The Measly Middle Ages

If pages were humor, just by reading this book I could have had my 900 pages already. The Measly Middle Ages tells you everything you would want to know (and wouldn't want to know) about the age of Knights in Shining armor. 128* pages of hilarity.
*Counts as double pages

The Groovy Greeks

The Groovy Greeks= A HILARIOUS book by Terry Deary on everything Greek.       Throughout all 79* pages the author pours in accurate historical information, gruesome stories, and hilarious truths. A book for anyone that likes Greece or likes a laugh.

*The Enrichment Reading List said it counted for double pages, so that would be 158 pages.

Point Blank

Point Blank is a two hundred eighty-eight page book by Anthony Horowitz about teen superspy Alex Rider. Alex must embark on a quest to infiltrate the headquarters of the insane Dr. Grief. Edge-of-your-seat action, awesome gadgets, and EVIL villians. Great read.

My Song

My song is Frodo's Theme* from The Lord of The Rings. I chose this song because it reminds me of how Frodo must be brave, viligant, and have faith to destroy the One Ring. I tend to lack those traits, and it helps me to know that if you have those qualities, you can accomplish almost anything, even if it's destroying the most powerful weapon in the universe.
*for some reason the link makes it so it brings up a page that includes my song, but does not have it on the GrooveList (is that what it's called?)
