Enchanted Forest Chronicles: Book Two, Searching For Dragons, By Patricia C. Wrede

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.

The Enchanted Forest Chronicles, Book One, Dealing With Dragons By Patricia C. Wrede

I have just finished this great book and I completely recommend it. This book is about a princess named Cimorene. But she is no ordinary princess. She doesn't like to dance, do stitchery, learn, or anything of the sort. And she really doesn't want to marry a stuffy prince. She is bored with her life and wants adventure. Well, she got it! Cimorene runs away and becomes a maid for a dragon named Kazul. Along the way she meets a witch, wizards, a jinn and a bunch of dragons.



I normally don't read too many books with witches, but sometimes I do. I don't like to read a book when all the focus is on the magic, but this book wasn't like that. It had magic but it wasn't concentrating on it. This book was funny and very enjoyable. I can't wait to read the second one!

Princess Academy

The next afternoon break, Miri joined the others outside. The sun's glare off the snow made her eyes water, but it seemed the most beautiful day Miri could remember. The sky was achingly blue. The snow that crunched under her boot spread over stone and hillock like spilled cream. The cold made the world feel clean and new, a day for beginnings.

DragonFire

I finished DragonFire!!!! It is a great book. But something bad happens to the main character. Oh, I was scared it wouldn't come out alright! As I go through the series they get more and more exciting. But I'm sad, for I'm almost done with the series. I ordered the last book from the library. It's just, I can't wait to finish them because I want to know what happens but I don't want one of the best books I've ever read to stop.

Anyway, everyone should read these books!

The City Of Ember

While I waited for DragonFire to come I started to read The City Of Ember. It is really good! It is about an underground city and the people who live there. The people had gone underground for safety and were not allowed to talk about it so that now the present generation does not realize they are living underground and there is the world up here. Will they find their way up when supplies start running out and the lights start going out????????


I'm going to watch the movie when I'm done with the second, and last, book.

They are great books!

Series of Unfortunate Events: Book the Seventh, The Vile Village, By Lemony Snicket

I had started reading this at the same time I was reading DragonKnight, but I put it down so I could finish DragonKnight. But since I finished it last night, I started The Vile Village again. I read the rest of it this morning. I had tried to read this a few years ago but I just couldn't get into it. At the request of a friend, I tried again, and well, he was right. I really liked it. I recommend this book and the rest of the series. The books are:

1. The Bad Beginning
2.The Reptile Room (one of my favorites)
3. The Wide Window
4. The Miserable Mill
5. The Austere Academy (another one of my favorites)
6. The Ersatz Elevator (again, a favorite of mine)
7. The Vile Village

There are 13 in all, but since these are the only ones I've read, (or listened to on tape) I'll only list these. Also, all the books are dedicated to a person named Beatrice. All the dedications are really weird and they are not suppose to be serious. But anyway, in the 7th book, I like the dedication. It says:

For Beatrice-
When we were together I felt breathless.
Now you are.

The books are about three siblings and their lives. A lot of bad (or Unfortunate) things happen to them. Their parents die and they are sent to live with a man named Count Olaf. He tries to kill them to get the fortunes that were left to them. Now, like the dedications, the books are not meant to be serious.

DragonKinght

I finished it!!!!!!!!! It is really, really good! I guess I said this about the other two, but I don't want to say much else because I don't want to ruin it for those who might read it. But I will say this, in the epilogue, I cried two times. Once because I was so sad, and again because I was so happy.

I'm now going to read a few books before the next one comes. They take so long to come because I have to get them from libraries that are far away.

Princess Academy

As I waited for DragonKnight to come, I read Princess Academy, which I have read before. I remembered how much I liked it and I just had to read it again. It is, like The Goose Girl, written by Shannon Hale. So very wonderfully written.
I recommend it. And, when winter comes, I have a part picked out to posted on this blog.

DragonKinght

I got the next one, DragonKnight. It is really nice. I am really glad my mom found the Dragon Keeper's series. They are just so wonderful. More and More things are happening that I just don't know what to think. I guess at things and I start thinking that it just has to end up in a certain way and then, BOOM! I get surprised.
