The Mysterious Benedict Society

Sorry I haven't been writing lately. I just haven't gotten around to it. Sometimes the problem is that when I do have time, I'm doing something and don't think at all about my blog.
But enough of that! During the time that I haven't written, I was able to have to read The Mysterious Benedict Society. I've read it before, once, but when I read it only a few weeks ago, I realized that I know enjoy the book more than I ever have! It's about a boy named Reynard (Reynie is his nickname) Muldoon, who is a gifted child. He is an orphan, who stays in an orphanage, his tutor (Miss Perumal) coming by every day. Reynie meets three other gifted children, and they are expected to become a team. Someone is damaging the minds of people all over the world, without anybody realizing. The four children (all orphans, I might add) set out with a mission to try to find out more about the damaged minds.
This book is very well written (I was sad when the book ended [everybody gets sad when a book ends, but I was a little more sad than I normally would be], but I was willing to part with it), and I am looking forward to reading again after a long while.

I've gotten some more books from the library (Adventurers Wanted: Slathbog's Gold, My Diary From the Edge of the World, Capture the Flag, and Pillage) and I'm hoping that they'll be good. So far, Slathbog's Gold is great. But there is a possibility that I will end up not liking it. I've read one chapter of My Diary From the Edge of the World, and... well you can't tell after just one chapter, can you?
I've read Capture the Flag before (only once), and really liked it. Let's see if I still like it.
I have no idea about Pillage. It has a dragon on the cover. The title text is fancy. It's paper-back. (I don't know what to think about Pillage! Now I'm just writing stuff.) Yeah.

Sorry, I'm not in much of a writing mood right now. I'm just... in a weird mood. Hard to explain.
I hope you have a good week. I am. Have fun reading.  :|  :{  :}


P.S. Do you ever look back at something you've done, and think "Why did I do that?" or "I can't believe I did that!" or "I actually did that? It's hilarious!" or "Wow, I actually managed to write something that weird?"? Boy, have I. I've done that a million times.
