Hi my name is Amanda. I love to read. I repeat, I love to read. When I get home I go straight to the books not the TV. My most very very very favorite type of book is (suspensing music here) Mystery’s! I like them because they keep you thinking. Sometimes I start thinking about a book I’m reading and I don’t even know it. Mysteries are fun to figure out.

The last mystery I solved was in a series called The Land of Eylon Series. Book 1: T he Dark Hills Divide. The second book is Beyond The Valley of Thorns. The third book is The Tenth City. I was so sad when I finished reading the last book. I tried to email the author and tell him to write more and fast. The squirrel Murphy was hyper like Hamie the squirrel, Yipes the short guy, Worvald the city’s wise man, Alexa the main character. They keep you on the edge of your seat the whole time. When an important character in the book dies I almost cried it is funny, scary, sad, and most of all happy. Alexa the girl in the book wanted a way outside the wall. When she found one she ventured out and found out she was glad to have the great walls of Bridwell around her.. She sets out on a dangerous journey but will she make it home safely. Find out for yourself. Follow Alexa through the dangerous journey in first The Dark Hills Divide THEN The Valley Of Thorns LAST BUT NOT LEAST The Tenth City.

This year I really want to make the 20 book deadline for the Mark Twain Books. I did it last year. It was so fun. I loved it. All the books were so good. If I don’t make the deadline I will still read the whole list and take the quizzes. All the books look fun to read and I am itching to read them all. I am so going to read them all. Last year I would read all night long just to figure out the end of a book. I do that pretty often. I turned down seeing Pirates Of The Caribbean because I was reading a Mark Twain book. I finally got to see it. So I am pumped about Mark Twain books.
