Poetry Too!!!

Hello everyone,
     I am now going to be posting poetry, that I write, and read, as well as the books that I read. As I am a fairly new writer, I would love for you to give me feedback on my Posts, and Poetry.

     Also, feel free to give me ideas on what to read next, and also topics that I could write about, as              sometimes that is the hardest part about writing poetry.
       Thanks a lot

Wildwood Dancing

     This book is by Juliet Marillier, and is set in Transylvania, Romania, so some of the names are a little hard to pronounce
   
     Tatiana, Jenica, Iulia, Paula, and Stela are sisters, who have a secret, a wonderful secret that comes every full moon. A magical portal appears, that only when all five sisters make a shadow on the wall and speak their names in order of age, will it open. Through the portal they go, and dance all night with various creatures of the wildwood.
   
     They are happy, but not for long, for their father is sick, and has to go away, and while he is away, the girl's guardian and uncle dies in a hunting accident. Jena is supposed to be in charge of the household and business expenses, but their cousin, Cezar was slowly working his way into control of their home.
   
     When they were children, Jena, Cezar and his older brother Costi were playing in a forbidden part of the forest, and were granted magical wishes is exchange for something of value to them. Right after, Jena nearly drowns, and Costi ends up drowning while saving her. Since that day, Cezar has wanted to destroy the wildwood and grows more bitter every day.
   
     Meanwhile, Her sister Tati, falls in love with Sorrow, who is of the other world, and grows sick when she is away from him. Jena's only comfort is her pet frog Gogu, who shares her pocket, shoulder, and pillow, as well as her thoughts.

     This was a very well written book, with many twists and turns that makes it hard to put down. The author did a very good job of mixing fairy tales together along with Romanian folklore.

Fahrenheit 451

This book was written by Ray Bradbury

Guy Montag is a Fireman......not the kind that puts out fires, but the kind that lights things on fire.....books mainly. He makes friends with a young girl, who can see the beauty in things around her, and a professor, who knows about history about the world. As he learns more, Guy starts to wonder if what he has been taught all his life is actually true.

This book is one of the best I have ever read. It is so close to describing the world as it is today that it's a little scary. I would say that 14 would be a good age to read this book, because if you aren't old enough to understand the state of our society and country, this book wont really have an impact on you.

The Last Confederate

This is the eighth book in the series "The House of Winslow" by Gilbert Morris

A young Northerner, Thad Novak, makes his way to the winslow plantation and is taken on as a hired hand. What caused him to specifically search out the Winslows? Should the young Northerner be trusted? And with young ladies in the home, what are his actual motives? While the Nation totters on the brink of war, both Thad Novak and the Winslows face conscription into fighting for a cause they don't support, and directly against Winslow relatives from the North!

This is, yet again, another great historical fiction book that will captivate your attention quickly, so far I have enjoyed all of "The House of Winslow" series, and I'm looking forward to the rest of them.
I'd say that 13 is a good age to read this book.

The Reluctant Bridegroom

This is the seventh book in the series "The House of Winslow" by Gilbert Morris.

Sky Winslow, the son of Christmas and Dove Winslow, agrees to return East and bring back a wagon of brides to the men in Oregon City. As experienced as he is on the trail, the past hurts of an unfaithful wife and a twelve-year-old son who truly needs a mothers love, make Sky an unlikely person for such an assignment. On the long trip from New York to Oregon, two of the women who join the wagon train will make their impact. Rebekah Jackson, in the hope of finding a new start, is leaving a broken past. Rita Duvall is a dance hall girl who knows the way to break down a mans defenses, even when at their strongest. 

This is a great book and I enjoyed it thoroughly. I personally think that 13 is a good minimum age for this book.   

Unstoppable: Nowhere to Run

This is one of the newest books in the series "The 39 Clues" which is written by authors; Rick Riordan, Gordon Korman, Peter Lerangis, Jude Watson, Patrick Carman, Linda Sue Park, Margaret Peterson Haddix, Roland Smith, David Baldacci, Jeff Hirsch, and Natalie Standiford. 

This book starts with Dan and Amy Cahill at the funeral of their lawyer, when its over, they are attacked and escape getting buried alive. Through a turn of several events, they end up in Ireland trying to crack yet another code. Will they make it by themselves or will they need to call for help?

I love this series, I have read all of them and they never cease to keep me on my toes. I would say that eight is a good age to read these books. 

The Gentle Rebel

This is the fourth book in the series "The House of Winslow" by Gilbert Morris, and is so far my favorite.

Julie Sampson has an uncle who pays her too much attention. She decided to disguise herself as a boy and find work somewhere else. While in Boston, she gets saved from freezing to death by Nathan Winslow who is there with his brother to learn about the family fur trading business. Through a turn of several events, Nathan and Laddie (Julie) end up in the Continental Army serving under General George Washington.
How much longer can Julie keep her secret?

As I said, this is so far my favorite in the series, Julie is a very brave young girl who did what not many girls would have done. I think its vaguely based off of Debora Sampson, and other like her who risked everything to help fight for their country. I would say that thirteen is a good age to read this book.
I hope you enjoy.
