Great Books I have Read this Month

I have read Thief by Megan Whalen Turner. This book was good and then it was great. The story is about a boy who is in prision for stealing the Kings own seal. He brags that he can steal anything. The adventure begins as a man of power wishes the services of the thief. There is a twist at the finish which is unpredictable. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves a good tale. The second book in the series is The Queen of Attolia. In the first book we learn that the Queen of Attolia is a hard, cold and calucalting person. In the second book we learn that she is ruthless. This story also has an unforseen twist which keeps you anticipating the further happenings of Attolia. The third book in the series is the King of Attolia. Through a twist of happenings the reader is intesnly interested in future of the King of Attolia.

The next book I am reading is Twice Upon A Marigold by Jean Ferris. This is the second book in the series. The first book Once Upon A Marigold is an entertaining fairytale with comedy and tragedy. I read this one to both Kate & Andrew. The main character is Christain, a boy who lives with a troll and serveral large fun loving dogs. Christian begins p-mail (Pigeon mail) with a girl that lives far across the valley. Lots of fun action. The second book begins where the fisrt leaves off. So far its good.
