4 Stars out of 5 Stars 
This is interesting; it was full of action. Although I'm not into unicorns, pegasus and romance, I got hooked into reading this book. It was like the princess bride, but with magic. Also everything is not what it seems.  
I would recommend the book to people who either like  unicorns, pegasus and romance or cliff hangers
read this from 11/3-16/13
Date when  Author sent me the Book 10/9/13
Length of book  73,370 words long

About the author :
Iscah is an introverted eccentric who likes to do stereotypical author things like hanging out in coffee 
shops and wearing pajamas until noon.

3 Stars out of 5 Stars
I did not like this book because it was boring. Reading it felt like walking through mud. I enjoy reading books about dogs, but this is a book I'd only finish reading this if I had a physical copy while on a deserted island.
I would recommend the book to people who like boring dog books
read this 10/20-27/13
Date when I got the book 11/2/12

Blogger vs. Wordpress vs. Tumblr

This is what I would like to share with anyone who would like my opinion of which of these three blogging platforms is the best.

Blogger:
What I like
You can customize the way the blog looks, and change the HTML
What I don't like :
Only 4 templates to choose from, only auto publishes to Google+
This problem can be solved by using a 3rd party service like Twitter feed

Wordpress:
What I like
Nicer blog feed, easier to reblog has a like post and better sharing options than Blogger, and can connect to Tumblr
What I don't like :
You need  Premium Wordpress to get the most out of Wordpress, this lets you customize your blog so that you don't need to find a new template that has the text, and color that matches your background.
Also, you need to log on in order to follow a blog,which must be done from your own blog. Wordpress also doesn't use Javascript. Even though Molly the Dog (a Blogger blog) and DArHook (a Wordpress blog) a both have 11 followers. Molly the dog gets more traffic, and  DArHooK has had 11 followers for a longer time.


Tumblr:
What I like
Auto publishes post to Facebook and Twitter, don't need a follow widget to gain followers like Blogger as that comes with all templates
What I don't like :
Need HTML knowledge to change things on blog, unlike Blogger which also has a Layout page to place widgets. Blog stats are hard to find, picture only templates are not pinterest friendly for getting the web address of a post

Book Review of The Key to Rondo


 
5 Stars out of 5 Stars
This was an interesting book about this boy who follows his cousin after the blue queen who took her dog after breaking the rules of the music box. They end up in Rondo where things aren't as they seem. In there it's a spin off of fairy tales like once upon a time. Over all, it was a cool and funny book.
I would recommend the book to people that like magic
October 18 to 30, 2013
Date when  I got the book from the library 
Length of book 333 pages
About the author :
Emily Rodda (real name Jennifer Rowe) was born in Sydney, Australia and graduated from the University of Sydney in 1973 with an MA (Hons) in English Literature. Moving into a publishing career, first as a book editor, and finally as a publisher at Angus & Robertson, Rodda's first book was published in 1984.
