Some Books

  Hi everybody! I know that in my first post I mentioned a probably not-so-well-known book by Pseudonymos Bosch. I think I'll start with saying a bit more about that series. As I mentioned before, my favorite is, "This Book Is Not Good for You", cause it's about the best thing in the world!:) You can probably guess that I happen to be a chocoholic. (Just keep that fake white chocolate away from me!)

   The first book, "The Name of This Book is Secret", is about a secret story. Consequently, the first chapter includes no information at all. Most people know that the first chapter of a book is all the boring stuff, introducing characters, the setting, all of that. Well, this author wants to keep everything a secret! He gives none of that, and even goes so far as to say that he won't disclose the name of the characters, so he just gave the main one the name of Cass. There you have it, the whole exposition is one name. The other books all have a twist like this, so you definitely need to have a sense of humor to get through this series!:)

   The books are all about a secret that the Terces society, (Guess what?! Terces is backwards for Secret! Obviously on purpose by the author!:), is trying to keep another group from learning. But, there's a twist. The Terces society doesn't even know the secret themselves, and another part of their job is to figure out what the secret is! You will learn later on that it's up to Cass and her newfound buddy, Max-Ernest--famous for his bad jokes, divorced parents that actually cut their house in half!, and double-name-- to discover the secret and help the Terces society keep it away from the other group, aka the Midnight Sun.

  In a rating of 1-10, I would give this series an 8 or 9. The writing is good, and I enjoyed the overall humor of the series.  I would definitely recommend this series for a person searching for humorous books!

First Thoughts

This is going to be a blog about books. They are probably mostly going to be some of my favorites,but I'll put down others as well. To start with, I bet every body in the world has heard of "Harry Potter", and at least half of you have read them! The writing is incredible! If you have not read them, yet, they're pretty high up there on my list of cool, incredibly awesome books.
 
  Another amazing series is a curious set by the author Pseudonymos Bosch. (From sources unknown I've heard that his real name is Robert.) His series is called the "Secret Series", and my favorite one in it is, "This Book Is Not Good for You". It's mainly centered on (omg!) chocolate!!!:) Which, if you wanted to know, is one of my favorite delights in the ENTIRE world! Hopefully, every one agrees with me, or else I'll have to come and........ I don't know what. Oh well:)
 
  Next up we have what I like to call the Ink series. It consists of 3 books starting with "Inkhear". There isn't an actual name for the series, but they all start with ink so--lightbulb!--why not call them Ink series?!:) They are all by Cornelia Funke. I'm guessing a bunch of you know about the movie made about them, but in my opinion, the movie makers didn't follow the story all that well. The books are really good! Cornelia had a really amazing idea for the plot and I'm also really impressed with the writing. Another positive is the wide variety of unique characters in her books. I'll give you a hint- it's actually about a book!!

   More to come about each of these books. As a first blog, I only wanted to give you a few hints about what's to come! Just keep on reading!:) Enjoy!!
