More Books

I have been reading lots more books lately and forgot to update my blog with them! I have been enjoying reading books by Lemony Snicket because he is funny and exciting. Did you know that he was thought to be dead once? I'm not quite sure why, but since that he has researched lots of things, like what happened to him. The books of his that have been reading are part of the Series of Unfortunate Events.
It all started when Violet, Klaus and Sunny were exploring Briny Beach when Mr Poe the bank manager came to tell them some horrible news about their parents. They had been killed in a terrible fire that had destroyed their mansion. After the horrible news, they were forced to stay with Mr Poe until he could find a suitable guardian for them. The guardian, of course, was not one bit suitable for them. He was a nasty man called Count Olaf who treated them like dirt, and thought up treacherous schemes to make their lives miserable.
Violet, who was 14, was an excellent inventor. Klaus, 13, had a love for books and research and Sunny, just a baby, had teeth as sharp as a knife and loved to bite things. They always find themselves in danger. Can they survive with their unique skills?

Magyk.....

Right now I am reading the Magyk series and it is all about Wizards. Ordinary Wizards, Extra Ordinary Wizards and even Wizards that are ghosts! That might sound a bit boring because it's all about Wizards, it's not. It's really quite interesting.

Two More Down

I finished The Puzzle Ring and also Shadowgate by Emily Rodda (one of my FAVOURITE authors). Shadowgate is the 2nd book in the 3rd series of Deltora Quest and it is great!



Lief, Barda and Jasmine are searching for the Sister of the North, the Shadow Lord's evil creation, to try and rid Deltora of the powerful force of hatred and evil that he possesses within him.

The Isle of the Dead is the 3rd book in the 3rd series of the Deltora Quest which I love to bits!




On the weekend my family and I watched Bride Wars. It is so funny because the two main characters Emma and Liv (Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson) who are best friends can so easily turn into enemies over their weddings.



 On Monday my sisters and I went back to school. I am in year 6 this year, Bethany is in year 3 and Mia is in year 1.
I am glad to be back at school after six long weeks at home!

Another Book........

Sometimes I read a few books at once because it's fun to get to know a few different story lines. That's why I've started to read The Puzzle Ring.



The Puzzle Ring takes a long time to get into, but it is really interesting after a while. I'm up to chapter 4 now and things are getting exciting.

Finished!

 I have finished reading The Heart of Glass and have started a new book which is called..........

Mini Shopaholic is really an adults book but I nicked it off Mum and I read the back of it and it sounded really good so I started to read it.
Becky Brandon has a two year old daughter called Minnie. Minnie's favourite word is 'mine' and she creates havoc everywhere she goes. She has even started to bid for designer bags on eBay!

I'm Reading...


I'm about halfway through this book and so far I am really enjoying it. The Heart of Glass is about some princesses and princes in the Five Kingdoms but it's not a fairytale as it sounds. It has a twist. Prince Marcus goes on an adventure with an orphan called Gracie Gillypot who is his best friend, to the Unreliable Forest where a tree grabs Gracie and pulls her into a tunnel........



The Fables of Aesop is a very ancient collection of short tales. Each one teaches you a famous life lesson, like "slow and steady wins the race" and "honesty is the best policy". I reckon some of the tales are a bit hard to understand, but some are really good.


Mum's been reading this to my sisters and I at bedtime.  The writing is soooooo old fashioned and weird, but it is so funny we crack up laughing every now and then.
It has lots of songs in it, and even though Mum doesn't know the tune she sings them to us anyway!
