Quick word from Myla

Besides loving books so much I made a blog to talk about them, I am also a writer. Myla is one of the characters in a story I am writing, and she wants to say hi. "....Um....hi?" She is very enthusiastic about checking out some of the books I talk about, and I hope you will be too. Once I actually get followers...if I ever do...

Eon by Alison Goodman




Eon
By Alison Goodman

In a early Chinese civilization, Eon, a girl pretending to be a boy, is attempting to be chosen as the Dragoneye, or the holder of one of the sacred dragons. She is pretending to be a boy, because girls are not allowed to enter. The punishment is death. If her secret is revealed, everyone close to her will die.

A dramatic tale, but suited more for older girls.

Restauraunt at the End of the Universe



Restauraunt at the End of the Universe
By Douglas Adams

In this equally funny sequel to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, the story continues as the friends search for a place to eat and the Ultimate Question. Full of kidnaps, lame jokes, and time warps, this Sci-Fi novel will keep you laughing until the end.

A very excellent sequel. Three thumbs up!

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy




by Douglas Adams







This was an amazingly funny book!! The series starts off following a human named Arthur Dent, who is saved from his planet's destruction by a traveling hitchhiker. As they roam the galaxy trying to survive, they team up with several unlikely characters, including a chronically depressed robot, a two-headed three-armed alien, and a fellow human girl.






Kept me laughing for hours, and I loved all of the characters. Another book for the favorites list.

The Golems eye by Jonathan Stroud


The Bartimaeus Trilogy

The Golem's Eye

by Jonathan Stroud


Nathaneil breaks his promise of never again summoning Bartimaeus, only three years after their small adventure. Now high up in the government, Nathaniel needs help to impress the officials and get a higher rank. As he struggles to reach the top, a young girl named Kitty Jones joins the picture.
