If anyone hasn't read The Old Kingdom books, they should!

Erm..

(This is Sabriel.)

Sabriel attends Wyverley Girls College in Ancelstierre (Nix's version of normal) and has recently graduated with runaway firsts in every subject. But her particular school has certain extra-curricular activities, like the learning of Magic, because of its proximity to the Wall which marks Ancelstierre's border with the Old Kingdom. Over the wall, life is very different and the use of magic is commonplace. Then, on the edge of death, Sabriel's father, Abhorson, sends her a cryptic message that means she must venture into the Old Kingdom and calm the storm that is brewing there, and which will surely multiply at her father's passing. Refusing to accept his fate, Sabriel inherits the tools of her father's trade and his name. Her new duty is to lay the disturbed dead back to rest with the help of seven powerful bells worn across the chest. Sabriel seeks her father's slayer in a mammoth journey that is hindered by dark magic, monsters-a-plenty and shadowy unsubstantial evils.

(Amazon. :D)

That might not be a very good description, but they are amazing. Lirael was the best IMO.

I am currently reading The Goose Girl by Shannon Hale...ordered it about a month and a half ago...got it last week...found time to properly read it NOW...:rolleyes:

I didn't really like the beginning much...am mid-way now...Princess Academy was WAAAAAAAAAAAAY better...IMO...:)

I will try reading the Hobbit again...though I am short on time....:(


Actually, I am reading 3 books at the same time!!!:eek:
The Goose Girl and a couple of others I got from my school library!

[Calypso]

I'm reading 2 books at the moment, The Tiger In The Well by Phillip Pullman and Sophie's World (which is a kind of philosophical book) by Jostein Gaardner (I think that's how you spell her name....)

[Mara-Marie]

P-S those books sound really cool. a bit confuseing and hard to follow but cool never-the-less. thanks. i'll look for them.
I'm still reading Tamar. almosts done thought. Waiting anxiously for the Crow to come out here. i still havn't seen it!!!!

[Clavila]

I FINISHED THE GOOSE GIRL!!!!!:D

I liked the ending...though this book seemed a LOT more mature than The Princess Academy,IMO...:rolleyes:...but perhaps that is only me....

I am due to start Fairest by Gail Carson Levine today....I absolutely LOVED Ella Enchanted...

They spoiled the book by making its movie adaptation.:(
Aside from the fact that Ella has the gift of obedience and marries Char, there is not much similarity in the plot...

Alas, that is the disadvantage of movie adaptations...

I hope the adaptation for Artemis Fowl is good...it would absolutely torture me if the books were not done justice....I love Artemis Fowl...:(

I'm reading New Moon. I'm only in 5 chapters and already I'm hooked. It's made me cry and go completely numb. :(:(
