Outside Reading...It's amazing!!!

I decided that this week, I wouldn't have look around on the internet. Instead, I am going to write about the book(s) that I am reading. I am currently awaiting my turm on the library's waiting list for Superior Saturday, by Garth Nix. Superior Saturday is the 6th of 7 books in the Keys to the Kingdom series. The series centers around Arthur Penhaligon. A normal kid who happens to come across the first key, which allows it's possesor to complete control over the lower House. The House is a mysterious universe that exists parallel to our own and has some correlations to our world, such as the prophecy that states that the human who comes in possesion of the first key will be the Rightful Heir to the entire realm of the House. Arthur faces a lot of opposition throughout his quest from the 7 "demons" who split up the House when the Architect, the creator of the House, disappeared. These "demons" are Mister Monday, Grim Tuesday, Drowned Wednesday, Sir Thursday, Lady Friday, Superior Saturday, and Lord Sunday, which happen to be the names of the 7 books in the series. Awesome series. Read it.

My second series is the Alex Rider series. However "kiddish" it may be, it tells a great story about a teenage spy for the British Secret Service. Alex hates this obligation but is continually forced back into the service by a form of blackmail, such as sending his only guardian, Jack, back to the US. Alex has been all over the world, from the Caribbean, helping out the CIA; to China, fighting local gangs; to the Alps, stopping a cloning system; to outerspace saving the entire US eastern seaboard from a falling "space hotel". Another great series. Read this too.

The third series that I'm currently reading is the Gatekeeper series (Necropolis, the final book, came out today!!!!!!!!! This may be the highlight of my week. It's been a really boring week.) The series, and the Alex Rider series, is written by Anthony Horowitz. In this series, 5 children from across the world are reincarnations of the original 5 heroes. They have to stop the Old Ones from taking over the world. The Old Ones were trapped by the original 5 heroes underneath the Nazca lines in the Nazca Desert. In the last book, Necropolis, the Old Ones have taken over Beijing and renamed it Necropolis, City of the Dead. Beijing is the city that the 5th hero happens to be living in, so I'm really excited for my chance to read the book. Another great series. Read this too.

The book I'm actually reading right now is Inkdeath. This is the third book in the Ink series by Cornelia Caroline Funke. (The first is Inkheart, and the second is Inkspell.) This series is about a Mo and Meggie who have the power to read characters in and out of stories. This book starts out in the world of Inkheart, a book written by Fenoglio. (Ya, I know, the main characters are in a book, Inkheart, in a book, the actual "Ink" series? Yes.) Mo has assumed the role of the Bluejay, a robber who has bound death in a book for the Adderhead, the bad guy. However, this book ensures immortality, but also ensures eternal aging. So, the Adderhead is trying to catch Mo and make him change the book. This is another great series. And guess what, read this too!

I know this is a lot of books to read because counting all the previous books in these series you have to read...7+6+4+3=...20 books. So, read them anyways. You won't regret it.
