And on we go with the list. If yes and only 47 books, which I must write down: D
the Rest's then probably tomorrow
54th July 2009 Green Witch (Susan Cooper)
Part Three of "The Dark Is Rising" series. Here it goes again to Cornwall. Simon, Jane and Barney are there again, Uncle Merri are also the honor of the Grail, in the "comes before the flood" was found, was stolen by the workers of darkness from the museum, and Will Stanton, the readers from "Winter Solstice" already knows, is published with the three children. These are his first not very enthusiastic. Finally, they to wage a war against the darkness, and an outsider interfere since only - that he is a much more important part of this war, but they get to soon enough;)
as it may : the forces of light believe that the darkness stole the grail, to translate the obscure but very important message that is carved directly on it. For this you need a script that has yet to be discovered. For the guys it's on thieves hunting and fighting some of the darkness her helpers high, and is sometimes dangerous. Jane helps along the way, produce the eponymous Green Witch, which is traditionally built by women at night, only to be thrown into the water. Every woman and every girl can wish for anything at the time and Jane, who in this book is pretty central to the story, of course makes it just right ^ ^
Who wants to read a brief summary of the content in rhyme , click the following link that leads to a brilliant review on amazon.com: www.amazon.com/review/R2IJW5BMZBR7BX/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm
55th The Grey King (Susan Cooper)
The fourth installment of the series. Will be following hepatitis disease sent for recovery on a farm in Wales. Of course he has not long since his rest, and the darkness has to be thwarted again. The prophecy that had been on the Grail, he has forgotten during the illness, but he finds on his walks slowly back the memories, and begins to understand, too, as the text is meant.
In the search after a golden harp that he must play in order to arouse the sleeper under the hill, it helps Bran, an albino boy with golden eyes, turn his dog Cafall - is at least as extraordinary as himself - for dabeihat support.
56. The forces of light (Susan Cooper)
Fifth and final part of the series. It will be merged again all the important people and their families to play their role in the fight against darkness. This time, a crystal sword must be found to dwell on it and with the other power objects the darkness.
course there are happy endings, but many storyline was not at all to end so easily satisfied, not just because everything was just black or white.
The books by Susan Cooper I first read in middle school when a friend she had loaned me. Meanwhile, I have the whole series even in the possession, because I still knew that I liked it very much, and wanted to read again. Also about 10 years later I can say that my story is still very well liked. Children or youth fantasy I like anyway, and Cooper brings in their work and a lot of myths and legends that exist in our world, which makes things even intererssanter. That all still playing in Cornwall and Wales were from me again plus points, but because it often happens that one simply invents a complete fantasy world that takes an unspecified place or that something pullers locations are used; )
57th The night of dreams caught (Antonia Michaelis)
Fantasy old child for ten to twelve years readers. Terrific.
The two main points are the name I can: D
But a closer look: Frederic is sent to a new school where the pupils behave very strangely. All behave like robots in its class to learn, hardworking, and have no sense of imagination. This shows, for example, in the images that manufactured in art class. The all look identical. Only one out of line. Änna, a Girl from the back row seems to have retained some humanity. makes friends with her, Frederic to be a little too.
So far so good. But the fantasy part is yet to come. One day Frederic help of a very old woman in his house, and gets rewarded with vitamin A drops. After he has taken, he sees at once much better. It provides, what's wrong with other people. He discovered that Ännas is incurable limp so that they have a huge iron ball for fear it drags behind. The Latin teacher turns out to be bubbling carp. A particularly ambitious and formidable classmate has small mouths biting their fingers. And over the heart of his father a large festering wound that results from the death of the mother by a bicycle accident.
That is it all right and good, but it gets even better. Frederic sees at night, as director Bruhns - the man with the unnaturally dark shadow - pulls together a machine with two teachers in the city. Ironically, before Ännas room they stop and run hoses through her window. What is collected in the machine, it can be seen from the discussions of the offenders should be locked up in an old mill.
with some difficulty - Änna is indeed first and unimaginative as their classmates, and can not do much with Frederic - they find out what is going on with the whole thing is about, and save the day;)
I must say, I have indeed after the Read the blurbs meant that it could be a good book, but my expectations were exceeded total. The writing style is great, the story great, and cliché traps are skillfully navigated. The characters have become great. It may be the good, the bad one is afraid or has fun, not to like.
there anyway many fantasy readers who like children's books swallow. For people who do not normally that would be worth a try:)
58th Skulduggery Pleasant 02: Skulduggery (Derek Landy)
second part of the series. A third is already on the shelf, but is read by me only if part is available four, since they are related both parts.
