Book blog 1/24

           I choose a book by looking at other's blogs and what is written on the books themselves. I then decide if the story is interesting. My favorite kinds of books are fantasy, but I'm becoming interested in historical fiction. 

           I don't really have a favorite book, but one of my favorites is Brisingr, the third book in the Inheritance Cycle. I blogged on it earlier. The Inheritance Cycle (Eragon, Eldest, Brisingr, and Inheritance),  is about a 15 to 17 year old Dragon Rider named Eragon and his dragon, Saphira. (He is 15 at the beginning of the series and 17 at the end.) The Empire is ruled ruled by the evil King Galbatorix, a Rider who went made at the death of his dragon, and destroyed the rest of the Riders, besides the ones who would serve him.  Galbatorix being immortal, as all Riders are, Eragon is the world's only hope against him. 

          The Lions of Little Rock

            Marlee is so non talkative, her classmates think she's mute. But she has very strong opinions that don't show.  She thinks shutting down her sister Judy's high school instead of opposing segregation is the wrong thing to do. But one wouldn't know it. In comes Liz. She is very different from Marlee, always knowing what to say. However, it's the first time Marlee has actually had a friend. Liz's skin is quite tan, like she spent the whole summer at the pool, but Marlee can't recall seeing her before. She doesn't care at all- not until she learns Liz is actually black and got expelled. Marlee decides she wants the only friend she ever had back. She doesn't know the cost.
