OK, so I finished Book Two. It was really good as well. It has a very unexpected ending and the best part was that it was even more funny then the first one. I love books with humor and it was the best kind, too. It wasn't just jokes, it wasn't just the grumpy gargoyle, it was the sarcastic witch that really did it for me. I would burst out laughing at the way she talks sometimes. This one had so much adventure, too! The wizards are back and they are up to no good. It starts with a king, a mystery, giants, a broken magic carpet, a magic sword, and it ends with a wedding.
I recommend this book as well.

Ella Enchanted
That fool of a fairy Lucinda did not intend to lay a curse on me. She meant to bestow a gift. When I cried inconsolably through my first hour of life, my tears were her inspiration. Shaking her head sympathetically at mother, the fairy touched my nose.
"My gift is obedience. Ella will always be obedient. Now stop crying, child."
I stopped.
This is how the story starts. I love this book, it is one of my favorites! Gail Carson Levine did such great job at writing this. I've listened to it on tape at least ten times and read it twice I believe, that I know the first page by heart and I once knew the whole last chapter and epilogue. Speaking of the epilogue, I love the way it ends.
And so, with laughter and love, we lived happily ever after.

Cool Books
In this pic I am reading Isle of Fire. It is the last out of a two book series, Isle of Swords is the first. They are both great books. They are by Wayne Thomas Batson. He is my favorite author and author of my all time favorite books, The Door Within Trilogy. There are three books in the trilogy, 1. The Door Within, 2. The Rise of the Wyrm Lord, and 3. The Final Storm.
I recommend all five of these books.
The Goose Girl
She was born with her eyes closed and a word on her tongue, a word she could not taste. Her name was Anidori-Kiladra Talianna Isilee,Crown Princess of Kildenree,and she spent the first years of her life listening to her aunt's stories and learning the language of the birds, especially the swans. When she was older, she watched as a colt was born, and she heard the first word on his tongue, his name, Falada.
I love this book. A wonderful Fairy tale by Shannon Hale. I recommend it.
However, there are two other books in this series, Enna Burning and River Secrets. I don't recommend these. They have problems. The Goose Girl does not leave you hanging so you don't need to read the other two to know what happens. The other two books are merely about other people from The Goose Girl. Not about the main character , Anidori.
