cutiek028 Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 I'm reading The Blessing Stone By: Barbara Wood Summary: Millions of years ago, a meteorite fell to earth and a beautiful blue stone shattered from it. One hundred thousand years ago, a girl named Tall One found the crystal on the African plain---and it formed her destiny, as well as the destiny of generations to come. From ancient Israel to imperial Rome, medieval England, fifteenth-century Germany, the eighteenth-century Caribbean, and the nineteenth-century American West, the destiny of the stone and the history of the world unfold. Each story is full of the betrayals and obsessions of the human heart, and the quests of the human spirit. In "The Blessing Stone," Barbara Wood has both told the intimate details of her characters' lives and created a sense of the epic sweep of human history. It's amazing and I can't wait to continue I'm also reading Their Eyes Were Watching God for school And I'm listening to the audio tapes of a trilogy I already read called the Bartimaeus Trilogy. I'm completely in love with it. I think I like it even better than Harry Potter! The three books in the trilogy are The Amulet of Samarkand, The Golem's Eye, and Ptolomy's Gate. Here is the summary of the first one: Nathaniel, a young magician's apprentice, becomes caught in a web of magical espionage, murder, and rebellion, after he summons the djinni Bartimaeus and instructs him to steal the Amulet of Samarkand from the powerful magician Simon Loveland. But it's sooo much better than that! You will completely fall in love with Bartimaeus! And the relationship between Nathaniel and Bartimaeus is completly like...like...I CAN'T DESCRIBE IT! GO READ IT! You will NOT regret it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest anniano Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Pobby & Dingan by Ben Rice. It's a really short story, but I love the originality and innocence of it [though the narrator kind of swears too much]. Got it years ago and I still love that book.
