Blog #2: Reading Heartland

Over the past year or so, I have not read many books, but there was a series that I really enjoyed reading. It is called Heartland and it is written by Lauren Brooks. She writes about many characters and their experiences with horses. Of course only I would write about them, but I have not really read anything other than this series, which includes around 25 books. The first one that I read was towards the end of the series, so I was sort of lost, but it was still amazing. So the series is about a group of people who are related some way or another, and they pretty much put horses through rehab. Through out the 16th book, I got introduced to the characters and got a lot of info on the animals that they were working with. I love the series and plan on continuing reading them. So far I have read 16-20 and 1- 7, I think. I will probably end up rereading them like many other people that reread there favorite books.

A book that I liked

I didn't really read anything over the summer, but last year in english I read the Chronicals of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, and thought that after seeing the movie it was awesome. Every person that reads this has probably read it or at least seen the movie, so ill just tell you some differences. In the movie, when Cedric walks into the Queens castle for the first time, he was freaked out by the wolve that he thought was fake but was actually real. And in reading the book, he was actually afraid of a lion that he thought was real, but was actually made out of stone. Another was when the beaver was first introduced in the book, he came out of nowhere and started telling the kids to follow him, while in the movie, he prentended to not even be able to talk. I found the book to be alot more confusing, because of it being alot more detailed and me being a very visual learner.