But short on content: Skulduggery and Stephanie aka Valkyrie balance are saving more to go around the world. This time Baron Vengeous escapes his captivity, and attacked it, back the Groteskerium. A being that different from many malicious Creatures has been compiled, and practically can not be killed. This is to call for the Baron the faceless to obtain with the help of world domination. Skulduggery and Valkyrie are supported by China Sorrows and Tanith Low, two very different women with different talents yet.
ERSN As in part, the story is more in the background, and the action speaks for itself. As befits a buddy comedy, there are a lot of cool sayings, great fights and one or the other situation where you first only "wtf?" May think they then up again to explain from the perspective of other characters reads: D
As mentioned, reads like a movie, and I really would not mind the film actually even seen. Such a book is perfect for this. The sayings are already present in the book, but has no character to be bent. And the plot is not too complex, so that you are not behind it must be annoying that important elements were omitted.
59th The circle of the demon (Sarah Rees Brennan)
Nick and his big brother Alan is on the run, since they can think. The Magic Circle, together with leaders of the Obsidian Black Arthur is after them, as they believe because of an amulet that belonged to her mother.
Since the two unequal brothers have a reputation to gain an understanding of magic, one evening, Jamie and his sister standing Mae before their door and ask for help. Jamie was drawn by a demon. The character will change with time. First you can remove it yet, then it is permanent, and finally one is doomed. When Jamie is the second stage has arrived, and Alan, who passes on his protective amulet on Mae, even marked. Nevertheless, He agrees to take on Jamie's second stage so that its time may be removed. Nick is not enthusiastic about the whole thing, and nothing can be done with the siblings, but to help Alan he would do everything. So they go together to the fair of goblins in order to summon a demon that will help them.
A very good start to a hopefully qualitatively consistent (or even enhancing) trilogy. Content, I've frequently felt reminiscent of Supernatural, but thanks to Jamie and Mae was not then concentrated too much on the two main characters. In any case the book is thoroughly knitted exciting, and There are some phrases that are understandable, but not necessarily predictable.
For Supernatural Fans highly recommended, but also those who like to read fantasy and have nothing against demons;)
60th Bloodsucking Fiends (Christopher Moore)
Tommy Flood, his character from the land of innocence and unknown writer with no document, but adding, pulls into the city and works the night shift of the local supermarket. He shares a tiny apartment with five Chinese who want to marry him (to legality and such). And as if his life with the Chinese and his supermarket employees that are generally only referred to "the animals" not hard enough, he meets also on Jody. Jody looks stunning on and throws himself totally ran to him. The problem in fact: Jody is a vampire. Since she is asleep during the day - and it does very, very firmly, as the sun rises they can wake up practically everything, is it as dead) - it needs a helper, for them all done, what can be done only during the day. Tommy has since not mind, he finally becomes the Chinese go, and he has a hot girlfriend. Just stupid, that Jody from the Vampire pursues created them. Usually brings to his victims, but sometimes he can be one or the other are transformed, to then have fun trying to watch the new vampire, and watch how long he manages. Stupid also, that the vampire, victims who were killed in total Auslutschung disintegrate into dust, it does not take himself, leaving a pile of corpses that are always around in Tommy's found what he so two policemen rushes to the neck. (Anyone who has read the Dirty Job by Moore is familiar with long teeth again in some people. Among other things, said just Police officers, but also the Emperor and his followers again from the 61st batch)
Love at First Bite (Christopher Moore)
The direct sequel to "Bloodsucking Fiends" and just as well. Tommy has now made himself a vampire. All in all, he has nothing against the immortal. And the sex is almost unbelievable, but unfortunately the two have not thought of that with the transformation of Tommy also no longer there, the day can provide for their welfare. And then, of course, appears again to Elijah, the ancient vampire who still wants Tommy to the leather. And because that is not enough fed up are also the two cops back to the party. Only the animals can still leave Tommy, which prove to be real buddy. Just stupid that some of them soon prove a real dead miners after Elijah is going more and more aggressive.
