.
The kids and I also enjoy just emailing the authors and telling them how much we love their books. The best part is when they email back! 
No I didn’t blink … I didn’t even really notice. I enjoyed Shannon Hale’s writing history too.

You know, I didn’t blink, and I’m not even a homeschooler. But I am a huge fan of Shannon Hale’s blog, so I think I was distracted by that.
