Recently finished: The black pouder war by Naomi Novik
Currently reading: Pendragon: pilgrums of Rayne by DJ machale
I have to say, the black pouder war was a tough read and I am not sure I liked it as good as the first two books of the series. I just hope the next one in the series will be better.
Meanwile Pendragon is looking amazing so far! It's really nice to read a book with modern speech in it after the last book (( BPW)). This pendragon being the 8th book in the series, It's really good! To all fans out there who havn't read it yet I have to say you are in for a loop! Got some nice plot twists out there for you 3nodding

Recently Finished: Listening for Lions, by Gloria Whelan
Currently Reading: Wildwood Dancing, by Juliet Marillier
Listening for Lions was an awesome book. It's definitely going on my list of favorites, and maybe I'll keep an eye out for it, so I can get my own copy. The plotline was interesting, and the things that the main character had to go through really made me pay attention and feel bad for her. It was a great book.
Wildwood Dancing is one of few books in a long time that I've felt the same way towards that I do about video games. With video games, if I don't like something, I'll admit that I go and yell at the tv. While I haven't yelled while reading this book, I've definitely wanted to get inside the book and deliver a solid punch to one of the characters, and I'm not the type of person to do that in real life. I haven't finished this book yet, but it kept me very occupied while battling carsickness, and I'm really, really enjoying it...Though, I can't help but feel as if I've read it before, even though I know I haven't...

Recently finished: The three books based on the TV show 'Monk'
Currently reading: The Temptation of Eminster by Ed Greenwood
I acually started the Elminster book long before the Monk books, and the Monk books were acually saposed to be a gift for my Uncle, but I got curious...
after reading those books (which were light mysteries) I found that it's really hard getting back into the Elminster book sweatdrop

Recently Finished: Wildwood Dancing, by Juliet Marillier; A Northern Light, by Jennifer Donnelly
Currently Reading: Safehouse, by James Heneghan
Wildwood Dancing was very nice. It was based off of that story about the seven dancing princesses, which is probably why I recognized it. It had many good elements in its plot, though I won't mention any of them as to not spoil.
A Northern Light is DEFINITELY on my favorites now. I still don't know why, exactly, I loved reading this book, but I really did, and I was surprised to find out in the end that it was based on a true story, though it certainly was expected.
Safehouse was a book that I picked up last-minute, and, while I'm still reading it, it took having no other book with me at the moment to pick it up and actually start reading.

Leviathan by Thomas Hobbes. It's 400 years old and really hard to read. How my english teacher got me to do it for my final project I have no idea. I can't write like Hobbes. I wish I could.

Fineshed reading: Pendragon: pilgrums of Rayne
Personaly I think DJ machale has gone downhill with his writing since the... what? fourth maby fifth book. Whenever he switched to hardcover thats when it started to go down hill, but this one... god with this one I am not sure I even want to finesh the series! That last book was horrable! Shame really, I do love the origonal concept behind the series. :: sigh:: win some you lose some I guess.
I was going to barrow Inkheart from the library at school but the library closed down yesterday for the end of the school year! : crys:: oh well, at least I got a job by the local book store for summer! :: dances::

RikuNakamura08 Artemis Fowl The Lost Colony which is the fifth book in the Artemis Fowl series by Eoin Colfer. I really hope he makes more in the series. With an ending like that I am sure he has no choice.

Recently finished: Bloody Jack
Currently reading: Apathy; and Other Small Victories
Bloody Jack was ok for a book ment for younger readers while also being a desent length (about 300 pages), mostly I read it because I wanted to read something at least somewhat piratey >.>
it was about a girl who, after being orphened and the leader of her little street gang got killed, desided to disgise herself as a boy and get work on a boat
it was somewhat intresting except for her crush on one of the other shipboys, about two thirds though the books it's like "Hey, I'm acually a girl not a boy, wanna make out?" (not in those exact words, but really really close...)
Apathy and Other Small Victories is a book my brother told be to read, so far I'm iffy on it
it's kinda funny so far with cynical humor, but all the talk about sex doesn't seem nessisary
it's about a guy who gets taken in for questioning after a deaf woman he was freinds is found dead. While he's quesioned he reflects on varous aspects and people in his life

I am in the middle of reading Mark Twain's Life On the Mississippi. It's one of those things that has sat on my bookshelf for more years than I care to admit, but my new determination to read through my own books more often before buying new ones presses me to pull down the old classics that I have sadly neglected. Although I am only on chapter eight, it seems a bit slow picking up at the moment.
Although it is amusing early on how Sam says that his friends prayed and hoped that if they were good then God would permit them to be pirates.

Hah, I've read Bloody Jack. It's a neat beginning of a trilogy.
Recently Finished: Safehouse, by James Heneghan; Wolf Cry, by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes; Star Crossed, by Linda Collison
Currently Reading: Desperate Journey, by Jim Murphy; Ransom, by Lois Duncan
Safehouse was interesting, but I don't know if I'd read it again.
Wolf Cry was awesome, just like the rest of the series by this author. She writes great things that I'd love to own.
Star Crossed was interesting as well, though it did seem a bit rushed in places.
Desperate Journey is something I haven't gotten very far in yet, since I keep getting distracted, but it's a nice book so far.
Oh man; Ransom. I've read this book so many times that I can't even count. I love this book, and my library was actually giving a copy of it away! I scooped it up and started reading it. It's so awesome.

yeah, I concered getting the other two books, but mabie later
I have a bunch of other books I've been wanting to get at
Recently Finished: Apathy and Other Small Victories
Currently reading: Bloodsucking Feinds by Christopher Moore
I have mixed feelings about Apathy and Other Small Victories
it was a desent book, but it just didn't do much for me
probually becase it was kinda short and I'm somewhat adverse to reading about sex which was a major sub-theme in this book...
but some parts seemed superficial, but unexpected in a way that it made the book a bit more intresting
like the saltshakers... sweatdrop
Bloodsucking Feinds is about a girl who finds herself a vampire after being atacked and how she tries to keep a relitively 'normal' life with the help of a wanna-be writer
I was alittle put off how quickly she just asepted the fact that she was a vampire. No shock, no expleration; just sorta an 'Oh well' and went on with it...
other then that it seems pretty good
