The Silver Bowl
Before I start my review I want to apologize to all my readers.This year you all have been really good to me but I repay it with my laziness.I promised to write a japanese version of every post but until now I only managed to complete one.Instead of reviewing three books every month I only reviewed one or two books,I wondered on why did it turned out like this and a couple of days ago I discovered my answer.I was talking with my brother about a certain book that he wanted to buy,since I was going to a book store I offerred to buy it for him and he declined saying thath he wanted to buy the book in person.I said that I understand his feeling and recalled some memories a couple years back when was just a teenager searching for a book to read and relishing to find a book with a beautiful cover,wondering what story lies within the book.I immadiately realized that all this time I had lost my passion on reading books.I still loved reading book but recently I only read it to pass time or for the sake of this blog I used to read as a hobby I could spend hours on a book devouring each words but now I only spend an hour on a real book.
I promise you that from starting next month I'm going to at least write two book review every month unless I'm terribly busy that is.I don't think that I'm going to continue on my Japanese transalation unless you really want me to and yes I'm going to post a chapter every month.By the way I had some problem editing the next chapter for my story so it's going to take a couple days before I could post.
With that cleared I can begin my review.Last week read a book called The Silver Bowl.,it was written by Diane Stanley.I thought that it was an old book so I decided to read it,feeling tired of all the unoriginal teen fiction dominating shelves.I was in quite a shock to learn that it was published in 2011.
The High and Low
.The book has a great setting to it.
.The characters aare memorable and likable.
.I really liked the ending.
.To me the book didn't answer all my question.
.When the book reached the ending it felt a little bit rushed.
Quick Summary
Molly was born in a large poor famiy so her cruel father had to send them away by sending them to faraway place to work.Molly had some visions and this made her father worried that she was crazy like his wife was he decided to send her to the castle to work as a servant but before that her mother explained to her that she must never let anyone kow of her powers ad gace her a necklace saying that it would protect her.She quickly befriended the stable boy Tobias and the sneak to see the royal family directly there she heard a conversation between prince Alaric and her mother.Alaric noticed her and riducled her for not knowing her place.Years passed and she is promoted to the polisher of the silver.........That's all I'm going to write.
The conclusion
Picking up this book was like finding a buried treasure that contained several aincents scroll.I cannot say that the book was perfect but it is simply a joy with essence of old book surrounding it.The book had the feelig of it was witten a couple of decades ago.The book has a great setting,dark and adventurous at the sametime.The characters were memorable and likable enought to stand out and I have to say while I hated how to book was rushed I really loved the ending.It made me realize about my passion on reading novels.
The biggest complain I had was that I was stil terribly confused on some certain things,those thing probably could have been explained if the book had an additional fifty pages.The book is a gem for anyone who is craving for a throwback fantasy where the story is the main course not the appetizer.

Cursed for Eternity:Chapter 1
As you know this blog is officially 3 years old now and I want to thank all of you for sparing your time to look at my pathetic blog.I know I have been quite lazy.I used to post three reviews every month but lately I only posted two.Anyway I have finally created my own story after month of planning/procrastinating I managed to finish the prologue.I know I'm not a really good writer but truthfully i felt that I could improve more if I had more people criticizing my book so I decided to post my story on my blog.This story is a fantasy/drama story so don't expect any romance in it.I really hope you enjoy it.I really appreciate any advice that you could give me.Truthfully I'm not sure how to put up a link for you to go to my story so for now I have to post the story up on Wattpad.In the future if I do know how to link my story I would probably stop posting it on Wattpad.For now I just hope you enjoy my story.

The False Prince
Hello everybody like a true procrastinator I decided to write this pote on the last day of the month eventhough I 've finished reading the books a week ago.I'm really sorry,I've been readying something for my third anniversarry I hope you're at least curious about it.Last week I read a book called The False Prince,it is written by Jennifer A. Nielsen and was published in 2012.It is the first book of the triology and it received very posite reviews.
The High and Low
.The book had a great charming cast who had a lot of potential
.The story was suprisingly sweet and witty.
.The world was never fully explored.
.Truthfully I felt the book to be a liitle short.
Quick Summary
Four boys are picked and only one of the boys will be chosen as the winner.This is what the four boys learned during one the first day they met Conner.The kids who were not chosen will be killed.Sage a young orphan is bought to enter this suicidal mission with Tobias,Roden and Lattemer.The winner will be pretending to be the long lost son who was thought to be dead during a pirate attack.Sage who knows that eventhough he wind he will never be free of Conner tries to survive as best as he can.There he needs to know who can he trust and who he can use to give him the advantage but when you're competitor is more smart or stronger than him,he knows it won't be easy...........................That's all I can give you.
The Conclusion
I have to say personally that The False Prince is a really great book.Sage is a great character,he's smart,arrogant but most impotantly he is also caring.The supporting characters were also very tight with the exception of Amarinda who seriously need more appearance.The story was also more better than I had expected,the story was sweet and it also had a lot of charm in it.Truthfully I really hoped the author explored the world a little bit more.The book also felt to short,I just started enjoying this book and suddenly it was over.I felt the book would be more complete if it had an additional 100 pages but of course that's the point of a sequel.The False Prince was definitely a great suprise that I never expected.

The Lion,The Witch and The Wardrobe
Hello everybody next month will be the third anniversary.I'm really excited for it I hope you all are too.Anyway while cleaning some of my old stuuf I found a book that I read about six years ago.
It is one of my first real book that I properly read and for old time sake I decided to reread it .The book is written by C S Lewis it was published in 1950 and is the second book of the Narnia series eventhough it is the first book he wrote for the series.It is one of the most famous children book that have ever been written.
The High and Low
.Beautiful illustration
.Has a sweet charming story filled with nice characters
.The ending felt somewhat lacking
Quick Summay
Peter.Susan,Edmund and Lucy Pevensie are evacuated from London during World War 2.They are sent away to live with a professor named Digory Kirke.(If you read the Magician's Nephew first you might know him)at the countryside.They all are very excited to play outside unfortunately it rains so they decided to play hide and seek in the mansion instead.Lucy quickly enters a room which only contains a beautifully carved wardrobe.She quicky enters it hoping Edmund wouldn't find her but as she step into the wardrobe she finds herself in field filled with snow.there she befriends a faun named Tumnus.Who at first wants to capture her but has a change of heart because of her kindness.He quickly warns her about the wicked white witch................That's all I'm going to write.
The Conclusion
Opening the book old memories quickly came over me.To be truthful I remembered most of the story thanks to the (not so great)movie and how many times I read it when I was younger but like most good book it is a pleasure to reread it once again.The story feels charming and nostalgic compared to mordern children fantasy story.The characters are nice and pleasant its what you expect at a sweet fantasy story.The illustration also brings a great sentimental feeling that you rarely get.The biggest complain I have was the ending it felt somewhat lacking and I was never truly satisfied on how Susan never used her magic horn in this book.However I have to say The Lion,The Witch and The Wardrobe is a great children fantasy book that can be enjoyed by any ages who's looking for a more simple yet sweet book.
