Book 45 : The Magician's Nephew

The Magician's Nephew by C.S. Lewis.

Book 44 : The Silver Chair

The Silver Chair by C.S. Lewis. I was much more *into* this book than any of the others - and I think it is because it is the first one that I have not seen a film of...

Book 43 : The Field Guide


The Field Guide - Book 1 in the Spiderwick Chronicles Series, by Tony DiTerlizzi and Holly Black.

Book 40 : The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe


The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. Written by C.S.Lewis. This book is the first published book in the Chronicles of Narnia Series. There are two camps of people, when it comes to how, exactly, one should read these books. Most people think that you should read them in the published order (which is not actually in chronological order) and others think that you should read them in chronological order... I decided to read them in the published order, so it would be:
The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe
Prince Caspian
Voyage of the Dawn Treader
The Silver Chair
The Horse and his Boy
The Magician's Nephew
The Last Battle

I very much avoided reading this book, for YEARS. Partially because I had started it when I was younger, and thought it was boring, and partially because everyone went ON and ON and ON about the Christian-ness in it... All in all, it was a good book, but I liked the movie better... I feel that way about very, very few books, for the record.

Book 38 : The Battle of the Labyrinth

Battle of the Labyrinth, by Rick Riordan. Book 4 in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. I was looking at wikipedia's Rick Riordan page and noticed that I will most definitely be reading two of his other series when I finish this next (and last) book in the Percy Jackson series:) From BN:

But when a mysterious mortal acquaintance appears on campus, followed by demon cheerleaders, things quickly move from bad to diabolical.In this latest installment of the blockbuster series, time is running out as war between the Olympians and the evil Titan lord Kronos draws near.

Book 36 : The Sea of Monsters

Sea of Monsters by Rick Riordan. #2 in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. Another great book:-) Reading this book (and the last one) made me run out and buy the rest of the series (I only had books 1-3) and get a bunch of books about Greek Mythology:) Yay for Barnes and Nobles Educator Appreciation Days, which gave me 25% off everything I (didn't really need to, but did anyways) bought:) From BN:
After a summer spent trying to prevent a catastrophic war among the Greek gods, Percy Jackson finds his seventh-grade school year unnervingly quiet. His biggest problem is dealing with his new friend, Tyson—a six-foot-three, mentally challenged homeless kid who follows Percy everywhere, making it hard for Percy to have any “normal” friends.But things don’t stay quiet for long. Percy soon discovers there is trouble at Camp Half-Blood: the magical borders which protect Half-Blood Hill have been poisoned by a mysterious enemy, and the only safe haven for demigods is on the verge of being overrun by mythological monsters. To save the camp, Percy needs the help of his best friend, Grover, who has been taken prisoner by the Cyclops Polyphemus on an island somewhere in the Sea of Monsters, the dangerous waters Greek heroes have sailed for millennia—only today, the Sea of Monsters goes by a new name…the Bermuda Triangle.
Now Percy and his friends—Grover, Annabeth, and Tyson—must retrieve the Golden Fleece from the Island of the Cyclopes by the end of the summer or Camp Half-Blood will be destroyed. But first, Percy will learn a stunning new secret about his family—one that makes him question whether being claimed as Poseidon’s son is an honor or simply a cruel joke.
