Well summer is here upon us again.  Time for me to get started on some more books.  I got started a little early this year and have already read a load of books.  So much so I’m not even sure that I can remember all of them.  I’m starting to get a little book burned out.  Here are a few of the books I have read already and hope that you might be able to start reading too.  I notice that when I do read that my brain works a little better and doesn’t feel so muttled all the time.  I usually remember things better too.  Now I’m always looking for a really good read so if you have any suggestions I’m up for it.  There are a few things I don’t like in a book.  I don’t like a book that is going to make me cry my eyes out.  I also don’t like books that have too much foul language in it.  So if you know of any let me know.

The dragon of Trelain by Michelle Knudsen is the latest book that I have read. The main characters are a young boy and girl about 14. One is a princess the other a mages apprentice. It’s a good story but not my favorite it is similar to other stories I’ve read. It also looks like it will have a book 2. Which means I’ll probably have to wait another year before I can continue the story.  By then I might have lost interest.

The Farwalker’s Quest by Joni Sensel is another book I’ve read.  I really liked this book.  It’s a little different then I’ve read before.  No dragons or anything like that.  It’s a story based on the belief that everyone had some kind of gift.  Some are able to talk to trees others have a gift of healing.  There are many gifts and this is a journey to discover the gifts of two 13 year olds.  It takes them on quite an adventure.  I’m trying not to say much so I don’t give any of it a way.  Over all I really did enjoy reading this book.

The 13th Reality: the Hunt for Dark Infinity by James Dashner.  This is the second book in this series.  The first book was the first book that I blogged about.  I really like the first book.  The second I didn’t like as much but still a good read.  It’s been a year since I read the first and so I had forgotten a lot of characters and events that happened.  So if you have read the first book already then you should review before reading this one.  I think it will go a lot smoother if you do.

The Singing by Allison Croggon.  This is the last book of 4.  I read the other 3 books last summer.  I really got into this series.  It is kind of like the Lord of the Rings series.  I didn’t like having to wait so long for this last book to come out but it was well worth it.  I hadn’t forgotten much anyways and she did a good job of reviewing with it in the book.  If you haven’t already I recommend reading this series.

I think I have included enough pictures so now I’ll just finish with some other books I’ve read.  Fablehaven: the Secrets of the Dragon Sanctuary by Brandon Mull.  I love this series and I read the other ones last summer.  There is still yet another but last book to come out next year but I can’t wait for it.  This is a good series to add to your personal library.

Starclimber by Kenneth Oppel.  This is the 3rd and final book in this series.  I really liked this series too.  I think it will be a good one for my boys to read when they are teens.  It’s full of adventure and flying machines.

I also read Artemis Fowl Series by Eoin Colfer.  Its 6 books!  I know I can’t believe I had that much time to read too.  This series is really not my favorite.  I was pretty much reading them while waiting for other books to come availiable at the library. It wasn’t a total waste on a scale from 1 to 5 it would rank a 3.  It was really hard to get into the books but once you got past the first 100 pages things got more exciting.  So if your looking for a series to fill up some time this would be a good one.

Now I’m waiting and have been waiting for months for the new series of Vampire books (first one is called Marked) by P. C. Cast and Kristin Cast.  I don’t know if I’ll like it but I’ll let you know.  But I think I might need a break from fantasy for a while.  Let me know if you have any suggestions.
