Books, Books, Books

As a few of you may know, I am a major book worm. I have two pages worth of books on my birthday (a little over a month to go!!) and Christmas list. I read and take books with me everywhere. I even keep track of the books I have read in a spiral bound notebook, and have been doing so since 2004 (I started keeping track for a Personal Progress Project I thought of for Young Women and the habit stuck. I had to read 10,000 pages by the end of the summer). In the notebook, I list the title of the book, who it is by, and how many pages are in the book. Since January of 2004 to today, I have read 419 books, and 109,827 pages. That is pretty cool. (It took me half an hour to get all the math right, because I kept pushing a button too many times on the calculator that would throw the numbers off.)


Anyways... Since my last book post The Choice, I have read 9 books and am working on another. Most of the books that I have read since The Choice have been sequels or in a series. So I didn't post because I did not want to have to get into the whole series. Well this one is different. The book that I am currently reading, The Lost Queen by Frewin Jones, is a sequel to The Faerie Path.



The publisher's website describes The Faerie Path as "Swept away into a court of magic and beauty, she discovers she is Tania, the lost princess of Faerie: the youngest daughter of Oberon and Titania. Since Tania's mysterious disappearance on the eve of her wedding five hundred years before, Faerie has been sunk in darkness and gloom. The courtly Lord Gabriel Drake, who Tania was once to marry, has found her and brought her back.
With Tania's return, Faerie comes alive again as a land of winged children, glittering balls, and fantastic delights. But Tania can't forget Anita's world, or the boy she loved there.
Torn between two loves and between two worlds, Tania slowly comes to discover why she disappeared so long ago. She possesses a singular magical ability and she must use it to stop a sinister plan that threatens the entire world of Faerie. "

The Lost Queen continues as "Tania is a princess of Faerie.
And now she must return to the Mortal World.
Once upon a time, Tania was an ordinary girl. But then she was swept into another world, where she was the long-lost princess of the elegant and magical court of Faerie, and only she could save the court from great peril.
Now Tania—and her true love, Edric—will go back to the Mortal Realm to seek Queen Titania, lost hundreds of years ago while searching for Tania.
Their return leads to struggles with Tania's much-loved mortal parents and friends as she and Edric try to conceal their secret. But much more serious dangers lurk: The sinister Lord Drake is not yet defeated, they are pursued by dark supernatural forces, and Tania's two worlds are about to collide in amazing and frightening ways she never could have anticipated. "

So far, I am 50 pages into the book (I started yesterday afternoon) and it is pretty good. I loved the first book, it was soo creative and well written that I could not wait for this one to come out. If it is as good as the first one was, I will be very happy. Also, looking at the publisher's website, I noticed that there is going to be a third book coming! Yay!!
