Changes to The Ten

Hey! I know it's been longer than forever since I posted, but now it's summer! Yay! That means a lot less school work and a lot more talking about books. Though I have graduation today and I'm sick, I thought I ought to log on and at least post some of the major changes that have occurred in my Top Ten recently. Never have I had so much movement in so little time, so it's really kind of exciting. The first thing you should know is that, as of October, I've ditched Artemis Fowl for Mistborn. I recently re-read the Mistborn series for my school book club, and realized that it really deserves to be in my Top Ten. When it came down to which book I was going to kick out, Artemis Fowl seemed the most obvious choice due to it's blatant lack of literary merit, and the fact that I'm getting a little too old for it. I hesitated at first, though, because I have so many fond memories attached to Artemis. Then the sixth book came out, The Time Paradox, and was so incredibly awful that it tipped me over the edge.

The second important news is that I've finally managed to squeeze The 13 1/2 Lives of Captain Bluebear into The Ten. I've been trying to do it for ages, but I loved all the other books way too much to leave them. Then, in an amazing stroke of convenience, my AP Literature class decided to read Hamlet as our post-AP test project, and I shortly discovered I loved it more than The Tempest and A Midsummer Night's Dream combined. So Tempest and Midsummer Night are out, and Hamlet and Bluebear are in.

That about wraps up the breaking news, and hopefully now with all this time on my hands I'll be back to writing reviews in no time!
