"This Made
Me Think of You" by Emily Bird is a poetry book about love. I enjoyed
reading this poetry book because it had deep meaning. This poem describes love
with words using a double meaning, creating a more interesting word choice. I
believe this book was significant to express the connotation of love. I would
recommend this book to people who like poems and/or love genre.
Claire lives a fairly boring life. Her mother owns a Tavern.
Her job is simple; stay behind the bar, wash the dishes and clean up. One night after Claire has gone to bed she is
awoken by her mother. Her mother helps her dress quickly and ushers her out of
their house. Their town is ablaze. Then the real terror begins. Clare sees the Centaurs
who are determined to destroy the people of her town. Her mother runs with her
through the fields. She gives her a dagger and tells her to run into the
forbidden forest, known as the Cursed Forest. This is where her journey begins.
Found by an Elf, she had no idea existed she is taken to the palace and presented
to the King. She discovers a mark on her
hand and arm that begins to glow blue. From here she is forced into a mission
With two Elves, Aeron and Farron. What do they want with her and where are they
going?
This book was full of twists and turns. Claire doesn’t know
who to trust and it seems her companions don’t either. The world building is awesome. Each city they
visit is described in a way that you can imagine it in your mind. The hint of
magic that runs throughout the story lends an element that keeps you
reading. The ending was one I had not
seen coming. I can’t wait to read the
other three books in this series.
A young girl grows up having so much fun. Then one day she
realizes it would be a lot more fun if she had a brother or sister to play
with. She tells her parents she wants a
sibling. Eventually her mom has another baby and the little girl is thrilled. This
is where real life sets in. The baby cries a lot and needs a lot of time and
attention from the mother. The little girl feels left out. Mom sits her down
and explains that her sibling is a gift from God. From that point on the girl
takes special care of God’s gift. A
wonderful way to let children know how special they are, and that all children
are a gift from God.
