The Vikings

That has the worst Christians ever

So I know I am not the only Homeschooling Christian that likes the Vikings off the History Channel out there. And I gotta say, Athelstan is a terrible Christian, every question that I could answer he is stumped on.
Like why did God let this happen? Maybe it was a test for you, to test your faith in Him. Seriously, bad things happen to good people, but if we are never falling, and just standing at the edge of the cliff, where is our faith that will make us jump when we have too?

Happy Birthday to me!


Happy birthday to me! Today I got a 4th Doctor scarf from my favorite Doctor Who, and a Polyproplene practice sword to sword fight with-yay! well, thanks to my mom who went through labor on today for me, and my twin brother. Love you all and God Bless!

Which Witch? By Eva Ibbotson


Which Witch is a funny little tale, meant for the age group of 12-14. It was easy reading, and made me laugh quite a bit.

It is about a witch named Belladonna, whom is a white witch. But she desperately wants to be a black witch. And when Arriman the Awful wants a bride, Belladonna wishes she could be she. But they are having a contest. And the one with the blackest magic is the one that will win. And Belladonna can’t even turn a typewriter into a nest of vipers-how could she possibly do a deed blacker then any of the other witches?

Review on: Across the Nightingale Floor

Book by: Lian Hearn


Across the nightingale floor was a magical tale that kept me captivated. Lian did a wonderful job at describing elegant, magically enticing scenes. Though in the ending, I had to throw the book across the room, angered at what had happened.
Age group: 16+
POV: first person past tense.
Plot: A boy from among the Hidden, a culture of no war and peace comes back from gathering mushrooms in the woods to find all of his family, and everyone in the village murdered. The murderer, still in the town, Mino, Iida the warlord. After escaping his from him and running into the woods he meets someone else: Otori Shigeru. Shigeru helps the boy escape, and brings him to his home, and renames him Takeo, after Shigeru’s brother, who has recently died. Takeo has greater powers then he realized, he has supper human hearing, and wasn’t just part of the Hidden, is also part of the Tribe. An elite group of assassins that kill for the highest bidding. But Takeo doesn’t care about the Tribe, all he wants is to seek revenge on the Warlord Iida for killing his mother, step father, and step sister.

Reading


I like to read, I like to read a lot. Big books, little books, small books, tall books. Good books, bad books, scary books, nice books.

And I really have NO idea why my post turned into a Dr. Seuss book up there! Anyway. I do love to read, and am doing "Blogging for Books" and trying to apply for Booksneeze. I love to get books at garage sales, book sales, or at the store. I also like the books you can't get at your local B&N, which include Prydian Chronicles, Iron Codex, any Tamora Pierce book out there, Swan Maiden, Daughter of Prophecy.
I am going to post a review on a book on the next post, and thought I would tell you what i was interested in encase you were too.
