 I have finished the third Book. Here are the details. 

Title: Midnight for Charlie Bone

Author: Jenny Nimmo

Pages: 401

Hours Read: 1:45

Copywrite: 2002

Publisher: Scholastic  Inc.

Midnight for Charlie Bone  introduces us to the Children of the Red King for the first time.  Charlie Bone is an 11 year old boy who discovers that he is “endowed” with an unusual talent.  He can hear the imprint of what happened when a photograph was taken and this leads him to the mystery of a lost baby.  With the help of his friends and some of the other endowed children Charlie solves the mystery and becomes involved in the war between the two sides of the Children of the Red King.

Now I have read 1544 pages, a number of hours.  Time for one more. 🙂

I am finished my second book and here are the particulars.

Title: Wizards at War; Book 8 in the Young Wizards Series

Author: Diane Duane

Pages: 552

Hours Read: about 6 hours

Copywrite: 2005

Publisher: Harcourt Inc.

At this point in time Kit and Nita and the crew are on a mission to save the universes. The older seniors have lost their wizardry and it is up to the young wizards to fix the problems and help two essential things to happen.

I really like Diane Duane’s writing style and the fact that she doesn’t talk down to her audience. Though this is YA fiction she has a lot of interesting ethical debates as well as intellectual ones.

So in summary, I have finished 2 books, read for approximately 13 hours (I am also listening to an audiobook at the same time) , and finished 1143 pages. I have spent about an hour blogging. Now on to the next book, as I only have until 11pm tonight.
