DragonSpell by Donita K. Paul

DragonSpell is the first novel in a 5 book series by Donita K. Paul called the "Dragonkeeper Chronicles".

Kale, a young slave girl orphaned at an early age, lives in a village where the only things expected of her are obedience and hard work. Her life is changed drastically when she finds a dragon egg. She is sent to deliver the egg to The Hall in Vendela and there she is also to be trained for service to Paladin.

I had checked other reviews before deciding on whether to read this book, and all the reviews were good, but I expected this book to be better than it was.  For me, it just didn't hold my attention.

I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review. WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group does not require a positive review. All opinions expressed in this review are my own.

"In Between" by Jenny B. Jones

Wow! This is my first ever book review. I hope I do the book justice.  Today I'm writing my review on "In Between" by Jenny B. Jones.  Enjoy!

Sixteen year old Katie Parker, is being sent from the Sunny Haven Home for Girls, to yet another foster home.  Katie's not sure this is a good idea.  She's sure she'll be sent back to the state owned girls home before she even has a chance to feel 'at home'.  She's unsure of a lot of things: her new foster parents (James & Millie Scott), her new town (In Between), her new school (In Between High - home of the Fighting Chihuahua's), her new friends (Angel, who turns out to not really be a friend, and Frances Vega, who seems to be everything that Katie is not), church and God, but most of all her new foster grandmother (Mad Maxine).  Katie does fall in with some questionable kids at school, which causes some heart-ache for her.  As she tries to make amends for her error, she and Frances do start hanging out together more.  Katie's introduced to the church's Target Teen youth group, which while still unsure of her beliefs, she does find many of the things Youth Pastor Mike talks about hit her mind and heart...for the good.  After spending more time with Mad Maxine, things really begin to change for Katie. This was my first time reading anything by Jenny B. Jones, but it will by no means be my last. Bravo, Jenny B. Jones, well done!

What Do You Get When You Make Poultry Mad?

Fried chicken! LOL! But, if you're Harry Potter, you can just zap the chicken with your wand. Sweet!!!

Todays topic is Club Penguin. Why Club Penguin? Because I've been dying to show somebody the picture I edited from there, that's why. LOL, here it is:

Pretty much, that's what happens when Club Penguin joins Wipeout. I have more pics like this, but I'll save them for some other time. Next time, I think I'll show you one clumsy penguin.

Peace, Love, Jonas
