"Have you read this?"

I feel like my blog is getting a little boring, as I'm only reading series right now. If you are, then you'll be happy to know that I will be introducing a new book: The Wolves of Willoughby Chase by Joan Aiken.
Bonnie Green is awaiting the arrival of her cousin, Sylvia. She lives at Willoughby Chase, and the wolves here are very hungry. Bonnie thinks her home is a wonderful one.
Meanwhile, Sylvia is nervously sitting on the freezing cold train, with a strange man that is telling her not to be afraid of the wolves that are now surrounding the train itself.
Does Sylvia get to Willoughby Chase safely? Yes. But that isn't the end of the trouble. There is something worse about to happen... and it starts with a betrayal.
Mr. and Mrs. Green are going on a long cruise, one that will take them about six months. Why? Mr. Green thinks that it will help Mrs. Green's health (I say Mr. and Mrs. Green, because I don't remember their names). Mr. Green leaves Willoughby Chase under the control of Bonnie's governess, Miss Slighcarp. But who is the one to betray them? Miss Slighcarp? One of the servants? Josiah Grimshaw, the stranger who was on the train with Sylvia, who was accidentally hit on the head and knocked out, then brought to Willoughby Chase? And what will happen to Sylvia and Bonnie once they find themselves in an orphanage that, according to Bonnie, is the equivalent of prison?  And what of the hungry wolves? Will they finally have a feast?

One last thing: I finished the third Conspiracy 365 book, March. Again, there was a cliffhanger at the end. And I finished Neverseen, which was - like the first, second, and third books - probably the best series I've ever read.

There. So now you have it. All that I've read since... April fifteenth - or somewhere around that time. Okay... that's not actually a lot. Well, it's probably because Neverseen has around six hundred fifty pages. They keep getting bigger. (Hee hee hee!)

Thanks for being patient with me (actually, you probably haven't been - I wouldn't) and for actually reading this stuff. If I were you, I'd probably just skip all the chit-chat and skim the reviews. Yeah, that sounds like me....

Now, about that title. Sometimes that's what I feel like when we're at the library.
Mom: "Have you read this?"
Me: "Yeah."
Mom: "How about this?"
Me: "Yeah."

We haven't actually had a conversation like this, though.

But other times it's like this:

Mom: "Have you read this?"
Me: "No!"
Mom: "Does it look interesting?"
Me: "Yeah!"
And so on.

Again, we haven't actually had a conversation like this. It's just all in my head. Luckily, the latter example is the one that is the closest to reality: there are tons of books I want to read.

Oops. I'm just going on and on again.


Bye.
