BOOKS!

Wow its been way too long! Sorry all you dedicated fans! haha :p Well I've been keeping up on my reading as of late and I just finished 2 books this week and I'm starting another tonight! Can't you tell, I love books! :)

Alright the First book I read recently was titled Fairest by Gail Carson Levine. If no one has read any of her books please read Ella Enchanted first. The movie is completely different and the book truly is much better! THEN... you should read Fairest! Its really interesting! And every moment when you think the story will go one way, totally changes and it really keeps ones interest! :) [Side note: This book will probably be favored among girls, sorry guys, you can read it but I'm not so sure it would be a favorite of yours.] Its like a chick flick for a book with adventure and spells and evil mirrors and bad fairies, man eating ogres, goblins and more! :) but you boys wouldn't enjoy it ;)

The second book I recently finished is called Princess Academy by Shannon Hale. I know I know you all are thinking gee Maureen you're reading little kid books now. I would say these are more early-teen books, thank you, and It is really a good book. Like Fairest it keeps you guessing the whole way through, and it slowly unravels. Its about a girl who thinks she's too weak to do anything. She lives up in the mountains and has to overcome many trials, from a horrible tutor to a gang of bandits who try to kill her, to fully understand her life and purpose!

OK I know you again are all thinking, well Maureen really likes these girl power stories... (Trevor) But whats wrong with that I ask you? For once the prince doesn't have to save a damsel in distress, she can do it on her own! Haha alright I'm done rambling now. I suggest these books to anyone who is bored, girls and guys. But I still figure girls would like them more than boys. ;) READ ON!
