    Icecore, by Matt Whyman – 307 pages
    Here is a great way to some up this book: a waste of time. About a 1/3rd of the way through the book, I was thinking, “Hey, this isn’t to bad…” Well, now, I’m just glad to be done with it! The plot fell apart, I couldn’t follow some of the action scenes, and on top of all of that, there was language… need I say more?

    Horrible Histories: The Measly Middle Ages by Terry Deary — 124 pages
    I think I have, sometime between reading this one and the last one I read, out grown these books. I did not enjoy it as much as I otherwise would, I just kind of raised my eyebrow at it.

    Heartsease by Peter Dickinson — 221 pages
    This book reminded me of the movie The Village and the book The City of Ember. I thought it was well-written and pretty interesting. I did not, however, like the ending. It was kind of disappointing and sad.

    Living by Fiction by Annie Dillard — 175 pages
    My feelings of this book are: it was okay. I mean, maybe it was great but I have a really hard time reading non-fiction. I didn’t enjoy it and had a hard time paying attention to it.

    Another 50 pages of  Star Wars Galaxy of Fear: Eaten Alive. It’s basically a Star Wars horror novel written for children. So yeah, it pretty much stinks. Ha, I have better books to read in teh future.

    I Am The Great Horse, by Katherine Roberts- 401 pages.

    Okay, this book is up on my absolute favorite shelf. It’s so amazing and just how she writes it, it just pulls you in. I so suggest this book.

    Fly by Night by Frances Hardinge — 483 pages
    This is the first book of the year that wasn’t on my to-read list. I want to keep these kinds of books to a limit. :P Anyways, I got nervous when I saw Garth Nix on the back cover of this book saying it was really good (I read Garth Nix’s Mister Monday and it was torture). However, when the author compared a girl’s eyes to peeled grapes on the first page I began to feel a little more confident. The verdict: this a one-time book, I liked it for the most part but I don’t think it is worth a second read.
