Grisly Grisell

This tale of a sad, unfortunate accident, the consequences, and the happy ending, all set in the medieval era, draw one back to that time when chivalry and religion were prominent and profuse. The descriptions are captivating and the story engrossing.
  The bookworm, who is very busy, highly recommends this book.

This heartwarming tale of a young boy's doubts in Santa and a magical ride on a train called the Polar Express, is perfect for a Christmas read. The many things the boy does while trying to decide if Santa's real and the imagery are truly worth the time this takes to read.
 As it is Christmas, the Bookworm must leave now, but it wishes everyone a Very merry Christmas.

A Manga

Amazing Agent Luna is not your average book. It is what is called a manga. An action packed, spy/romance book, it tells the tale of an utterly inexperienced young girl trying to find her way in highschool, while trying to gather information for her spy agency. This sweet and lovable manga series is addictive and funny, sweet and sad and best of all, unpredictable. Luna the main character is a sweet, efficient girl-spy, and the Bookworm definitely recommends her to you.
  (this post is rather short, as the manga is not quite complete....)

Fantasy and Sci-fi in one

This series about a young criminal mastermind/juvenile genius is one of the more suspenseful and thrilling series out there. Around every turn there is some new twist, some new plot or evil pixies to overcome. Filled with plenty of humor, sci-fi, fantasy and suspense to go around, this series is one the Bookworm enjoys reading over and over.
  The large cast of characters also helps in this brilliant series. A technical-minded centuar, an evil-mastermind pixie, an elf who the bookworm is having trouble describing as everything it thinks of is either to girly or to manly or to evil (she is not evil by the way), a side-splittingly funny dwarf and the man-giant guard of Artemis's every step. These  characters fill these pages, following Artemis as he plunges into adventure after world-saving adventure.
  The bookworm definitely recommends this series, and is going to go reread the last book this very moment.

Book Suggestions Welcome

The Bookworm forgot to mention that any suggestions its readers might have would be greatly appreciated. Just send them to this email: Midnightqueen97@gmail.com.
Thank you dear readers.

A Fine and Wonderful Series

This series, Guardians of Ga'Hoole, is probably one of the bookworm's favorites! Why? Because of the otherworldly feel to it. The owls with their fact and their fiction, the Great Ga'Hoole Tree grown in magical roots and the Band, Soren, Gylfie, Digger and Twilight. They especially are some of the best characters to meet. Kathryn Lasky does an extraordinary job bringing the world of the owls to life as the reader follows the owls into battle, danger, intrigue and evil plots.
  The myths of the owl's are no small matter either. They to have a place in this series, explaining some of the less fine points and giving even more depth to the characters.
  Therefore the bookworm highly recommends it and asks, no, Commands you, dear reader to sit down and fly with the Band into a wonderful book.

A Romance

 Jane Eyre is an alluring book. What makes it so? Is it the mystery of the dark foreboding house? The romance of a young governess falling in love with her wealthy employer? Or is it the sadness of the figure of a maltreated and lost child Jane and duped and heart-broken character of the adult Jane?
 It is a mix of these. Without each element of this enjoyable book, what a dull read it would make. Thus, the mystery of this book is in how Charlotte Bronte the author found such a delightful mix of the elements. 
 In fact, All Charlotte did was to intertwine the three in a complicated twist, an elegant and dark tapestry. The events unfold, the sadness twines with mystery, the mystery twines with romance and the romance twines with the mystery. 
 Thus our first book is indeed recommended, and The Bookworm urges one and all of its readers to sit down and dive into its deep and powerful story.

It is like so and is.

Books are all alike; every book is a book in its own way. Thus this Blog will take books and search through them, drawing out the parts of each book that make it what it is. 
  I will look at every genre of book, from Romance to Adventure, from Action to Manga. Each will be reviewed, and we shall try to pluck out their good and bad points, recommending or condemning them. 
  I will refer to myself as the Bookworm. Please, enjoy my Blog.
