BFN and Lamentations

Hello!
I am just writing a quick note. we are going to be gone over the weekend, and I will not be blogging anymore for a few day. just wanted to say hi, and bye.
i haven't read any books this morning, except my bible. I started reading in Lamentations. it is a sad book, a book of five poems, kind of like a lament, or sad song. the first verses is,
"How deserted lies the city once so full of people! how like a widow is she, who once was great among the nations! she who was queen among the province, has now become a slave."
Lamentations 1:1
Kind of depressing, isnt it? well, i will have a lot to write when i get back, it is a six hour car trip! See you soon!

Lord of the Rings and Brownies

Hey Everybody!
I am really bored right now. My novel is getting close to the end of its first draft, and progress is slow. I have been reading the Lord Of The Rings The Return Of The King to try and get inspiration.
LOTR TROTK is really good. I don't think I ever finished it, and I now have under a hundred pages to go. Frodo has returned home the day before Bilbo's 120 or 121 birthday. I didnt know that frodo was gone that long. last time he was turning 111. maybe i am just confused. anyway, it is a good book. I admire JRR Tolkein very much.
i am relly hungry right now. We are waiting for thanksgiving dinner, and I am starved. I helped by making brownies. i never knew you could mess up on brownies out of a box, but i managed to by putting in too much water. we doubled the recipe, and that confused me. so at least they wont be dry ;)
well, i had better go now
bye!

HORSES!!!

Horses! I love horses! I know this dosen’t have much to do with reading but IDC!!! Horses are sooo pretty, and I luv them soo much. Yeah! I wish I had a horse, but I don’t. our neighbors do though, and I have ridden one of them a little bit. I will probably ride more another time, but not now. I also love pictures and books about horses. Duh, I was just talking about Flicka. So yeah. I guess I will be done now. Bye!

Thunderhead!

Hey everyone! Sorry I haven’t been blogging lately. I’ve been really busy with violin recital, tests I had to study for, and lots of other things. I have been reading a lot too, though, and can’t wait to finish my next book.
I am recently working on one of the two sequals to My Friend Flicka, by Mary O’Hara. It is called Thunderhead, and when I finnish it I will read the third book in the series, Green Grass of Wyoming. They are amazing books.
So far, the book is about Ken, and his mare Flicka. Flicka has a colt, and he is a white stallion. His great great grandfather (or something like that) is the legandous albiono. They are hoping that the colt will become a famous racehorse by the name Thunderhead, but for now he is know as by Goblin, the name Ken’s mother Nell gives him. but Goblin has run of, and Ken is very depressed. His dad says to him that it will always be a cycle like this. That he obsessed over Flicka, now he is obsessing over Goblin, and later on, who knows what else?
I just got to the part where Goblin is fighting with the albino, and it is very intense ;) JK. Sort of.
I guess it you want to find out how the rest of the story goes, your going to have to either stick with me, or read it yourself! (I would recommend reading My Friend Flicka first. And watching Flicka, the 2006 movie doesn’t count cuz they changed a lot. Still a good movie though!)
Bye for Now!
