Tales of the Month

Hello faeries!

Another Tales of the Month is in order. Whatcha think about that, aren't you excited???! XD :P

The False Prince by Jennifer A. Nielson

The book is about: Sage has been an orphan all his life; there were never any opportunities to do anything that could change the world. But that all changed when Conner, a nobleman, comes and takes him away. Conner says there is a way to stop the war that is surely to come if the king dies. But this way is not the most honest path to take. Conner wants Sage and some other orphans to compete for the role of being the king's long lost son. This grand scheme involves layers upon layers of treachery and deceit, and if Conner's plan works, than the truth must never get out.  

This book was so enjoyable. Even if I read it before and remember the ending quite well, I was still in suspense with all the action that was happening. And Sage is very clever and humorous character so that made the book even more likable. :D

I can't wait to continue the series! ^.^

Mister Monday by Garth Nix

The book is about: A young boy named Arthur was meant to die an early death. But a key shaped like a minute hand was given to him and Arthur lived. Someone with evil intentions is also wanting to get their hands on the key. Their name is Mister Monday, who lives in another land full of strange and magical things, and he will stop at nothing to claim that key. Arthur has to go to the land that Mister Monday is from to save himself and possibly the entire world. 

I was kinda at lost for which books to get from the library a couple of weeks ago. One of the most horrible problems in the world. Not knowing which book to read. XD So I was just wandering around the same bookshelves again and again, until I spotted this book, Mister Monday. I knew my brother, Josiah, read this book and most of the series and he enjoyed it. *shrugs* So I thought I'd give it a go. 

Let me tell you... it was very confusing. XD Like it had cool confusing stuff in there. But I just didn't really get the rules of the magical land... Josiah said that it gets less confusing as the series goes on. So! That means I need to keep reading The Keys to the Kingdom series!!! XD  I think I enjoyed the book, but I feel like I won't be able to properly form an opinion on it until I read more of the series. 

Talons of Power by Tui T. Sutherland

This book is about: Turtle thinks the best plan for everything is to hide and let someone else be the rescuer. I mean, he would probably just mess it up, right? Then all of a sudden a huge, evil threat comes to his world. And it seems like Turtle is the only one who notices it. Does that mean he is the only one with the power to stop it? Will Turtle have enough courage to finally play the hero? 

This book was so awesome!!!!!! The characters were the best things ever!!!!!!!!! XD I loved the action scenes at the end so so much. Reading this book from Turtle's point of view was hilarious. XD He kept making comparisons to characters in the books he reads to himself. :P It was great! :D

If you haven't read The Wings of Fire, then what are you doing?* It's, like, one of the best dragon series I know! XD

*Did anybody catch that DanTDM reference? XD

Sorry that I hadn't read a lot of books to talk about this time round! Hopefully, this month I'll read more that I feel like talking about! 

If you have any suggestions on what kinds of books I should read and talk about on here, please let me know!

Oodles of Doodles!

Oh my goodness, guys!!! I can't believe I didn't post last week. DX I wrote down this whole post and I set a time for it to go up and it didn't get published. I am so sorry. I did not even check to see if it had gone up at all during the week. Gah! D: Here's the post I would have posted last week.

And I also want to say before I start the post... Happy Thanksgiving to all my American faeries!!! I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. :3

[I added the words and frame but I did not take the picture of the lined paper. Here's the source.]

That's right! I doodle. Quite often, actually. I usually start doodling in school when I'm getting bored. :P I haven't done as much doodling in school this year as I did last year but, still, I can't help but do it every now and then. XD 

I did these doodles when I should have been doing science. Oops. XD 

As you can see, I like doodling faces most of the time in school. I like trying new eyes all the time.

This is, again, during science so please excuse the random equations. :P

Sometimes my faces look like they could be the same person but with different expressions. Like the face on the bottom right on the picture above this one and the face on the right on this picture look like they are the same person.*

*I don't think I meant to have that happen. XD

I sometimes draw in red pen when I'm doing school because it's fun and bright. :D I did just about all of these doodled faces in one sitting.* XD I think these are some of my favorite faces I've doodled this year.

*Guess you can tell I was bored. :P

I have this notebook with a sleeping cat on the cover and I think I got it when I was around ten years old. And I named it my "doodle book." And I took family gatherings all the time when I was younger.*

And, anyway, I doodled this in my doodle book. It was a really quick drawing and I didn't care much about how it looked in the end. :P It's a drawing of the new set of main characters in The Wings of Fire series. I had felt like drawing them in chibi human form. And that's what happened.

From left to right is: Winter, Moon, Kinkajou, and Qibli.

*XD I still do. It's perfect when you don't want to talk to anybody. :P

Here's another quick doodle. :) It's just of some random girl I came up with.

I drew this during my youth's Bible study last week. XD I really like the way the smiley face on the top right looks.

I felt like drawing a person crying because I don't do it that much and I need the practice.

Sorry that this is such a short post with more pictures than words. I just don't have any words really to say. :( Sorry again.

Do you guys doodle much? If you do, where do you doodle the most? In church? School? Somewhere else entirely?
