GUYS. If you will please forgive me for not writing anything for a million years because my life has been absolutely insane. Here I am!
Alright, so I've done a lot of reading since I last talked to you. I quite awhile ago finished The Forgotten Locket by Lisa Mangum, and thus the whole Hourglass Door trilogy. Dang, that is some good stuff! Congratulations on an excellent debut trilogy. I'll be honest, the story is so complicated and confusing sometimes that it's super hard to connect all the books together. It might take some work to keep the story straight. But it was waaaaay bomb. Here are my reviews for The Hourglass Door, The Golden Spiral, and The Forgotten Locket.
So after that, I read Christmas at Harrington's by Melody Carlson and did a school book project on it. This book was published in 2010 and my mom bought for me when I got my Kindle a million years ago because there was some great deal on it. It's about Lena Markham, who was just released from prison and lost friends and faith (which gave me hope because that meant the book had some substance) and moves to New Haven for a new beginning, where she meets a lot of people and gets a new opportunity that reawakens hope in her. It was a book I was totally ashamed to read (I mean, really, a Christmas book?) and my friend totally mocked me for reading it (He wants me to read Fablehaven so bad) but I can tell you that it was good enough. I can tell you that it was like a Hallmark movie: cute and slow and entertaining enough and low-quality but like in a cute way. The full review for Christmas at Harrington's here.
And now that that is over, I am reading the Sherlock Holmes series! And by the series I mean whatever Sherlock Holmes books I have on hand, because it is a never-ending series a million years long. So I'm really only going to read The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (the third one) because that is the one I have on my Kindle. Sadly I cannot find an original publication date because it is a classic but we all know about Sherlock because he is so popular in today's culture. Narrated by his colleague Dr. Watson, these are the stories of the observant Sherlock Holmes and how he solves everyone's problems. Bro, it's really fun to read. He is a genius. Since Sherlock is so popular a person would think they know everything about his character, but I think it's a different and super awesome experience to read about the original Sherlock. I love it!
Love ya, mean it!
