Betsy and Tacy!!!

The Betsy and Tacy books are a series of 10 well written by by Maud Hart Lovelace.
They are absolutely delightful adn fun to read.
The first book starts when Betsy and Tacy are 6 I'm pretty sure and the illestrations get better only once you get to "Heaven to Betsy" (delightful book by the way).
I grabbed this from the wikipedia: The Betsy-Tacy series is a collection of books written by Maud Hart Lovelace between 1940 and 1955. The books are written at progressively more difficult reading levels as the characters age. They follow the adventures of Betsy Ray and her friends and family from the time that Betsy turns five until she is in her early twenties. They take place in the very late 19th and early 20th centuries.

I've been reading

Heaven to Betsy, Betsy in Spite of Herself and Betsy was a Junior over the last 2 weeks or so.
I had read the other books before but I hadn't read Heaven to Betsy or any of the folowing titles.
Heaven to Betsy, Betsy in Spite of Herself and
Betsy was a Junior are all funny and good books to read. I L♥VE Jo Willard and Cab, and Tony and Herbet Hunphreys. (who wouldn't??????)
The only problem with Betsy and Tacy are that they are out of print books. *bangs fist on table really hard in anger* and so they are very hard to get!!
I want to have a cooetion when I have my own daughters whom I can share these wonderful books with.
And now that I've finished Betsy was a Junior I can read......... Betsy and Jo!!!

If you didn't geuss I have a crush on Jo Willard!!!

God Bless

Books I have been reading and books I read last year.

Okay here are some of the books I have been reading/read last year and this year.

I started the books of Bayern by Shannon Hale in the last few weeks. I restarted it after second thoughts at a particular part with a handkerchief. I finished the 
 

Goose Girl and I've now finished all of them.
Eden read them before i did and I might add when she gets herself stuck in a book its hard to even get her attention until repeating her name several times!!!
Does anyone else find Seila and her friends unceasingly annoying and down right nasty, spiteful and a whole lot of other things i could add but will not.
I found the Goose Girl a little boring at the start but as it got closer to the end it got more interesting.

Enna Burning had a much faster start then the Goose Girl.
Might i add I have a crush on Finn.☺☺
And then I stop having a crush on him and had a crush on Razo  ☺
 the 2 last books are the best ones! Maybe because Razo's more main?
my rating: 5 out of 5 stars

The Hollow kingdom trilogy
These are great books but they are a little scary.
My favorite out of the three would be 'Close Kin' I love Marak!!!!!
rating: okay for pretty much all of these I'm going to say 5 out of 5 stars. I'm not a great person for ratings. ☺

Inkheart, Inkspell, Inkdeath!!! Wonderful books. Watch out for language though. Not for younger children. Especially the Nightmares! I hate Orpheus!!!!

SUPERB!!! The Rangers Apprentice series is like one of the awesomest series in the world!!!

I L♥ve Will. ☺
Great books watch out for a bit of language here and there though.

Beautiful!!!! I love these books Ned and Ben are so great!! I think that the angels command is my favorite! A little scary for younger children though. Especially Vanderdecken and the creepy old witch in the second book.

The Squires Tales are retellings of King Arthur and his knights. They are great books and I actually got my Dad obsessed with reading them!!!

Ahh! I love these books!! Though I must say i like Shadow of the Bear better. Maybe because its got more of Fish and Rose.
And now i have to wait ages to read 'Waking Rose!!!'

Now these books i am still reading they are better (in my opinion) better then Redwall because they are more fast-paced. i love Parda and Needle and Urchin and Juniper and Crispin....... and the list could continue.
These are great books I suggest you read them.

 i am going to start Urchin and the Raven War probably tonight. Muhahahahah!!!!


God Bless

Muahahaha!!!!!!

 We have the ENTIRE Asterix and Obelix collection of comics.

Muhahahahahaha!!!
Mum isn't a big fan of Asterix and Obelix but, Dad is and so are all of us kids except maybe Corbyn and Arwen.
And whenever we do another set of comics vs. Asterix and Obelix we're like:"Asterix and Obelix TOTALLY!!"
Even Tintin can't compete with these comics.

A good excuse for reading them is to say that they are helping you learn historical stuff. ☺☺☺
 A love a lot of the characters but who couldn't love the characters? Asterix and Obelix are probably the best though ☺ i love it how when they are argu8ing they have huge red noses and then how they always end up forgiving each other.
One of my favourite ones is

Asterix in Britain.
It is so funny!!!
Well, I'd better go now.
Its so fun to brag though! ☺☺☺☺☺


God Bless

Notice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have decided to extend the movie quote quiz until the 18th of this month
I hope you enter it
God Bless

For those who don't know.......

Brian Jacques Died 2 days ago from a heart attack. May He rest in peace.
Although I'm not a very big fan of Redwall I loved his Castaways of the Flying Dutchman.

Again I say, May He Rest in Peace.


God Bless

MQQ again!! Fun!!!

 I've been feeling kind of lately like a MQQ (movie quote quiz) and I've been having all the great quotes which I've been wanting to use to. So anyway

The Rules:

1. Don't look any of the quotes up on the internet, or any other "looking-up" device.

2. Submit your answers in a comment on this post. You may submit as many comments as you need to, depending on when you remember the different quotes.

3. You score one point for every correct answer you submit -that's telling me what movie the quote is from- and you can also earn an extra point by telling me who said the quote!

4. You MAY ask immediate family members (parents, siblings, pets, etc.) for help and you MAY watch a movie again to see if one of the quotes is in it (of course, that would  probably be a waste of time, but whatever :P

Quotes:

1# You smell that? Take a deep breath through the nose.
[Breathes through nose]
Really let that seep in. What are you getting? Because to me, that's part man-smell, and the other part is really bad man-smell. I don't know why, but overall it just smells like the color brown. Your thoughts?"

Its Here!!!

Amon's Adventures is here!!!!
Its here in our house waiting for us to start reading it on the 9th of March.
Why does Lent have to not be here right now? Why do we have to wait until then? Couldn't Lent start sooner?
oh well, I'd better accept it.
I've already read the back and I was a little disappointed that Tabitha and Jotham got married and not Bartholemy and Tabitha. I guess it's 'cause I love Bartholomew's Passage the best. I sure hope he's in it though!!!


God Bless

A.............
