By the Book Tag

Although some of you may have wished I quit my blog I haven't. I will hopefully be posting on a more regular basis. I was tagged for this by Rebekah. 
  1. What book is on your nightstand now?
"How to Fight a Dragons Fury" by Cressida Cowell. (Also I don't have a nightstand.)

 2. What was the last truly great book you read?  
 The last truly great book I read was "Of Pirates and Werewolves" by Isaiah T. Silkwood.

3. If you could meet any writer - dead or alive - who would it be? And what would you want to know? I would like to meet J.R.R. Tolkien, but that will have to wait till I get to heaven.

 4. What books might we be surprised to find on your shelves?
"Star Wars 1 2 3" and "5 Minute Marvel Stories". I found these books at a thrift store and I'm saving them for when I have kids. Since I like Star Wars and Marvel. 



 5. How do you organize your personal library?
Just by series.

 6. What book have you always meant to read and haven’t gotten around yet?
"Unfinished Tales" by J.R.R. Tolkien. I have had this book for awhile, but I really want to read it.


7. Anything you feel embarrassed never to have read?
Not really.

 8. Disappointing, overrated, just not good: what book did you feel you are supposed to like but didn’t? "On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness". I heard a lot of good thing about it from a lot of people, but after the prologues I couldn't get into it.

9. Do you remember the last book you put down without finishing?
"The Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness" and "Dare". I do plan on trying "On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness" again.

 10. What kind of stories are you drawn to? Any you stay clear of?
I am drawn to clean magical fantasy. I tend to stay clear of romance and Christian fantasy. I stay clear of Christian fantasy because I can't stand the stories and that isn't what I think of when someone say fantasy. 

 11. If you could require the president to read one book, what would it be? 
The Bible.

 12. What do you plan to read next?
 I plan to read "Unfinished Tales" and "Return of the King" by J.R.R. Tolkien. "Mistborn" by Brandon Sanderson and "The Mysterious Benedict Society" by Trenton Lee Stewart.

Highlighting March.

Image
Wow! March has already marched on. *plays "Imperial March" in the background*  I decided to post about my highlights of March. Here are some of my highlights of this month. Track started!! I decided on a beginning for my book.  We celebrated my brother James' birthday.   We got some new chicks. I got glasses. That actually happened in February though. I found a new (to me) author. His name is Wayne Thomas Batson. These are the books I read this month. "The Magician's Nephew" by C. S. Lewis "The Last Ride" by Susan K. Marlow (For the record my sister and I traded books and this is the one I got. Otherwise I wouldn't have read it.) "An Acceptable Time" by Madeline L'Engle (I haven't finished this one yet.)  I listened to some awesome music this month. Here's some of my favorites.    "My Religion" by Skillet (This song is AWESOME.) "Alone" by Hollyn "The River"

Star Wars: The Force Awakens Review!!!

Image
       It has been thirty years since the destruction of the Empire. The First Order is trying to take control of the galaxy. The only thing standing there way is a small band of Resistance fighters, a scavenger, An ex-soldier, and a pilot. Sex- none Drugs- none Language- 1 D*mn, 1 H*ll, 1H*ll no Nudity- none Violence- Spaceships explode, characters are shot with blasters and punched, cut and stabbed with lightsabers.        Character is shocked. Several explosions.       First of all I want to say this movie is AWSOME!!! I liked that they had the original actors. I also really like the new actors. The action and humor was really good. I do wish that it had more space battles, but the spaceship battles they had were good.       A lot of people I know think Kylo Ren should have kept his helmet or should have been played by a different person. They did not like the actor. I on the other hand thought he was a little young, but other than that I tho