So it is again haywire. But at least Tommy and Jody find a helper who is enthusiastic to the point. Abby Normal, a fact even Gruftiemädel would like to become a vampire. And it was only to surpass her friend Darquewillow Elventhing that the book of death has to get their hands (to the story of the death then the more sure-fire job: D)
62nd August 2008 Generation Doof: How stupid are we? (Stefan Bonner, Anne Weiss)
The authors claimed to have belong to the generation of Goofy. Together they have a nice collection of funny and sometimes embarrassing blunders, all housed beautifully arranged in categories. But also on reasons why we will always seem silly, it a go, but unfortunately not very detailed. Overall, it's more of a fun book as a textbook, as much a wasted potential lies in it. Too bad, but funny and entertaining it was for even in between ^ ^
63rd Love, Your Anna (Jean Little)
Germany, 1933. Soldan family - or rather the father of the children - decided to emigrate to Canada before it in Germany, everything is worse. Since they have just inherited a grocery store by an uncle who had emigrated earlier, leaving nothing stands in the way. The father is an English teacher and the children soon learn all the hard-working foreign language. Only the mother hesitates so long is beyond it, and even baby of Anna refuses to speak even one word of English.
you will anyway from the other . Stupid and kept in the school it was bad for them from the beginning
What nobody knows: she listens attentively to the others, and learns a lot of the language. She would only say, not what you might fear the siblings to make fun of them when they make a mistake.
will be arriving in Canada for Anna everything better. The doctor who examined them before they start there must be noted that it has an extreme visual impairment. It comes in a special class of such cases, finds a sympathetic teacher, they did not before whole class to the worm does, and good friends. Only at home, they will still speak no English.
The children's book I have among all the books discovered in my father's house sitting around Sun Once belonged to one of my step-siblings and tells a really nice story.
64th Since only help pistachios (Paula Danziger)
Cassie is thirteen and has a lot of problems. Her parents argue only that they found ugly, trying to pluck her eyebrows for the first time ends in a total fiasco. Their medicine of choice in such cases: red pistachios. Their mother, however, suggests always terrible to when Cassie is back with red fingers through the area.
How is that in such books so Cassie is going through a lot of stress first, then find good friends, and confides in already existing, and in the end things will get better. (And as the story here is, I consider the parents' divorce as a good thing, because separated parents are definitely less stressful than constantly arguing)
65 September 2009 . Blues for a full moon and coyote (Christopher Moore)
Sam Hunter, a young and very successful insurance broker just want to live his life and find a wife. The fact that he actually means Samson Hunts Alone, and Indians, he has been able to hide successfully. But then suddenly appeared again and again unexpectedly from an old Indian out of nowhere and ruined by little Sam's laboriously constructed spit experience.
As Sam finds out after a while the Indians none other than Old Man Coyote a wily Indian god who can transform into all kinds of living things, constantly thinking about sex, and on top of Sam's ghost or spirit.
In flashbacks we learn more and more Find out where Sam is coming from and why he ran away.
Overall again a witty book by Moore, but it points out that it was one of the first.
66th So full of rage (Pete Smith)
Jamal out in Frankfurt a normal student life. Until a friend - Jasmin - sent to their school for a laugh a Amokdrohung. Jasmin lands in court, and must for a weekend in the Jugenarrest, as an example. In the hustle and bustle nobody notices that slowly elsewhere paves an actual disaster.
"Ronin" writes online diary and is always coming from the poor world. When he Jasmin's action and the media interest will notice that he writes about how much attention and fame until a real culprit would get.
from Jamal's view told, interspersed with diary excerpts from Ronin, follow the story and walks slowly towards the inevitable end. The massacre itself is realistic over despite unusual weapon choice, and also to think about how you can prevent a massacre, there is no shortage in history.
I found good. Not lurid, realistic and startling. A detailed
here and good reviews can be found here: www.amazon.de/review/RP9VX5Q913G3F/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm
67th The magic thief - on the hunt for the stone of power (Sarah Prineas)
street boy Conn talks to thefts of water. Once he puts his finger but in the wrong pocket. He steals magician Nevery a "locus Magicalicus," a magician stone (without a wizard to nothing is worth) to Neverys surprise this theft takes the boy not to the point, as would happen normally. Out of curiosity is Nevery Conn as a messenger boy.
A disaster that must be prevented, it can not long in coming. So turns the built on a magical energy hub city of the magic, and sets off with his assistant Nevery Benet and Conn, to find the reason. Conn has his own way yet Magicalicus locus found to be trained as wizards may. The talent he had, but without matching stone takes Nevery in him. And he must find the stone within 30 days. Now there are damn many stones in the world, and in theory it could be anyone. Fortunately, Conn noted but after a while that his stone attracts him to speak. His pitch is his stone Royal is a jewel.
History is not only funny (the chicken Benet loves to knit) and well told, but the book is also beautifully designed. It will be pushed again and again diary entries from Nevery whose sides are then trimmed nicely on old and used. Including cup rim and everything still so one of them. And because Conner is a voracious young lad so, there is the back of the book or recipes for the bread he eats so much.
