Now I will show you each book. These aren't in any order.

All The Days Past, All The Days To Come By: Mildred D. Taylor
This is the 10th and final book in her Logan's Series. This book is a lot bigger than I thought.
This Series has her Newbery Award book called Roll of Thunder, Hear Me Cry. I didn't realize that book was part of a series.
The Sky Weaver By: Kristen Ciccarelli. This is the third book in the Companion series to The Last Namsara. Book Two is below. I haven't read any of them but now I can because I have them all so if I like them I will be able to continue on.
The Caged Queen By: Kristen Ciccarelli. This is book 2 in the companion Series The Last Namsara. I will tell you about the first book by way of the synopsis on the book cover.
In the beginning, there was the Namsara: the child of the sky  and spirit, who carried love and laughter wherever he went. But  where there is light, there must by darkness-and so there was also the Iskari, The death bringer.
These are the legends that Asha, daughter of the king of Firgaard, has grown up hearing in hushed whispers. Forbidden though the ancient stories may be, she has always felt a connection to the familiar figures of the past and to the teachings of the Old One. But it isn't until she becomes the fiercest, most feared dragon slayer in the land that she takes on the role of the next Iskari-a lonely destiny that leaves her feeling more like a weapon than a girl.
Asha's secret stories have a strange and poisonous power, and even uttering them out loud will draw the deadliest of dragons out of hiding, She conquers each one and brings its head to the king, but no kill can free her from the shackles that await at home: her betrothal to the cruel commandant, a man who holds the truth about her nature in his palm.
All Asha wants is to escape her tragic past and evade her bleak future. When she's offered the chance to gain her freedom in exchange for the life of the most powerful dragon in Firgaard, she takes it-but soon finds that there may be more truth to the ancient stories than she ever could have expected. With the help of a secret friend-a slave boy from her berothed's household-Asha must shed the layers of her Iskari bondage and open her heart to love, light, and a truth that has been kept from her.
On Life As A Pioneer Woman By: Laura Ingalls Wilder Edited By: Stephen W. Hines
This is the second book of her writings to young women. I have already read this book. I read this a couple of years ago because my daughter Rebekah owns them and I borrowed them and now I am slowly picking them up. There are three books in this series.
Over The Woodward Wall By: A. Deborah Baker. I read this book early this year. This book is goes along with the book called Middlegame by Seanan McGuire. A. Deborah Baker is Seanan McGuire if you didn't know. This is what the synopsis says.
Avery is an exceptional child. Everything he does is precise, from the way he washes his face in the morning, to the way he completes his homework-without complaint, without fuss, without prompt.
Zib is also an exceptional child, because all children are, in their own ways. But where everything Avery does and is can be measured, nothing Zib does can possibly be predicted, except for the fact that she can always be relied upon to be unpredictable.
They live on the same street.
They live in different worlds.
On an unplanned detour from home to school one morning, Avery and Zib find themselves climbing over a stone wall into the Up-and -Under-an impossible land filled with mystery, adventure, and the strangest creatures.
And they must find themselves and each other if they are to also find their way out and back to their own lives.
 

The Blue Sword By: Robin McKinley This is the first book in the Damar Series. The second book The Hero and The Crown is a Newbery Award winner. I have read the second book but not the first because I didn't realize it was a series. This is what the back of the book says,

This is the story of Corlath, golden-eyed king of the Free Hillfolk, son of the sons of the Lady Aerin.

And this is the story of Harry Crewe, the Outlander orphan girl who became Harimad-sol, King's Rider, and bearer of the Blue Sword, Gonturan, the sword Lady Aerin carried, the sword only a woman may wield, for it will turn in the hand of a man.

And this is a story of the kelar of the Hillfolk, the magic in the blood, and how it may wake even in Outlander veins...


Have you read any of these books? If so what did you think about them? 

Until next time keep reading.
