I can post more of The Mushroom Feast!  I am soo excited about this story!  Can you tell? 🙂

Enjoy!

Jerry crawled around the small house—his antennas bouncing gently—as Amelia flew swiftly into the crowded ferns. Her translucent, blue wings flashed in the sunshine as she darted between the tall, lacy fronds.

Hearing a fly humming softly behind her, Amelia instinctively turned her head—just in time to crash into someone, also flying, and both fairies tumbled into a fern. The frond bent down under the weight and dumped them both on the ground. Amelia recognized the young man she had hit. Though the son of the fairy King and Queen, she was not frightened by the idea of having bumped into him any more than the idea of crashing into anyone else.

This one isn’t a novel, but it’s a great read for any fantasy or fairy-tale lover.  Edited and compiled by Bodie Hodge and Laura Welch, it explains that since there are legends about them from almost every country and culture, there must have been a real creature that inspired dragons.  Stunning information about dinosaurs, dragon-stories from all over the world, evidence for the creationist belief that dinosaurs lived with people–I’ve poured over this book!  It’s the perfect real-life adventure for dragon-lovers, like myself; all from a Christian worldview.  I would totally recommend it to any fantasy lover–or any one else who happened to be interested.  We purchased our copy at the Ken Ham’s Creation Museum in Cincinnati.

Since this review was short, I’ll throw in my favorite characters from the two books* I reviewed during June:

A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens – Lucie Manette, Charles Darnay, or Mr. Lorry.  Yes, I know that’s a lot.  No, it’s not all of them.  There were a few characters I hated.

Sarah Whitcher’s Story by Elizabeth Yates – Sarah maybe?

* Only two.   Pathetic.

“How good she is to me.  What do girls do who haven’t any mothers to help them through their troubles?”

Little Women by Louisa May Alcott

Sobering, but such an awesome quote.  Aren’t mamas great?

Happy Mother’s Day to any mothers who read my blog, and happy Sunday to the rest of you! 🙂

I just realized what it was time for:

Another favorite characters post!

Jesus Prequel by Eric Smith – not fiction

Begin by Philip and Erin Ulrich – Merridy or Chippy

Johnny Tremain by Esther Forbes – Cilla or Rab

The Hundred Dresses by Eleanor Estes – Not sure.

Have any of you read any of these?  Who was your favorite character?

Wow!  This might be my shortest post yet! #LongWinded 🙂

Happy Wednesday!

Hey, guys.

Sorry I was gone for so long.  I was under the weather the last few days.

I’ll pick up “Mystery Quotes” and Book Reviews next week.

Happy Thursday!

The truth is, it pains me to ever say anything remotely negative about a book.  It’s like saying someone’s child isn’t cute.
