Text to Self- Falcon's Egg      Have you ever read Falcon's Egg ? Well if you haven't, you should! Falcon's Egg was written by Luli Gray  in 1995. The book starts off with the main character Falcon, walking around the park and she's spots a dragon egg in the grass and she decides to take it home. She has to take care of the egg because if anything bad happens to the egg, it could crack and die. Then through out the rest of the book, she takes care of the baby dragon and watches it grow up.      The main character, Falcon, reminds me of myself a lot. She had to take care of the dragon egg. I also had to take care of my pet fish I had when I was younger. Falcon found the egg in a park. Also when I was younger, I found a lost dog at the park.      Overall, this is a pretty solid book and I advise you to read this. The character I admire the most is Falcon because she cares so much for her family and friends. This books lesson is to c...

                                                                     Text to Self      Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone, a book by J.K. Rowling , is about a boy named Harry Potter who has to live with his cruel relatives because his parents died in an accident. This was no ordinary accident, though, Harry's parents died when an evil wizard killed them, but Harry did not die when this wizard tried to kill him.

This wizard is You-Know-Who, or also known as Voldemort and he was once one of the most powerful wizards ever, besides Dumbledore. Dumbledore is the head of the Hogwarts School For Wizards. Since Harry has been living with his Aunt, Uncle, and cousin, he did not know until recently in the book that he and his pa...

       I am reading T he Girl Who Owned a City   by O.T. Nelson is a story about a girl named Lisa who is trying to survive through a killing virus that killed all adults.

My book is the Daughter of Dusk, and it's about an ex-assassin\thief named Kyra who is a half blood Makvani. She has to choose between her bloodlines, and is trying to fix a few problems arising. This is a Midnight Thief book by Livia Blackburne I can relate to Kyra because I sometimes have to make difficult choices that may affect me or someone else whether its good or bad. She lets her anger take over and kills a noble and hurts his brother, her close friend finds her and she is forced to flee the city and become a wanted criminal. This reminds me that letting your anger control your actions and you later regretting it and having to deal with the consequences. The nobles she killed and injured are also the ones that majorly hurt her close friend that is like her little sister. Lettie, Kyra's close friend/adopted sister (sister of girl that got beat up) was worried for her sister, and I can relate to being worried if my family was hurt. To me not much has happened in the bo...
