I am reading a book called "Wild Magic" its about this person named Daine has special magic that she can talk to animals. She goes with this person named Onua and they travel to this place called Tortall. While they are traveling they come upon weird creatures that don't exist. Well they fight these creatures and attack them. I'm at a part where they reach their destination and that's all I can tell you. It's a good book you should read it.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you are reading Vaughn. You're pretty close to the Sabula library. I think Ms. Horst has the high school library open for checkout some days too. I am reading another book by John Barnes called Directive 51. Not a catchy title, but the story is about homegrown terrorists who somehow get mixed up in a plot with Arab terrorists to destroy our country. It is good so far. Keep reading everyone!
ReplyDeleteI'm reading The Last Song by Nicholas Sparks. It's a pretty good love story type book. Hows your summer been Mrs.Gruhn?
ReplyDeleteI'm reading a book called Sweep. I'm not sure who its by though.
ReplyDeleteHello from Mrs. Gruhn, your "old" English teacher. By this time, you're back to school in some way, shape, or form. I hope you had a good summer. I hope it included reading something for fun. I read a lot, but I played a lot too. That's always good. I'll check this blog now and then in case any of you wander back here and have something to share that I should read. Or something you want to talk about. I may see you around if they call me to sub. Have a wonderful new school year!
