Books and Books and Books

WARNING: This is about books! BE PREPARED!


So right now I'm looking for books to read, cuz I'm reading a lot, and so far, it's not working too well. These next few paragraphs will probably tell you why. 


Wingfeather Saga

Right now I have them lent out to one of my good friends. I haven't had them for a long time, but she is going to be done with them soon, and I will get them back! Yay! I am still waiting patiently (not) for the last book to be released of it. I only have a few moths left (I hope) till I can get and read the awesome conclusion to the Wingfeather Saga. 

I am STILL tired of waiting, but I'll spare you my latest ranting.

Door Within Trilogy

I have told you some about this awesome trilogy, I know. But I haven't told you that we have the last two books, but not the first one, and so I haven't read them in a while, right? Well, I finally broke down and started the second one two nights ago. I'm almost done with the third one. BUT! We ordered the first one from Amazon! It should get here sometime soon! It should be (I hope) only a week or two until I get the first one (and read them all again!)

The Dragon Keeper Chronicles

I mentioned in my post "My favorite things" that dragons were among my top favorite mythical creatures. This book series is why. The author, Donita K. Paul, portrays dragons as the main character's pets, the good guys. The main character, Kale, is a Dragon Keeper, finder of eggs. She finds eggs and hatches them. She has 'minor dragons' about the size of a large kitten, riding dragons, big enough to ride, and major dragons, the ones that help fight (only when the time comes).

Books in general (and why they're hard to find)

Well, it just so happens that I'm kind of a *picky reader (if that makes sense). Our library remodeled, and happened to "lose" about 3/4 of their books, and the 1/4 they're replacing, they're replacing with junk about zombies and stupid stuff like that. So I can't find books there very well. I will admit that I found a start of a very good trilogy there, but no other books of the trilogy.

Books at our house in our library, well, they're old, but most of them are good, but I don't want to read most of them. The Enola Holmes Mysteries (another good series), I started the series of 6, but then we started listening to them on CD and I wanted to listen to them with my family. That takes them out of the question.

As for the Dragon Keeper chronicles, I have all of them and I haven't lent them out, so you might be wondering why I don't read those. The answer: I read them two weeks ago.

Why I am reading so much right now

I'm trying not to spend so much time on the computer, so I am filling my time with books. I am also a very fast reader, so I don't ever linger on a book for long. I'm trying to find books that interest me, but so far I have three series/trilogies: Door Within, Wingfeather, and Dragon Keeper.


Please comment if you know any good books you think I should look into and read!




*Picky reader: I read adventure books, books like the Wingfeather saga, the Door Within Trilogy, and whatnot. Some books I just find... well, not of my interest.

More Books... Heh heh heh

Ok, so if you have been keeping up with my blog, you remember my posts about the Wingfeather Saga. I said I wouldn't post anymore till Mustang and her mom finished reading the series. You also might have noticed, if you are the type to read comments, that Mustang and her mom finished the last book the day I posted the fact that I wouldn't say anymore until they finished it.

Now that it is later,and I haven't read them in a while, I have even more opinions about these books.  *Clears throat*  Here we go!

 First of all, I don't think they should ever let someone with a British accent read  "The Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness" aloud ever again. Not that he did a bad job, it was, however, rather weird to hear Nia, Leeli, Janner, and Tink with British accents. He did things differently and said character or animal names, hmmm, quite differently..

Second, I have currently read all three books at least 7 times and I STILL can't believe that ___________ was a ______________, or that _______________ betrayed them, or that he did end up ___________ _________ off.

Third, and you had to know it was coming: Andrew Peterson, you better get on to writing the fourth book!!! I am headed quickly towards the end off my patience, and yet it is only May. I have to wait all summer, and all winter before you can even publish the thing! Then, there is no telling how quickly we will get the book even after you publish it. HURRY IT UP, please? Oh yes and, with the first book blueish purple, the second book maroon, and the third book green, what color will the fourth book be?

 Fourth, I have now spread this series to yet another family! Whoo!
 ****************
So, now I have finished griping about the Wingfeather Saga, I have another new series! It is called the Door Within series, and it is SO awesome. It follows several different people, starting with Aidan, then Antoinette, and finally Robby comes more into play.   But he is the only person , besides Andrew Peterson, that I know off that actually _____ his ____ _________ off! The books are awesome, but unfortunately, they are only a trilogy. I have read them all (twice) and they are amazing. But the third book is best. I can't tell you more about it because my mom and brother are both still reading them. My brother just started book 3 and mom, book 2.


You know, one of these days, I will fill in the blanks about the Wingfeather Saga, unless someone I know that is reading my blog doesn't know this already.

Blessings,
