Books I love

HI EVERONE!!! The Library Elf here! Here are two book series that I love to death!!!!!

1: The Dragonkeeper Chronicles by Donita K. Paul.
This is one of myfavorite books of all time! You will really like these books if you like dragons. (Yes, I mean you Dark Rayven)!




Here is the description for the first book:


Once a slave, Kale is given the unexpected opportunity to become a servant to Paladin. Yet this young girl has much to learn about the difference between slavery and service.
A small band of Paladin's servants rescue Kale from danger but turn her from her destination: The Hall, where she was to be trained. Feeling afraid and unprepared, Kale embarks on a perilous quest to find the meech dragon egg stolen by the foul wizard Risto. First, she and her comrades must find Wizard Fenworth. But their journey is threatened when a key member of the party is captured, leaving the remaining companions to find Fenworth, attempt an impossible rescue, and recover the egg whose true value they have not begun to suspect...
Weaving together memorable characters, daring adventure, and a core of eternal truth, Dragonspell is a finely crafted and welcome addition to the corpus of fantasy fiction.


Here are the other four books:











2: The door Within Trilogy by Wayne Thomas Batson.
This is such a good series I just can't get enough of them!



Book one:
Aidan Thomas is miserable. And it's much more than the strange nightmares he's been having. Just when life seemed to be coming together for Aidan, his parents suddenly move the family across the country to take care of his wheelchair-bound grandfather. When strange events begin to occur, Aidan is drawn into his grandfather's basement where he discovers three ancient scrolls and an invitation to another world.
No longer confined to the realm of his own imagination, Aidan embarks on an adventure where he joins them in the struggle between good and evil. With the fate of two worlds hanging in the balance, Aidan faces Paragory, the eternal enemy. Will Aidan be willing to risk everything and trust the unseen hand of the one true King? The answer comes from The Door Within.

And the other two books:





Hope you enjoy them!!!

Two More

Salutations all worms!!! Here are two more scrumptious books to look up and read. Since I just did a review, I'll just give you the titles and authors of the books and then you can have the adventure of finding out the stories for yourselves.

Dragon's Egg by Sarah L. Thomson

Have a delicious time and try not to drool at their tastiness!!!

The Squire, His Knight, & His Lady

Hello my little gnats!! Or is it maggots...? Whichever squirmy creature it is, greetings all the same!!! This is a wonderful book written by Gerald Morris. It is only one of a series, but the lovely thing about his books is that each one is its own story and not just a follow-up of another. This book is set in the times of King Arthur and the main character is a young man named Terence who is a squire to the knight, Sir Gawain. One day at a feast in the castle, a green giant rides in with a challenge for the knights of the Round Table. Gawain takes up the challenge and sets off on the quest with his squire in tow. Along the way, they pick up the spunky Lady Eileen, and her and Terence soon fall in love. They travel to the Otherworld, where they find out who Terence really is, and encounter many challenges and strange creatures along the way. It is well written, and has an enjoyable mixture of light humor and dark wit. Look this book up at the nearest library, and be sure to check out his other books as well, especially the book, The Savage Damsel. That is the first book that I read of this series and it is still my favorite. Now I am off to my dazzling dreams and fantastic worlds!!! Farewell my slimy newts!!

Sequel To: Nobody's Princess; Nobody's Prize by Esther Friesner


It is the continuing story of Helen of Troy!!!
With all new adventures, and more new friends. She won't stop at nothing to gain what a girl just can't seem to have, especially a royal one, Freedom. There were a few strange things I will admit. But it was a good ending to the tale the author Esther Friesner brings to the legend of Helen of Troy, what happens between all the other stories that are told about her through the ages? Yet again such a good book that I couldn't put it down, it seemed to give me extra energy at night just to keep reading it, of course all books end eventually, so sadly you can't keep reading it forever.Especially when you should be doing your chores!

Nobody's Princess by Esther Friesner


I really really enjoyed this book. And even though I just finished it last night, or maybe it was very early this morning? Who knows? But I definitely wasn't looking at the clock.I would read it again.
It is about Lady Helen, from the Bronze age in Greece. If you like Greek mythology then you probably already know that she was considered the most beautiful woman. What the author points out though in the end when the story of this book has ended is that from all of the other stories told about Lady Helen is, that much of her actual story remains untold. I would recommend this book to any one who likes the inside tale of someone that much is said, but that you still have questions about.
I look forward to reading, Nobody's Prize, the continuing story. But for now I suppose that I'll just have to remain content telling you about this current book. I don't want to say to much or otherwise there would be no point in you picking up the book for yourself and delving into the tale. So I'll leave you with that choice reader.

The Hobbit by J.R.R Tolkien


The book with many an adventure told, and of so many that are of the times of old. Before many men had been in the land.
I enjoyed this book tremendously, and would recommend it to any one who loves such fantasy tales. Even to those who have already read this book, I am sure that there could be something new that you would find in reading it yet again.
For those that no nothing of this tale it is about Hobbits of course. Which are a very small folk, shorter than dwarves, who never like to go on adventures. But of this tale there is one Hobbit who does take an adventure, which would only be a short explanation for in this adventure there are many more adventures wrapped into its solitary title of adventure. His name is Bilbo Baggins, a very respectable hobbit among his folk before his going away, for hobbits are a quiet peaceful type that always stick close to home.
So for Bilbo it was never quite the same upon his return.
And here be an example, a quote from the journey:

"Roads go ever on,
Over rock and under tree,
By caves where never sun has shone,
By streams that never find the sea;
Over snow by winter sown,
And through the merry flowers of June,
Over grass and over stone,
And under mountains in the moon.


Roads go ever on
Under cloud and under star,
Yet feet that wandering have gone
Turn at last to home afar.
Eyes that fire and sword have seen
And horror in the halls of stone
Look at last on meadows green
And trees and hills they long have known."

a poem by Mr. Bilbo Baggins written in spoken form when almost at last was finally home.
