DragonFire by Donita K. Paul 346 pages
I didn’t like the plot here, mostly because of the quiss, to much quiss talk in the last one, not near enough here. It could have used some help. I only really enjoyed the last several hundred pages. Once Bardon got the stakes and there on after I mostly liked it. And okay book.

DragonLight by Donita K. Paul 377 pages
No, I’m not going to butcher this book, Mrs. Paul did a pretty good job here. Atleast, I think so now, if I ever bother to read this book again I’ll likely murder it; till then I am under the impression that it was good. Somethings where a bit confusing and my Mother and sister are right, she goes by things way too fast. I keep having to close the book every little while and process things.
Such fun.Running Total: 5,333

MemberThree Men in a Boat…to say nothing of the Dog (Jerome), 135 pages. This book was crazy, jumping from one strange topic to another, leaving the reader dazzled and scratching his head. But I liked it.

I’ve always loved it too…
The Tale of Despereaux: Being the Story of a Mouse, a Princess, Some Soup, and a Spool of Thread by Kate DiCamillo 267 pages
This book comes in four parts (not including the page marked “Coda”) and though they are not nearly as interestingly titled as Lewis Carrol’s The Hunting of the Snark: A Book in Eight Fits they are “Book the First”, “Book the Second” and so on, which sounds nice.
And makes no sense I’m sure.
This is, before you get any ideas, a romance. *coughcough* And is undoubtedly tragic; and there is no happily ever after at the end. The style is that of a old Granny sitting next to the fire telling stories to heavy eyed children and Kate DiCamillo obviously likes words. My favorite part is where Desperaux’s mother is calling “farewell” in French. Infact, I like that whole scene. Good stuff.Running Total: 5,600
