I'm so sorry that I haven't been writing for such a long time! The Internet was down for a long while, but that gave me time to read more books.
Just a little bit ago, I finished the second Janitors book: Secrets of New Forest Academy. All books have their boring parts, even the Janitors books, but in the Janitors books, it's hard to tell when you get to that boring part. And most times, when you're at a boring part in a Janitors book, there's at least one funny sentence. In the second Janitors book, Tyler Whitesides really picks it up a notch and brings some action into the story. It's more intense than the first book.
I also just finished book three of the Fablehaven series. It's quite exciting; it has tons of action. In a perilous situation, the characters barely make it out alive. Some of them are learning how to make smart moves and what not to do. Book three of the Fablehaven series; Grip of the Shadow Plague, really draws your attention. Brandon Mull has a super great way of using words.
Another book that I just finished, is called: North of Nowhere, by Liz Kessler. It's really interesting, full of mystery. Once you get close to the middle of the book, it really starts to get exciting. It's the kind of book that doesn't have a lot of action in it, but still gets exciting. When you get past the middle of the book, the mystery starts to unfold in an exciting way. But, I have to warn you, it gets a little confusing when the characters make a confession. Let's just say that it was hard for me to understand the last chapter of the book, but that doesn't mean that you won't understand the last chapter. For all I know, you could understand it perfectly.
So there you have it; three books that I have finished since the Internet hasn't been working.
When I think of books that I need to read again (not to mention put on this blog!), I smile because there are so many! Just now, I'm thinking of around five that need to be read again.
I have just thought of one reason that this blog is not a blog about movies: The other night I watched the first Star Wars on VidAngel, and since everyone that's watched Star Wars that I know about, has either liked it, or loved it. I didn't care for it! I really didn't care for it. It won't matter to me at all, if I never see any Star Wars movie ever again. And I think that one reason I didn't like Star Wars, is because I read a lot of books, and in books, you can imagine what things look like, but in movies, you can't. Also, maybe I'm just not a Star Wars kind of person; I really prefer books to Star Wars. I just think it's a little bit funny.
Anyway, so now you know why I haven't been writing for some while, and what I've been up to during the time that the Internet was out. I guess I'd better end this post now; I've got some things to do.
P.S. Yes, Grandma. I was thinking about that. People do get rewarded for standing up to their belief in another way than diamonds. Sometimes it doesn't seem like they get rewarded (like Jonathan Hoopes), but sometimes they do. Of course they do! They could feel super happy afterwards, or super relieved, and they could also be blessed! Good thinking!

I have never heard of the book North of Nowhere before. I'll have to check that out! And you know I LOVE the Fablehaven series! One of my favorite things about that series is seeing how the main characters grow - especially the brother. I'm glad you love books more than movies. They definitely are better!
ReplyDeleteYou are right that books are usually better than movies, but I gotta tell you that I like most of the Star Wars movies. The new one is great fun. When I read a book I usually look up the physical location and other things about it on the internet. That helps my imagination. Some things with Star Wars and other things (like Lord of the Rings) are beyond my imagination until I see them on the screen.
