The Summer King By O.R. Melling


Ok, I think that I am slowly going nuts (more so that I already was i mean.) I have this weird THING about not being able to read the second book in a series without reading the books that come prior to it. This time, I took a chance, and *gasp* started with the second book. Note: the only reason I did something so totally against my OCD tendencies was that the book jacket said that it can be read in any order. (they were telling the truth!) I am going to steal the book jacket description however, because it is WAY to hard to describe without having spoilers.

On the anniversary of her twin sister’s mysterious death, 17 year old Laurel returns to Ireland in search of answers. Her sister, Honor, believed in fairies. Laurel does not. Then ‘the roly poly man’ approaches Laurel with a mission and offers her the chance to save her sister. She accepts his advice: act as if ye believe and see what happens. Setting out in search of the Summer King, she unearths old hatreds in the Faerie Realm and rekindles an old romance of her own. But is the handsome dark-haired Ian friend or foe?

Awesome book! Semi confusing at times if you try to explain it (details are so INTRICATE absolootly amazing!)A and B the C of D!

Girlwood By Claire Dean


Girlwood is something that I got at the library to fill up my bag of books and POSSIBLY read if i had time to do so before it was due. Knowing me, I finished all my must read right now books, and started moving on to other books. This one was AMAZING and has gone from my: 'Meh, I'll read it if I need to' list, to my 'OMYGOSH this book was AWESOME' list in less than 24 hours. Girlwood is about a girl named Polly who loves the forrest by her house, and loves her grandmother. The forrest is being threatened by a HUGE building company, and her crack head sister Bree runs away to live in the forrest just as the Building project gets under way. She now has to save not only her sister, but the forrest and her Grandma. Honestly, I thought I would hate it but being me, I HAD to give it a chance, and I loved it. P.S. it made me cry. That NEVER happens

The Red Queen's Daughter By: Jaqueline Kolosov


The Red Queen's Daughter is a Elizabthian coming of age story about the daughter of Queen Katherine Parr, who oh by the way, just happens to be the good witch in the court of Queen Elizabeth. (The daughter, not the Queen) The girl, Mary has had a hard childhood, is rescued by a good witch, and then, when she is old enough sent to the court of Queen Elizabeth, to keep Evil from destroying England. Yes, this sounds a little cleche, but trust me, it is anything but.(Yes, I know I'm telling you to trust an insane person, but you know what, it was YOUR choice to read this blog.) Warning: if you do not like ANY type of romance whatsoever do not read this, and if you do read it, keep in mind the culture of the time period, as portrayed in the book, was actually really common with the nobility, so keep that in mind with the romance as well.

The Deed Of Paksenarrion By: Elizabeth Moon



This is one of my all time favorite books. It is TECHNICALLY three different books: Sheepfarmers Daughter, Divided Alleigence, and Oath Of Gold; but why bother with going through the hassle of finding the three seperate books? Its basically a raggs to riches story of a girl (Paksenarrion)who wants to be a warrior and joins a mercenary company. The books from then on just follow her story. As i said before, this is one of my all time favorite books. In fact, I have now read it too much, and its falling apart. *sob* Ah well, its just a new excuse to go to Borders (avoiding all contact with other people in there. Especially the ones that robotically spout the phrase 'Do you need any help?' *shudders* I mean, seriosly people! If anyone NEEDS the help, they will ask! Dont scare away shy custumers! Ok then. Rant over.)

My Fair Godmother By: Janette Rallison


This was a HILARIOUS read! My mom borrowed it, and woke everyone up in the middle of the night with her holws of laughter. It was a tragic comedy (yes, I know, that makes NO sense.) about a girl named Savannah, whose boyfreind breaks up with her, not just for another girl, but for her sister. Thats where her fair godmother comes in. Unfourtunatly, they match godmothers by personality,and this godmother is well, INTERESTING to say the least.

New Blog REJECTED Names for obvious (I hope) reasons

Well, lucky you! I have now started up a blog! Now, all you poor souls that know me can in all likelyhood be irritated by me anywhere with internet access! All part of my grand scheme and all that jazz dontcha know.

Well anyhoo, I had the easiest time figuring out a blog name. (Note: easiest is pronounced exactly like the words nearly impossible.) HOWEVER, I digress. Here is the list of Rejected names for this blog:

  • Bouncybooks. I am a VERY enegetic person...usually. This WOULD bave been THE ONE if my mom had not pointed out to me that it sounds like rubber books for toddlers. erm, NEXT!
  • VLGR Books. This was NOT my idea. it was said Mothers'. Her reasoning was: Virtuous, Lovely, of Good Report, or Virgin Lips Girl. All I could see was the word vulgar. scratch that one off the list.
  • Anyas Book Nook. Yes, I actually said it in my desperation. Moving on.
  • Stupendus or Stupid. Not sure WHY I didn't go with this...oh well.

And that was my oh-so-exhaustive list of reject names. Do you have a headache yet? Good. Finally, I dragged out a thesourus, and looked up book (can you say desperate?) i found Scroll listed in there. So, there you have it folks. It had to do with something used only CENTURIES ago. I was sold.
