As you can guess, the title is a bit of a joke... I lent my friend a book and we are counting the times the word "cravat" was used. (Multiple times, apparently.) Anyways, surprisingly I have not read as much as I would have liked since school ended. I am having a hard time finding a book that provides the type of escape I am looking for. So I have decided to start the perilous work of writing the books I would like to read. But don't ask about my startling protagonists or I shall bite you. Writing is tedious work and is worth little unless someone else reads and enjoys it. So wish me luck instead! I'm starting off by filling a character sheet to build up my characters' personalities. I will post one up when I am finished.
In the meantime, here is a rundown of the books I have read:
Poison Study by Maria Snyder - A- I really enjoyed this one and am looking forward to reading the sequels! It was YA fantasy (dare I say, slightly trashy?) but very interesting.
Thirteenth Child by Patricia Wrede - A I want the next one to come out! I was hooked on it from the start. I really think the whole controversy about leaving out the Native Americans was rather stupid; allow her to finish the series people!
Fire and Hemlock by Dianna Wynne Jones - B The ending made no sense. I cannot stand it when endings do not make sense! I liked the rest of the story however. Not my favorite by Ms. Jones.
