I am now reading Anne of Ingleside. I love Anne! :)

Calm in life and sound in reason,,

Driving a warrior to pick up his sword,
The challenger rings then, straight and fair,
Justice is with us, beware. Beware!

What's Watership down about?
I'll give you a quick summary, but seriously read it. It's a great book. If you like Redwall you'll probably like this.

It's about rabbits. One of them, Fiver, is a seer. He suddenly sees in to the future and sees the destruction of their warrens at Sandleford. Nobody else but his brother, Hazel, believes him at first, but soon they gather together a group of "believers" so to speak and they escape. Along the way they come across many dangers until they come across Watership Down, where they decide to build a new warren. However, Hazel realizes they have no does (female rabbits) with them, meaning no children and no future for the warren once they die. A group of them go out to find another warren where they could ask to have some of their does. They come back extremely injured as the warren is very dangerous and lead by a cruel leader. So they begin to plan a "rescue mission" to steal some of the does (who want to leave).

It has plenty of other little stories about the rabbit version of Robin Hood in between and plenty of lapin language (like Guardians of Ga'Hoole). It's one of the best novels around. Just be careful though because it is probably a bit more violent than Redwall.
Received mostly negative reviews.

I just finished a Drawing Mythological Creatures book. I learned how to draw dragons, nightmares, minotaurs, centaurs, satyrs, and fairies.

Rereading Taggerung, and reading Theodore Boone: Kid Lawyer for book club.

I was really surprised by how much I enjoyed the first Theodore Boone book!  Hope you like it!


@Icefire...those books are great!  I love the character of Anne, too.  But I think I enjoy the books when she was younger more than the later ones.

is that a sequel to Anne of green gables?

I'm reading The Door in the Wall because I can't get my hands on Regina Doman's latest book! Those books are way too addicting.

@psybox: Yes, it is! In fact, Anne of Ingleside is the 6th book in the series.
