Welcome to Gaia! ::

This series by Garth Nix is set in the days of the week. Mister Monday starts off with Arthur a boy from our time and place is dying from asthma. He is given one seventh of the key and gets better, he is then transported to a house where god (in the book she is called the architect) keeps all the written records of all the lives of all the people in all the worlds. The House was suppossed to be run by a mortal but the days of the week became corrupted each by one of the 7 deadly sins and refuse to help find a mortal to run the house.

Mister Monday is sloth

I like this series a bit dark for the age group that it's directed at (fourth- eighth) but most of Garth Nix's books are dark. I think that it's fun to try to find the connections between the book and what I know of the bible, I don't know much, but it's interesting with what I do know. Combining christianity with nordic celtic and english folklore and poetry (you get to met the sailor who killed the albatross) this series is sure to delight

Have you read them yet? will you?

Did you like them?

Wow, that sounds really cool. I've only read one book by Garth Nix, Sabriel, and I remember I really enjoyed it. I don't know why I haven't picked up more of his books.

I actually like how he does that with each day. Thought it was interesting and i never really realized it until i wiki'd the series. I think Monday or Tuesday was greed? I haven't read the books in so long sweatdrop
