Gosh, it's been a long time since I've posted anything here! That's because I was sort of drifting away to my other blog, thegraphicbee. But I visited the library today, and that's when I decided to post something here.
So I got some books out. I haven't started reading them, but I'll post the cover blurbs here:
Princess Academy - Shannon Hale
Miri lives in a poor, quiet mountain village. But just before winter's first snowfall, a group of strangers arrives with an exciting message. The King's priests have divined that Miri's small village is home to the future princess.
All girls over the age of twelve must leave their families behind to live in a special academy and learn the ways of a princess. Miri has to go, but there is no way she can prepare herself for what awaits ...
What I think: I think this is going to be a great read, and what's more is that it promises a twist. Awesome!
Angel - Cliff McNish
Two girls are inextricably linked by destiny, not choice ...
Stephanie is friendless, strange, a misfit.
Freya can't stop seeing angels.
But when one of those angels begins to stalk her, its shadow following her everywhere, Freya is forced to make decisions with a devastating reach - and from which there is no turning back.
What I think: Well, The Times has called it "an outstanding prose", so that pretty much sums it up for me!
Cathy's Book - Stewart/Weisman/Brigg
[Well, it's one of those books that have no blurbs, but anyways, I don't think I'll read it, I've just taken it out because I like the design of the book (it reflects a magazine I designed last year)]
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand ...
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring - J. R. R. Tolkien
Almost everyone knows what this book is about. And I've finally started to read it. And I will finish reading it. I've taken this book out three times before, and just returned without leafing through it. [With The Hobbit, I read some chapters before keeping it down. Oh well, we can all just watch the movie!]
