Summer Reading

Now that i actually have time to post stuff here...

weee, summer is here and passing before my eyes faster than i would like, with less time for reading than one would think...

Anyways i just read this very intersting book called Warriors of Alavna by N.M. Browne about two kids, Dan and Ursula, (who live somewhere in england) getting pulled into the past (or analternate reality of the past), to the time of the Celts and the Romans. The book (surprisingly) does not dwel overly much on their desire to get back to their own time (but obviously this is something the two kids worry about), instead it covers their adventures there in the time they have found themselves in. It is a fun book to read (though it does have some very STRANGE concepts in it, one in particular...).

I have also been reading a lot of Fruits Basket and other manga. (more on the manga) Ultra Maniac was a short series, but it was cute and fun. I still love to read Full Moon o Sagashite over again. the second book in Vampire Knight ( a rather bloody and dark series) has recently come out and the second book in The Gentlemen's Alliance is also out now, Gentlemen's Alliance is a series by the same woman that did Full Moon, not having to do with magic, but focuses on the life of a girl in a school for very wealthy kids (her family is rich also) and her search for and obtaining of the boy she fell in love with some years ago.

Another book i read recently is called The Light-Bearer's Daughter by O.R. Melling. It is the third book in a series of loosly connected books called the Chronicles of Faerie. The books in this series can each usually be read by themselves and not in any particular order, though it may be less confusing if you read them in the order written which is:
The Hunter's Moon
The Summer King
The Light-Bearer's Daughter

The Light-Bearer's Daughter is about a young girl named Dana, she lives in Ireland and her mother dissapeared with no warning when she was small. Her father has now been offered a job in Canada (where he was born, though his family is from Ireland) and Dana really doesn't want to move because if they do, how will her mother find them again. This is where the Faeries come in, a faerie woman comes to Dana asker for her help with something (i wont say what) and in return offers Dana a wish, any wish. And so Dana runs away from home and embarks on her adventures to help the faerie and in return, find her mother. Basically.

Thats all for now.
