You know what just made my day?

I just found out that Orson Scott Card is planning to write 2 more books that will go into the Ender's Game/Ender's Shadow series. The first to be releaseed will be a prequel to Speaker for the Dead, which means that it'll feature Ender during his travels while he was still relatively young. Awesome!

The second will wrap up a lot of loose ends left from Shadow of the Giant but it will pick up the story from where Children of the Mind left off. I am so glad I bought the Ender's Game quartet and re-read all of them. I've gotten over my strong dislike for the Valentine/Peter children and now I've settled on tolerating/somewhat liking them. If I can read more about Ender!Peter and if his life collides again with Bean's (or Bean-children's), I'm sure I can get more and more attached to these characters.

I somewhat dread the Ender's Game movie. There are so many ways to ruin the story and it would only be so easy to do so.