For children aged ten or younger when they particularly like read;) As so often, these are a trilogy, that is, the fun is over after the first band yet:)
68th Encircled - Cols history (Nadia Wheatley)
The young Australians Colum lies with two broken legs in the hospital, and indicate how it came about.
He grew up in a small Holzfällerkaff, which is dependent on the timber industry. Even without protesting environmentalists, there are enough problems, for example, with the weather. But these are not long in coming, as once again a large piece of forest to be cleared. Cols father loggers like everyone in the coffee, we see times on the bartenders and the Sheriff. Col itself secretly sympathizes with environmentalists, as he himself has a secret palace in the forest. An old house from a destroyed by a landslide town is completely overgrown with plants. His father, he can tell them nothing. The first person who finds any, where Col goes, if he withdraws into the forest, jade, an environmentalist, with whom he falls head over heels. When his father is going against the protesters, he rammed a bulldozer with the tree, sits on the Colum. All others - that is the "real" Environmentalists would rather have gone out of the way, only Col stopped. By the bulldozer he falls and breaks, so the legs. Not only that, his father throws him out at home yet, after all he has - the fact that his palace was now publicly yet, and was declared a National Monument - the loggers working away.
fact that everything will look back as told directly by Col, become very interesting. Fascinating and written with no black and white painting with evil and good.
69th I am not a serial killer (Dan Wells)
John Wayne Cleaver is 15 and has basically all the features that make up a sociopath. Because he is afraid to become serial killers, but which now do not really want, he regularly goes to a psychologist. He also presents itself to itself rules. He avoids confrontation, is animals out of their way not to be tempted to torture them, and when he realizes that his behavior is obsessive to a person, he imposes on himself, that person complete at least a week to go out of their way. He has also bought a token friend, with whom he can not do much really, who in turn finds quite cool, because John has a knack of putting other students in fear. What John is located, is that his mother prepared professional bodies, and may help. This is no longer allowed for him the worst punishment he could imagine.
One day, driven by a serial killer on the loose in John's town, and he begins to investigate. Observed the offender, even in a murder. To catch the perpetrators can be John's rules are rules, and can wake up the sleeping monster within him.
A very exciting book, with John as a narrator, to make matters more interesting, since its Thoughts are worth reading. Moreover, the story is peppered with references to real cases and offenders, for which I am interested in anyway. By naming a web address then my interest is totally flared up again, and I finally looked completely by Criminal Minds: D.
There are two more volumes, which I will certainly read it, because if John can hold back after his first murder to be interesting.
70th The Flight of the Fire Fairy King (Vanessa Walder)
sequel to "The Magic Curse of the Elf King," I have not read. We understand the story but even so:)
Erik is traveling with his class in the museum, when he suddenly noticed that reside between the exhibits, a few goblins. How could get nearly there? Of course, the goblins now make for chaos and moving - a trail of destruction and confusion, leaving behind - through the city.
When Erik and his sister Ariana received a call for help from the enchanted forest, they understand what is wrong. The global limit is broken. Fairy King Leandro needs the help of children to prevent a disaster. With the help of the kite commitment he has them in the Magic Forest fly to then strike out with them.
During his absence, in which he tries to cope with the human world and the goblins recapture, but there are still problems in the forest, because his deputy abused his position of power.
exciting and imaginative children's fantasy. The first part is certainly worth reading, but needs to be said for not understanding how to read file.
71st The town of rain eaters: Chronicles of the world viewfinder (Thomas Thiemeyer)
1893, Berlin. The sixteen-year-old pickpocket Oskar brings his career actually doing fine until he makes the mistake of Carl Freidrich to steal from Donhauser. It provides him with a small chase on foot, and although no one so well versed in the labyrinthine streets, such as Oskar, Donhauser keeps popping up in front of him. Oskar did not succeed him to hang out, and is finally numbed by it, by putting a white powder is blown in the face. When Oskar
regains consciousness, he is in the house of his victim. Donhauser is explorer and adventurer, who pretends to be happy as a descendant of Alexander von Humboldt. For his next expedition he can still a shrewd guy like Oscar need, and instead of punishing him, he makes him the offer to accompany him.
