Code (audio)

I thoroughly enjoyed this addition to the Virals series. The stakes are higher than before. This time, the mystery was more intense. The character building was great in this one and the conclusion had me shook. I was not expecting such a delightful book!

Heroes Of The Valley
by Jonathan Stroud

View in Library Catalog



Halli Sveinsson is the young son of Arnkel Sveinsson, head of the viking house aptly called "Svein's House," and brother of the man he views as the most annoying git in the entire valley. However, after a series of events following a minor practical joke result in his uncle's murder at the hands of Olaf Hakonsson, Halli sets off for revenge. He encounters a number of (unsavory and otherwise) characters on his journey, including a paranoid old hermit, an irritatingly greedy merchant, and a rather helpful, albeit confused farmer. Upon reaching the castle of Hakon's house, Halli proceeds to decide against murdering the currently sick Olaf, who nevertheless pursues Halli throughout the castle, accidentally catches his trousers on fire, and suffocates when a tapestry falls on him. The man's relatives soon bring an army to Svein's house, and Halli, his father dying, his brother as unimaginative as ever, is forced to lead the defense of his home.

The Story Keeper

This is an excellent read. Find a page turning novel full of culture and history. This is set in the Appalachian mountains and relates a story of triumph and breaking racial and cultural barriers.

The Beginner's guide pastels
by Angela Gair

View in Library Catalog



While this book was interesting to read, it was not a fun read. I did not like the layout of the book. It was just not quite what I like to read. It was all about different types of pastels and supplies and it used people's pastel works to show you how to do different things. It was just not entertaining to read.

The Hideway By Laura Denton

Wonderful story of going home full circle and discovering stories that you never knew about loved ones. I loved the characters and their little Alabama town.

The Tales Of Beedle The Bard
by J.k. Rowling

View in Library Catalog



This book is very entertaining and interesting. The writing isn't wonderful but how the story takes you into another world that you can't (and don't want to) escape from is wonderful! The Albus Dumbledore comments on the stories are also very amusing and entertaining. This book will take you on a magical adventure!

Airman
by Eoin Colfer

View in Library Catalog



Conor Broekhart was, quite literally born in the sky. Literally: in a hot-air balloon. A citizen of the Saltee islands, Conor is under the rule of the wise and innovative King Nicholas, a friend of Conor's mentor, the French visionary Victor Vigny. However, both men are murdered by the treacherous Hugo Bonvilain, a militaristic Templar who dreams of the Saltee crown. He tells the world of Conor's brave demise, but imprisons the hapless boy, who spends years planning and enacting an escape plan. He vacates the prison and must fly to safety. After a short while, the mysterious figure called the "Airman" is seen, raiding the prison he had so recently escaped. Conor soon learns of a plot by Bonvilain to assassinate Declan and Catherine Broekhart, Conor's parents, as well as the princess, Isabella, Conor's childhood friend. Using his innovative wingsuit, Conor must rescue those he loves before Bonvilain destroys them all.

Leonardo da vinci (audiobook)
by Walter isaacson

Sixteen hours of strong information. It's a hard book to get through but well worth it. Analyzing EVERYTHING they can about Leonardo and his paintings, it does become interesting. I do reccomend to lovers of history, art history, and curious facts. The deep voice of the reader is soothing, too.

A pictoral approach: the Anatomy of the Horse
by Way and Lee

View in Library Catalog



Now, this book is definitely older as it was published in 1983 or so, but I do wish the sketched were colored. Filled to the brim with graphite sketches, the anatomy of the horse explores the inside of a horse. Skeletal, vernacular, and muscular as well as from several angles each, every piece of a horse's body is examined. I did end up enjoying this book however. I reccomend it for anyone that enjoys learning about the inside workings of a horse.

Kent State
by Deborah Wiles

View in Library Catalog



This YA novel explores the Kent State protests and the wounding and killing of several students by the National Guard. The narrative is explored by several points of view (in different fonts to make it easy to distinguish). Short but powerful, this book is eerily timely.
