Thank You for sponsoring me!


I would like to give my thanks to everyone who sponsored me in my reading challenge.  I set myself a goal of finding 10 sponsors, and earning $150 for the Talkeetna Library.  Thanks to you I managed to earn $600 for the library!!!  Hey Sponsors – you are all so cool!!  Thank you for helping me succeed in my challenge.  

Day 30...The final day!


Day 30 (3-28 Saturday) My LAST DAY!!!  Today I read and finished “Adventures Wanted, book 3”. It took me about an hour to finish the last 3 chapters. I really like how Alex goes ballistic when his horse dies or his friend is hurt; when this happens he incinerates the monster that caused them pain. I thought this was a really good book and I definitely recommend this series to all fantasy lovers.

I also read the first 2 books in the “Spiderwick Chronicles” series. These books are kind of small, but they are very interesting and fantasy-like. I will definitely continue to read this series.

Day 29 - I Funny


Day 29 (3-27 Friday) Today I started and finished a book called “I Funny” which is about a boy in a wheelchair who wants to be a stand-up (or should I say sit-down) comedian.  This book has 303 pages and took me about an hour to read.  There are lots of pictures in it which is why it went so fast.

Day 26-28 Albrek's Tomb



Day 26 (3-24 Tuesday) Today I read the first 8 chapters (124 pages) in “Adventures Wanted, book 3 – Albrek’s Tomb”. In this quest they must find the dwarfin Ring of Searching to find new mines for the dwarfin kingdom before the old ones go dry.

Day 27 (3-25 Wednesday) Today I read 1 hour and a half (6 chapters, pages 109-209) in “Adventures Wanted, book 3”.

Day 28 (3-26 Thursday) Today I read for about 2 hours (7 chapters, pages 235-399) in “Adventures Wanted, book 3”.  This book is just as interesting as the last two.  In each of these books, Alex encounters at least one mythological creature.  In this one he encounters cintars, brownies, sphinxes, as well as a gryphin and a nagis.

day 18-19 finishing The Peculiar


Day 18 (3/16) Today I finished “The Peculiar”. I didn’t really like it and don’t quite recommend it. I couldn’t keep up really, and it would switch who was telling the story mid-sentence. It was entertaining but very confusing.

******************************************************************   Day 19 (3-17) Today I started “The Supernaturalist” by Eion Colfer. This Book is about a future city and a boy named Cosmo hill. After escaping an orphanage that tests weird medicines on the kids, he joined a group of teens fighting a vires to save all human life in there city. It is very interesting.
