These books were all really good and are my top books. But I had one that really stood out for me it was very interesting I read it nearly in two days. This was my favourite paragraph in the book-
She waded to shore. As she set her foot on land, a shiver went through her. The look of victory in her exquisite face increased. But then her outline shuddered. She raised her hands to the crown, and her fingernails went right through it as if it was pudding. The crown had started to dissolve. It trickled onto her hair. Her hair melted too, and then her face, her shoulders- dissolving, seeping- her arms, her clothes. Lady Gall was a melted pool upon the platform- steam sizzled from it. - The Travelling Restaurant By Barbara Else
It was a great book and I hope I can get the second book. Make sure you read one of these books!

You should be very proud of your reading in the holidays, Tash!
ReplyDeleteI like how you added a recording of a paragraph from your favourite book. It is neat to hear you pronounce difficult words like exquisite!
Thanks Mr.M!
DeleteThat word made me think, I didn't know what to say. Have you read any of Barbaras adult books?
You're welcome, Natasha.
DeleteYou pronounced the word well and I like hearing you think about it. I have not read any of Barbara's adult books but I think I should now!
Thanks!
DeleteI want to read the second book now, it was so good!
A fantastic selection of book recommendations there Natasha! What a great idea to include your favorite paragraph - it makes me want to read more :)

DeleteI really liked all of these books, they were all so good! But the travelling restaurant was awesome:) I wanted it to carry on!
Wow! I'm very pleased that you liked the Travelling Restaurant so much. And that paragraph was one of my favourites too, when I was writing it. Writers need good readers, and you have made my day. Thank you! Best wishes, Barbara Else
ReplyDeleteThank you Barbara!
DeleteI can't believe I am talking to you right now, you are incredible! Once I bought the travelling Restaurant, I knew at once this was going to be the best book in the world,which it is. My favourite character was Sibilla, Jasper and the monkey. Sibilla sounded like a really cute baby sister to have. Thank you so much! All the best Natasha
Natasha, that is so exciting! It is very cool to get a comment from one of the authors. I used to work for a famous author in England. Authors are very cool people.
