Hi!

Hello! I'm i_am_bee (aka The Midnight Owl Librarian) and a fellow PNG bookworm :) I have been doing an amazing amount of reading this summer, so just wait, I need to stop reading long enough to write something :D Below is one of my favorite books, by one of my favorite authors. I'm sure I'll have a review for it later. Well, be seeing you!~The Midnight Owl Librarian

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!

Well, this isn't a review, but it does have something to do with books so enjoy this fabulous picture my little worms!!!! ~ Librarian Oddity

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.