Together with Humboldt's housekeeper Eliza - a voodoo priestess, which also came the white powder - Humboldt's niece Charlotte - over the course of history less and less bitchy and lovable - and a Kiwi, a pet make Humboldt, Humboldt and Oskar on the way to the Andes to search for a long time believed extinct people, from whose city was high in the mountains a photographic plate of a lost researcher found.
will encounter on the trip and less friendly to nice people, discovered huge, dangerous insects, pursued by a former lover of Humboldt, and is finally of course the City. There is worsening the story to its climax when a risk of attack of the giant grasshoppers, and to be filled by the newcomers an ancient prophecy seems.
Very exciting classic adventure novel - is even today not as the trendy genre - with a tiny touch of fantasy. Has a little bit like Indiana Jones and stories. Again, this is only the beginning of a series, and so good that I can imagine reading the other books too. The characters are all well prepared, the foreign countries are incredibly well over, and the slightly more fantastic part reads quite realistic. I can only recommend.
72nd Murder in Swabia (Mark T. Mall)
A little fiction book about murder in my home ^ ^ It's about murders from the Middle Ages to the present day, the killings were carried out by the government, and killings by private individuals. Assassins running amok, etc. Was very interresting, but is unfortunately not much stuck.
73rd Black Shark (Werner J. Egli)
Kombüsenjunge Tommy goes to the Emma-Lou to Somalia. Also on board is Amy, the daughter of the captain.
Nuria is a girl who knows nothing in life except on the run to be. Before soldiers from slave traders, from predators.
Tarek and Omar, two young Somalis to travel around the country, soldiers shot and help villagers who are threatened by these soldiers. You are on the way to Black Shark, the famous pirates and rebels.
All these people are confronted with each other, as the Emma-Lou is captured by the pirates.
Together they go to their common goal. Tarek and Omar to go to Black Shark, Amy and Tommy free to Amy's father. Finally, there are violence and fighting. The scenes, as the pirate camp is attacked, have become terribly realistic, and indeed the whole book.
With nearly 200 pages it is also suitable for reading muffle, and the content is always worthwhile, if one is interested in the topic. So from the 14 should be read without problems.
74th Do not look now (Daphne Du Maurier)
's an Easy Reader was out of the English classes that I have read purely out of curiosity. Unfortunately, very short and simplified English somewhat cheap looking. From her story but not uninteresting.
runs a couple after the death of his daughter to Venice on vacation to relax, and there is molested by two old ladies who claim to speak with the daughter . The daughter seems to want to warn the couple and the woman is so worried that she leaves on the spot. The man is longer because he wants to take the car, and he can leave it until a day later ... Is it too well
ne film.
75th The way up to heaven and other stories (Roald Dahl)
Another Easy Reader. Roald Dahl I like, so I thought, I read the times. Now I know its cool but rather children's books, which are all really only recommended. This is more ne collection of old-fashioned ghost stories with humor and such. But I liked ^ ^
76th The dramaturgy of killing (Jincy Willett)
Amy Gallup is unsuccessful novelist. Once a promising newcomer, she has now put in 30 years anything anymore, which could be published. Your money she earns to give writing workshops. Among the participants there are always those that occur after the first hour no more, there are talented and totally untalented. In this course, but something is different. A participant begins to anonymously make fun of the work of his colleagues, offending the others and to terrorize with becoming increasingly nasty pranks. In his written comments is shown that the unknown participants is quite talented, but it is not so easy to figure out who it is. Amy suspected by and by everybody, and all try to figure out who is behind it for now. The whole thing is getting worse, until finally one of the participants is found dead.
Amusing crime novel of anything but typical. Overall, the story could be written better, but it was good enough to keep me entertained. Amy's thoughts on the students are wonderful, and the diary entries of the offender, and his comments are just to be working well in the story.
For me the more interesting since I even regularly go into the writing workshop. With Amy as a teacher I would certainly not be happy, but the whole thing is quite funny to look at from the outside.
77th Danny, the Champion of the World (Roald Dahl)
And since we already have the example of one of Dahl's children's books that I like you. I had read that far yet, and although I've sometimes taken the film, years ago, I am still not come to see the film.
Danny lives with his father in a trailer. The father runs a petrol station with workshop, and the two are happy, even though they are poor. Every now and then creeps to breed the father in the woods of a rich landowner, the pheasants and invite wealthy people to hunt can and grabs one of the animals. Since the forest rangers are also employees, that's a dangerous business, and when the time is missed because of such people, no Fassa comes to the table.
When Danny learns that his father is a poacher, he is initially horrified, but soon he will be just as well, like his father. Together, they hatch a plan on how they can steal just before the hunt pheasants all.
exciting and funny, just like Dahl writes ^ ^
