Use the Graphic - Done. It's so beautiful! I love it.

First Draft: A Book or Series You Have Never Read Before

Hmm...... I would probably have to say The Ranger's Apprentice series by John Flanagan. I have heard a lot about the series, but I just never seem to get to them. Maybe I will later this spring. It will have become one of my goals. *starts writing frantically in to-do journal*

Second Draft: A Book or Series You Didn't Like as Much the Second Time You Read It

This one would definitely have to be Lord of the Rings. I sincerely apologize to all of those LOTR fans out there. I read it once, and I have tried reading it since then time and time again. I can never make it all the way through, because I just don't like it.

Final Draft: A Book or Series You Have Liked for a Really Long Time

Redwall. Hands down. I have been reading (and re-reading) this series for about 5-6 years, and I still love it. I got some from the local library when they were going to sell them, and I was so excited! I still have that collection and I read it typically 1-2 times a year. I like that while the stories are separate, they are still connected to each other in many ways. It has just stayed with me all these years.

Killing Off Your Characters: A Book or Series That Made You Cry

I have never been brought to tears by any of the books that I have read. (Well now I have shot myself in the foot). The only one which brought me close was probably This Quiet Sky by Joanne Bischof. It was a good book, but so sad!!!! You most likely won't like the ending, but you should definitely still read it.

Plot Holes: A Book or Series That Disappointed You

There have been a few books over the years that have disappointed me, but the one that really let me down was the Heroes of Olympus series by Rick Riordan. I really enjoyed the first installment in the Percy Jackson series, but after he started the sequel series I was disappointed. For me it just wasn't as good as the original series.

Writer's Block: A Book or Series You Haven't Finished

The Inkheart trilogy is one such series for me, alas. I really do keeping meaning to get to it (like that will happen soon lol) but school is keeping me away. I thought the plot was really unique and it intrigues me. Have any of y'all read this series? Is it worth finishing?

Feedback: A Book or Series You Would Recommend to Anyone

Does it have to be a book or a series? Can it be an author???? Please??? Well, if it has to be a book or series, I would recommend The Sherwood Ring by Elizabeth Marie Pope. It is a little bit of an easier read, but it is really interesting and even funny at times. I would highly recommend it though. There might be one d--n, but I think that is all. However, if it can be an author, I would recommend Agatha Christie, especially if suspense/mystery is your jazz. Her novels and short stories almost always have a twist that you don't see coming. It keeps you guessing right until the end, which is something that I like. Are there any books/series/authors that you guys would recommend? I would love to know!

I would also like to apologize for being so late with this week's post. I had a busy week and a youth group retreat so it just didn't work out. Thank you all for being so patient!
