Hello! Friends and fellow bloggers!
In my last post I promised a book review for Elyssa's Quest. Well I lied I am giving a book review for Elissa's Quest hahaha. : D
The author is Erica Verrillo, in my eyes one of the most genius authors that have ever lived. In this story the author portrays the setting of a teenage girl gifted with talking to animals. Elissa has always dreamed of going beyond the little valley that she lives in, but she never actually thought that it would happen. And with the ancient healer that she lives with makes her go to a dinner that will forever alter her life the story becomes riveting with adventure, I know that I have told you about story with adventure before, but this has been my all time favorite for quite some time and it has not been topped yet. Elissa goes through, a man with evil intentions (several actually), seering deserts, being kidnapped, getting lost, new power awakenings, a man who claims to be her father, and cute, but horridly snobby prince. With wild ride full of mystery and suspense, it was a wonderful book that I could not put down! It is full of humorous, playful, mysterious, and sometimes even romantic moments, but all with a serious outlook. I hope you all go and read this exciting and wonderful book. P.S. My good friend Sarah Foderaro will also be reviewing this book in the foreseeable future and if you want another perspective hers will probably be more interesting and have more criteria, because she is very good at finding them, unlike me! So go to Sarah Joy's Review and check it out!

Book review for "The Naming"
Welcome to Annar and the realms of the seven kingdoms!
The Naming is written by Alison Croggon.
Myrad is a slave in Gilman's cot where she has memories of her deceased mother. Full of sorrow and no hope her life is boring, laborious, and full of misery and pain. Suddenly everything changes when a Bard named Cadvan comes to the cot. Myrad, after much debate and thought decides to trust this man and let him help her escape. When they reach his home, he decides to teach her as a bard, ans the ways of the light. If you are into the light and dark thing, you will probably like this story a lot. She goes on many journeys, discovers new powers and identity's, that she never thought that she had. This book is full of adventure, mystery, dark and light. The only criticism on part would be that at times it was very slow going with a book that is 466 pages long. But that is it, and I look forward to reading the next three I think it is?
Lol, so long everybody, till next time!

Book Review for "The Princess Academy."
Hey everyone!
Sorry I have been gone so long!
I have had "hell week," all week for drama, and had the plays Friday and Saturday.
Recently, I have reread The Princess Academy.
The Princess Academy is one of my all time favorite books!
I have read this book a number of times, and is always magical.
The author, Shannon Hale, is one of my favorite authors.
Her other books are so good! I recommend them very much, so you should look them up! Anyway, back to the review. The Princess Academy is about a mountain girl named, Miri. She feels like that she is worthless because of her almost handicap. She a very small fourteen year old girl with skinny arms (kinda like me) therefore, she thinks that is why her father won't let her work in the quarry. But, when an unexpected visit from the lowlander king's messenger turns her world upside down, stating that all girl twelve through eighteen must go to a fancy school and learn how be a princess, Miri must decide who or what she wants to be a princess or to be with Peder her boyish childhood friend...
This story honestly surprised me with unexpected twists and turns that I would have never even dreamed of.
Shannon Hale brings a book full of poetry and fairytales to life in an amazing and real encounter with the courageous people of Mount Eskel, and that is why she my favorite author.
