Reading Response

8/23 20 min  8/24 40 min  8/25 90 min

     When school began, I had one book that I really wanted to get into: The Last Guardian, the final installment in the Artemis Fowl series. I had waited for the book to come in from Amazon.com, and now I could finally finish the series. It involves the teenage criminal mastermind Artemis Fowl trying to halt the plans of a scheming pixie, with the help of his fairy, centaur, and human friends. However, on August 24, 2012, everything changed. That's the day that The Ring of Sky came in the mail.
     The Ring of Sky is part of the Young Samurai series, and is the last installment in its series as well. It chronicles the story of British teenager Jack Shepard and his adventures in Japan, utilizing both samurai and ninja training to elude his would-be captors. You see, he is on the run, having been declared a fugitive by the Shogun. I tried as hard as i could to stay way from it, but... it turns out I wanted to read it more than The Last Guardian
     They are both excellent reads, and I cant wait to see what happens next.

  1. I kind of love that feeling of being caught between two books you desperately want to read, and I do love getting those lovely packages in the mail. But I want to know more about what makes you want to read them so much, and what you are noticing in your reading.
