Update on Labels

   Hey again! Just an update. I'll be changing up the labels so things are easier to find, and one thing I really want to get to is how to find series books. What I mean is that books series like Avalon; Web of Magic, and Pokemon Adventures, will now have their own labels because they have so many books in their series.Thanks for reading and I'll be blogging more soon! ;)

Review on "Manga Mania Shonen" by Christopher Hart

Mangamania shonen : drawing action-style Japanese comics
"Manga Mania Shonen; Drawing Action-style Japanese Comics" by Christopher Hart
  "Manga Mania Shonen" by Christopher Hart instructs how to draw a popular type in the Manga genre, Shonen. Shonen is the Japanese Action-style comics featuring ninjas, warriors, and even magical battle Monsters. The book teaches how to draw characters in different positions, how to make them detailed and life-like, and even how to create dynamic manga comics strips to help you meet your full potential drawing Manga Shonen. I myself am more into drawing manga styles such as Shoujo right now (Which he also has a book on.), but I really enjoyed reading this drawing instructor  for it's easy to understand guides, great art, and indexes. If you want to learn the popular manga style Shonen, I would diffidently recommend this book! Reserve it at your local library, or buy it yourself!

Review on "Avalon, Web of Magic; Circles in the Stream" book 1 by Rachel Roberts

Circles in the Stream.
"Avalon, Web of Magic; Circles in the Stream" Book 1 by Rachel Roberts
It hasn't been long since Emily had moved from her old old state. Her new town is nice, but not much goes on, and school is just around the corner. Her mom works at the Vet Clinic and after seeing the commotion, she's appalled. Somehow, in the suburbs of their neighborhood, a Leopard is taken in and is in really bad condition. She wonders why no one seems to see the bright green ooze coming out of every single one of wounds, and then she begins to think the animal is talking to her! When she asks where it came from, her mother tells her that the girl in the corner of the room found out in the woods. Emily didn't even notice her the entire time! When the dark haired girl eventually leaves, she runs right into the woods. Emily's mother's Vet assistant tells her that she's the creepy kid from Ravenswood Preserve, the place where nobody dares to enter due to it's long history of strange "Monsters" lurking there. The thought of monsters seems stupid to her, because she doesn't believe they exist. Her father, a scientist, has always told her if you can't explain it, it doesn't exist. She decides to just leave the thought alone, and continue on.

     Later that night, when she checks back on the Leopard, that had apparently come out the "Haunted Woods", she still notices the light green ooze glowing through the gauze on her body. She almost starts to think that maybe their are toxic chemicals being dumped and left their just because that's put in a way where she can explain it. Seeing that the Leopard is still in quite a bit of pain, she decides to sleep next to her cage for the night just to make sure she feels better. And for the last time that night before she fell asleep, she hears the same familiar voice, but this time it says "Home".

  What happens next? I would diffidently recommend this for kids that love fantasy, friendship, and talking ferrets! I've loved this series since I first read it, and I read the entire series in only a few months!

"Grab-a-Book" Month coming this July!

   Hey again! This is an announcement that this July is "Grab a Book" month! Or maybe I should  say "Grab a Books" month. They key is to go to your local library, and check out the first 3-5
     books you see. It may be better to do it in sections like Juv. Fic. (Juvenile Fiction). You can take your time if you want to, but the challenge is to see whether or "Judging the Book by it's Cover"
  really is as affective as it used to be (Which it really wasn't all that affective). Their is no prize, btw, but I hope you learn from it. Starting July 1st, LA Awesome Books and Reviews will start the challenge. Here how to do the whole challenge;
  • Go to your local library.
  • Get the first 3 to 5 books you see in an appropriate section. 
  • Read all 3 to 5 books. 
  • NOTE; If you are really not enjoying a book you are currently reading for the challenge, you are free to swap out your 3 to 5 books, and can read the other from the original pick if you want. ;)
        To share your results;
  • Go to LAAwesomeReviews.blogspot.com
  • Use the comment section to share your results, Featuring the name of every book, the authors, and what you thought of them, and how it changed your perspective.
  Easy as that! Remember, it starts July 1st, so you have plenty of time before it starts. And also remember their is no prize, it's just a way to get a fresh perspective on books (Yes, real books, not E-books. Lol). Hope you help get the word out! I'll be blogging more soon! ;)
