The Young Elites

At the suggestion of a student, I have begun reading a new series (Th Young Elites).  Book #1 was excellent and I am now into book #2, The Rose Society.  The story takes us on a journey following young Adelina Autouro as she uses her mysterious powers that she has gotten from surviving the blood fever.  Adelina is creative, smart, but very young and has a lot to learn.  I am enjoying the series and highly recommend it.

Enjoy reading!

A Million Miles in a Thousand Years

I finished The Silver Child and am waiting for our library to get book #2 in the series...in the meantime, I am jumping into a favorite author of mine, Donald Miller.  I first read Blue Like Jazz many moons ago and simply loved it.  Donald writes with a very real and raw passion.  he does not shy away form hard questions and, I believe, has wrestled with God many times in his life, and has come to have a very beautiful and intimate relationship with Him.  Our College English class read A Million Miles in a Thousand Years as one of their summer reading books and I have offered it as an outside reading book for my English classes this year.  I'm 53 pages in and am enjoying the journey.  Dive into a good book, friends.

The Silver Child

Cool new book!  At the recommendation of one of our librarians here at school I have recently begun reading The Silver Child by Cliff Mcnish.  After 98 pages I am very intrigued to finish this first (of three) book.  Short recap: six kids are changing. One is turning gold/silver.  One has grown into a giant.  One can read minds.  Two are truing insect-like. One can heal with his "beauty."  Intriguing right?  I will be finished soon.  Grab it from the library in a day or two.  Keep reading friends.

Dan Brown

So, I've taken a brief hiatus from writing, but not from reading.  I am currently reading Dan Brown's Inferno.  Having read The DaVinci Code many years ago and having enjoyed it, I decided to dive into more of the Robert Langdon adventures.  If you enjoy mystery, action, religion, art, or just an incredible rush, dive into Dan Brown's books!  Angels and Demons might be my favorite :)  Hoping to have a great school year of reading.  Blessings, friends

So Good

Been awhile since my last post...literally was reading a series the entire time.  Just kidding.  But I did finish Fablehaven and LOVED it.  Very fun.  Very beautiful.  Very Creative.  Very entertaining.  I don't want to say much more, but if you are up for the world of dragons, fairies, demons, magic, and mystery...dive into Fablehaven.

Keep on Reading, Friends!

P.S.

I just began John Green's newest book, Turtles all the way Down.  I'll let you know :)

Fablehaven

Finished Book #1 in the five book series this weekend.  Very fun, lighthearted, entertaining read.  Basic premise: Two children spend two weeks at their grandparents home in the country while their parents head off for a cruise.  During this time they find out that their grandparents are caretakers of Fablehaven, a refuge for mystical creatures both good and evil.  The kids have many adventures and end of in one of the most daring rescue trips ever!  I look forward to the next four books.  Keep reading friends!

The Door Within...

What a great series!  It is rare that I get to book #3 without posting.  I think it is because I have been reading them so quickly.  Wayne Batson writes a beautiful series that begins with, The Door Within.  The story centers on Aidan Thomas as he leaves his world and enters THE REALM.  There he quickly becomes the 12th knight and helps save Allebele.  In book #2, The Rise of the Warm Lord, Aidan's friend Antionette is called into THE REALM and try to help the knights save Yehwood.  I cam currently reading book #3, The Final Storm.  Antoinette is still in The REALM and Aidan is battling in this world to save his best friend Robby from following Lord Paragor.  If you like fantasy...If you enjoy the story of what God did for us...If you like reading...Dive deep my friends.  You certainly will enjoy!!
