Getting a new book!!

     Hello, my viewers! I have just received a notice from Goodreads.com that I will be acquiring a new book to read and review!!! It is a science fiction book called Lunar Dust, Martian Sands by Tom Chmielewski. This book sounds very interesting. Seems like a few government and corporate officials are getting greedy!!!

Melody Jackson and the House on Lafayette Street by B.M.B. Johnson

     Ok, so maybe I lied. I finished the book this evening (I got a free electronic copy of this from the author who was giving them away randomly to people who had entered his free signed giveaway on Goodreads.com). I was sucked into the world and couldn't get out... Honestly, I was!!! Well this evening, or night, or morning, I am reviewing Melody Jackson and the House on Lafayette Street by B.M.B. Johnson. This book was fantastic! The diction was superb, I have never read a book meant for a young audience that has a plethora of perfect word choices. I am absolutely thrilled! The world and characters that Johnson creates are zany and quirky! Johnson takes a fresh, creative, and even hysterically comedic view of mythical, extraterrestrial, and paranormal life. The whole book is riddled with suspense, a little tragedy here and there, a bit of horror and terror, as well as humor in the worst situations. I find this book more than satisfactory, it is astonishing! I found the interaction between adults and children very satisfying. It is very hard to find a book these days that has a parent-child relationship as amiable as this one. Overall this book is taking the new and turning it upside-down, putting it in a blender and taking out a unique aproach to the world. Therefore, I give this book five stars! You can find more reviews at https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/22441997-melody-jackson-and-the-house-on-lafayette-street?ac=1. I hope you find this review helpful in your consideration to read this book.

Update on Origami Book

     Hey!!! So pumped up XD!! Just received Origami to Astonish and Amuse: Over 400 Original Models, Including Such "Classics" as the Chocolate Covered Ant, the Transvestite Puppet, the Invisible Duck, and Many Many More! in the mail yesterday! Got the chance to glance through it last night, looks totally awesome! Cannot wait to try out some of the folding that is in there ^w^! Before I post a review I'll try folding all of the art in it. So the review may take a while, sorry about that!

Reading 'Melody Jackson and the House on Lafayette Street'

     Two days ago I received an invitation from an author on Goodreads.com. I was told that B.M.B. Johnson, the author of Melody Jackson and the House on Lafayette Street, was giving random people electronic versions of his book in exchange for a review on goodreads in three weeks. I full on jumped at the chance of reading this book, mostly because I found the description very intriguing. I am now over two thirds done with this book, even though I do not like reading off of an electronic device (If I had printed it out my printer would have killed me in my sleep, T^T  not even mentioning what my wallet would have done). I will have finished this book by tomorrow and most probably post a review a few days after I finish. Honestly, I would LOVE to read and review more of B.M.B. Johnson's books or future books. I will be reading any other sequels to this particular book (As soon as they are available at the Library. I can't afford to buy any books at the moment TT^TT).

The Redwall Series by Brian Jacques

     Today I am reviewing the Redwall series. I did not recieve any of these books from goodreads, unfortunately. I would have loved to get some of these books for free. However, getting back to this particular series, I found this particular series of books amazing! The poems and riddles are engaging and keep you guessing until the solution is presented. The action bits are usually fast pace and make you want to jump up and down in hyper excitement (which I am not ashamed to say that I actually did... Several times... ^w^). The characters are well rounded and the villains are all deliciously evil. This series is perfect for fifth graders and up. The only problem I have with this series is that the plot lines are all very similar to each other, therefore, I give this particular series four stars. You can read more reviews at https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/16038973-the-redwall-collectionI hope that you find this review helpful in your consideration to read these books.

Blog Uses

     I'll be using this blog to write reviews over certain books that I obtain from Goodreads.com. I was just notified today that I will be receiving two books; Origami to Astonish and Amuse: Over 400 Original Models, Including Such "Classics" as the Chocolate-Covered Ant, the Transvestite Puppet, the Invisible Duck, and Many More! as well as Scattered Voices: A Collection of Poems Shared by Strangers on the Internet. I am very thrilled to be getting these particular books because I have dabbled in the art of origami and I am also a poet. Now all I have to do is wait for the books to come in! ^w^

Total Noob

     So... I just created this blog and I have no Idea how to work it... I guess I'll have to figure that out on my own... Which is normally what I do, because reading the instructions takes all the fun out of life and I honestly want to live to the best of my ability!!!
