Bookssss

I thought I posted this a while ago, but the servers (or something) were messed up, so we couldn't post new entries. Anyway.

I finished two more books! I finally finished Wicked, by Gregory Macguire, and just last night I finished The Awakening, by Kelly Armstrong.

I liked 90% of Wicked. The first 90%, to be specific. It was the same issue I had with Gunslinger, actually. It was a normal plot for most of the book, and then bam! Philosophy. Not really what I wanted. I think that the Wizard being her father was meant to be more of a shock. Even though I haven't seen the play, I'm much more familiar with that version of the story because I know the music so well. It was.. really not the same story. :<

As for The Awakening, I still really like this series. (The Summoning being the first book.) Trilogy, I suppose. Technically. But it's about a group of kids from age 15ish - 16ish who all have some sort of magical power. It's aimed at highschoolers. But I really like them! They're super enjoyable to read. There's one book left, The Reckoning, I believe. Ellie owns it, and she's gonna loan it to me as soon as she can.

This brings my total book count up to 35.
