Sweep, Book of Shadows by Cate Tiernan

Something is happening to me that

I don't understand.

I see things, feel things in a new way.

I can do things normal people can't do.

Powerful things. Magickal things.

It scares me.

I never chose to learn witchcraft.

But I'm starting to wonder if witchcraft

is choosing me.

Dragon Art

Dragon Art, how to Draw Fantastic Dragons and Fantasy Creatures by J "NeonDragon" Peffer is a drawing book that teaches you how to draw dragons mostly, and a few other magical creatures. As the back of the book says: How to Draw a Dragon: "Cautiously approach the dragon, offer it a piece of candy or a little sister, and draw while it happily munches away." I like this book because it has allot of great artistic ideas.

The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien

Bilbo Baggins was a hobbit who wanted to be left alone in quiet comfort. But the wizard Gandalf came along with a band of homeless dwarves. Soon Bilbo was drawn into their quest,  facing evil orcs, savage wolves, giant spiders, and worse unknown dangers. Finally, it was Biblo- alone and unaided- who had to confront the great dragon Smaug, the terror of an entire countryside!

Mrs. Byrne's Dictionary By: Josefa Heifetz Byrne

This fascinating work is a dictionary of  unusual, obscure, and preposterous words.  It contains thousands of the weirdest words in the English language, but the definition of each each word has been written clearly and directly.  And, incredible as it may seem, every entry in this book, even the most ludicrous, has been accepted as a formal or legitimate English word by at least one major dictionary.

Although Mrs. Byrne's Dictionary has enough humor in it to reward casual browsers, it is intended to serve as a supplement to a desk dictionary.  Such words as heredipety (legacy hunting), nikin (a very soft creature), noctuary (a diary of nighttime activities), pantophobia (fear of everything, cowardice), and saginate (to fatten, pamper) may soon be given general conversational currency.


Mrs. Byrne's Dictionary is the most helpful reference for students, writers, or anyone unable to locate just the right expressive word in a standard dictionary.

Maximum Ride, The Angel Experiment

Do not put this book down.

I'm dead serious.

Your life could depend on it. I'm risking everything by telling you-but you need to know. --Max

Her full name is Maximum ride. And the girl can fly. In James Patterson's blockbuster series, fourteen-year-old Maximum Ride, better known as Max, knows what it's like to soar above the world. She and all the members of the "flock"--Fang, Iggy, Nudge, Gasman and Angel--are just like ordinary kids--only they have wings and can fly. It may seem like a dream come true to some, but their lives can morph into a living nightmare at any time...like when Angel, the youngest member of the flock, is kidnapped and taken back to the "School" where she and the others were experimented on by a crew of wack jobs. Her friends brave a journey to blazing hot Death Valley, CA, to save Angel, but soon enough, they find themselves in yet another nightmare--this one involving fighting off the half-human, half-wolf "Erasers" in New York City. Whether in the treetops of Central Park or in the bowels of the Manhattan subway system, Max and her adopted family take the ride of their lives. Along the way Max discovers from her old friend and father-figure Jeb--now her betrayed and greatest enemy--that her purpose is save the world--but can she?

VT Drivers Manual

I was wondering if I could start a blog on the Vt Drivers Handbook. This especially apply to people that are getting ready to take their permit test. My thought was everyone can post on here things they are having trouble remembering or things that are unclear to them. Of course it will only work right if people actually participate and read the book.
