Finished the sixth (and last?) King and Maxwell book by David Baldacci earlier in the week. It's been an entertaining political thriller series. Started the "Young Wizards" series by Diane Duane. A couple kids find out they are wizards, take the oath and much mayhem ensues. I'm well into the third book (ten so far) and they've been quite entertaining.
No, it's not a Harry Potter knock-off. The first one was published in 1983, well before J. K. Rowling even started writing.

The "Young Wizards" books were tremendous fun. Checked the fourth book of the "Falling Kingdoms" books off my to read list along with "The Woman Who Wouldn't" by Gene Wilder. I never thought I'd ever say I'm looking forward to reading a romance, but I can't wait to get into the rest of his books. They are sooooo good.

And more than a month later, I see this post. 
I'm doing really well. I keep pretty busy. How're you and the family?

Is there a novelization available or is it the script?

It would appear to be the script form. Quite an interesting read, nonetheless.

I keep hoping she'll novelize it. I'm not a fan of reading scripts.

Me either, but my daughter wanted the book for her birthday, so we bought it. She's already reading three other books at the moment so I asked if I could read this one first.
Honestly, if you aren't a fan of books in script form, it will probably be hard to get into.

They're getting big. Don't have any babies anymore, sadface. Good to have you back.
