January 5th Final Blog: This is my **FINAL ESSAY OF THE SEMESTER!!!!** I am now reading a book called __The Saint__ by Dan Abnett. It's a great book for many reasons it has so much action. So imagine this the year is 40,000 Mankind has unified under one banner the Imperium this government now has to hold on after the emperor has been betrayed and is now dead, though his mind lives on guarding Terra from all invaders who wish to warp there. The Imperium is now faced with a multitude of foes Xenos, Mutants, and the worst of them all Heretics. This empire would be destroyed if not for the backbone of the army the Imperial Guard and the only Guard regiment that stands above the others for scouting is the Ghosts. Now we get to the story Gaunt is the most highly awarded commander of the Ghost with his battle cry" Men of Tanith, do you want to live forever?" Now we see the desperate stories of the Ghosts, for in this universe the is no peace only **WAR**.

December 6, 2010 Blog 4: Now I'm reading __Time of the Twins__. It's a story about two twins Rastelin and Cammeron. Rastelin is a mage who is very evil he seems to delight in power and only that. His brother on the other hand is a warrior who has let himself go and is self pitying now because his brother doesn't admit he has a brother. Cammeron is traveling with a kender named Tasselhoff. Tasselhoff is very curious and always seems to have "interesting objects in his pouch." this leads to trouble. I like Rastelin because he is very realistic and isn't prone to have emotional trouble. He is very cinical.

November 18, 2010 Blog 3: Now I have continued to read //__Finnikin of the Rock__//. Now Finnikin is leaving the slave pit with his very own father! He has been missing for more than 10 years. I feel like this is a high and low point in the book. It is high that Finnikin has found his father; what I have read about him I like very much. It's low though because Finnikin still hasn't gotten rid of the girl. I think he should man up and get rid of her she betrayed him when he saved her from a thief, so she should go fall down a hole. To my great regret he probably won't get rid of her for which I dislike him. Justice is blind it dose not care that she is a girl. So she should be forced to leave him I wouldn't trust her after that, but that is me.

I'm now currently reading //Finnikin of the Rock// by Melina Marchetta. This story is about a man named Finnikin he has to return to his homeland after ten years where that kingdom was taken over by the evil king. It has been kept away by the magic spell that only a true blooded royal heir can remove. I dislike in this story that the woman in it keeps lying just to keep the myth that the king's son is still alive. She lies over and over again. I feel that people like her should have to live alone. I can see keeping the truth away from people but flat out lying is horrible. I hope the Finnikin ends up getting rid of her because she gives him up to slavers to keep her dream going.

Hello it's Joseph Mueller the bookworm. I'm currently reading //The Wager//. I first didn't want to read it because it seemed to look more like a romance novel than anything UGH. Later on though I read that it was very good and not a romance. So the book starts with the Count now the Count here is a very bad saver. He spends thousands of gold on parties. His life is ruined when a tidal wave hits the town and harms everybody. The Count is now broke and becomes a beggar. He later meets with the devil who offers him a deal. He must go 3 years 3 months and 3 days without bathing. I can't wait to findout what happens next. Oh he makes the wager. I like this because it shows how someone can be happy without money even more than when they have the money.

I'm currently reading //Stone of Tears// by Terry Goodkind. This book is about a man named Richard. He has to travel over the land to save the world from the Keeper. There are many complications in the book though. He is forced to wear a collar which uses magic to keep him in line. He is forced to go to Tamriel to get the collar removed. While this is happening Khalen his wife is forced to lead an army of 5,000 men and destroy an army of 500,000 men. Richard though isn't going through daisies there are darker powers at work in the palace all of which want to destroy Richard. I enjoy this book because it has more to it than meets the eye. Richard himself has many challenges to overcome. He seems to evolve from a care free woods guide to a bold leader. He has magic but despises it so he is much deeper than an ordinary person. I like this because it shows that even a simple woods guide can rise to greatness
