    What did you think of Raiders from the Sea, Adalin?

    The King of Attolia: 387 (brilliant as always!)

    The Queen of Attolia: 368 (ditto!)

    The Thief: 219

    Days of Toil and Tears: 219

    Coal Miner’s Bride: 219 (Boring. Bad morals. And terribly, terribly predictable.)

    Waking Rose: 350 (YAAAAY. Yup, it’s as wonderful as everyone says it is. Almost. ;))

    How to Develop Your Child’s Temperament: 163 (So I have odd tastes in nonfiction.)

    No One Cares What You Had For Lunch: 122

    The Silver Chair: 257

    Derwood, Inc: 272 (Plot: Average; Writing: Somewhat annoying; Characters: splendid, wonderful, excellent.)

    Raiders from the Sea: 208 (nothing terribly memorable, but I liked it enough to read the others)

    The Penderwicks on Gardam Street: 320 (still super predictable, but better than the first book)

    Total so far: 6128. (Pathetical. Blame it on summer school, I suppose :P)

    I liked it. My main problem was it had a cliff hanger ending. The characters were realistic. The writing style was average, nothing spectacular. But it was good aver all. I will definetly try to read the rest of the series.

    *returns from vacation*

    The Bible: The New Testament (KJV) 411 pages

    What can I say?

    Lord Foulgrin’s Letters by Randy Alcorn 192 pages

    I picked this up because of it’s somewhat impressive cover and because my family once sold a book to this author, and, it turns out that this man can not write properly. And, it’s a Christian book featuring a few things that I don’t believe. ;)

    Horrible Histories: The Terribly Tutors and The Slimy Stuarts by Terry Deary, Neil Tonge, and Martin Brown 251 pages

    Some language and graphic violence. History at its horriblest. Aka, all the nasty bits left in. Quick read and –oh so!– interesting. If you like knowing what people did for diseases and all that nasty stuff.

    The Prophet of Yonwood by Jeanna DePrau 289 pages

    The third book of Ember, not as intertesting as the others, and she brought too much into the story that didn’t really have anything to do with the story, don’t ya know. The journal, Hoyt McCoy, and so on had nothing to do with the story, and yet…they where there. I suspect this is something writers are taught not to do in preschool. *tut-tuts*
