Hey.
Please accept me deepest apologies.
It's stupid. I kinda gave up on this blog not that long ago, well, a little longer than a short time ago. Not that I wanted to... I just forgot about it and my life got beyond crazy. So, now I'm finally getting around to doing a post and I feel bad. I will attempt to make it through this post without stopping.
This is a book review post, I guess. I kinda just decided that. And the book is..... The Ranger's Apprentice by John Flanagan. I think you'll like it.
Book: The Ranger's Apprentice: The Ruins of Gorlan (Book 1)
Author: John Flanagan
To sum it all up: The Rangers were always mysterious and people tended to avoid them, for they thought that they had magic. Halt the Ranger of Remount showed up at the ceremony where apprentices are chosen; he hasn't been see there, well, ever. Will's friends are all chosen for apprenticeships, but he's not. Halt left a letter with the Baron and Will wants to know what it says, maybe it can change his future.
After sneaking across the yard and climbing the tower, risking injury and punishment, Will gets to the letter. Before he is able to read it, Halt grabs him and he is caught. Though, the letter can change his fate and his future and it does. The Ranger's Apprentice has a nice ring to it, don't you think? Lucky Will, for getting to take on that title.
Training with bows and knives, doing a large amount of housework, and putting up with the strait-faced ranger from the legends is a little more that Will expected. But the work pays off and his training gets him remembered and noticed by must in the area.
What I thought: I really liked it. The story was great and I wanted to know what would happen. It's a fun story and not to bizarre like some of the books I've read. It's a small book and it if definitely worth reading if you get around to it.
Genre: Action? Adventure?
Setting: The Ruins of Gorlan, Castle Redmount
# of pages: 249
Who's it for: Middle school, for sure
Warnings: None.
Other books with it: Alot. It's like, an eleven book series.
My star rating: 4 stars. (remember my rating can be kinda high or low)
So, that's about it. I'm glad I had time for this and I hope you'll accept me back as a blogger.
Love and arrows,

Eragon

When the rock turns out to be a more interesting find that Eragon expected. Eragon goes on an adventure through all of Alagaësia trying to find a safe haven from the people who thirst for the possession of the rock. Without giving much away, Eragon meets a friend named Brom.

I Am Number Four
Hi. Josh here. I am so sorry. Life has been busy; I have been forgetful.... sorry for the absence of posts recently. Good news is, after all the diagrams, research, and other things, I have a vague idea were Mr. Fluffy is back in time. So, I am happy, and I am trying to get him back. Anyway, book review. I Am Number Four.
They killed number one in Malaysia, number two in England, and number three in Kenya. I am number four... Written in first person, this is a really good book. From the planet Lorien, John or number four, along with other Loriens came to Earth. They came because the Magadorians destroyed Lorien, but they escaped, and now they are Lorien and Earth's last hope. The first book of a so far, seven book series.
What I thought: It was really good, and I liked the idea of the legacies they develop, which are super powers that they get when they are older.
Warnings: There is quite a bit of swearing in it, and, I don't know if this is a warning, but there is also a lot of romance.
Rating: 3.5 or 4
God Bless,
Josh
