Hi. I formally invite you to participate in my 25 Days Of Christmas Posting Contest. Basically, you post on your blog starting December 1st and posting every day after until December 25th. If your posts get the most views overall you will be declared the Winner Of The Twelve. But, there is a catch. Each post has to be about CHRISTMAS and nothing else. All miscellaneous posts will not be accepted. You will share your views of the blog by sending screenshots to my email <a href="mailto:1bryce.hughes@gmail.com" target="_blank">1bryce.hughes@gmail.com</a>. The winner will receive an Amazon Gift Card through their email. I wish you all the best of luck and may the odds be ever in your favor. If you have any questions, just email me!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Yours truly,<br />

Great book by the amazing author C.B. Cook. I highly recommend this book to fans of supernatural series and young adult fiction. Quick read but well worth my time!

They were well written. I'm looking forward to buying some of these stories when I get a kindle. I recommend these books for anyone really. I think they would be great to read to little children as a bedtime story. The vocabulary in them is not too hard but it is hard enough for the content inside. They both made me warm and fuzzy inside and I read them while I was snuggling under a blanket. I rate this 5/5 on the good book scale. </span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "times new roman"; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Probably my love of Christmas and growing up reading Christmas stories had the biggest impact on my wanting to write Christmas stories. I don’t think there can ever be too many Christmas stories, and I love adding to the number. :) And as for the inspiration of different stories, you never know what may inspire a Christmas story!</span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "times new roman"; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Yes, actually I do. I write many other different kinds of stories. I’ve written a western, some mysteries, a six book series set on a western ranch, a book about WWI, books set in modern times, and books of short stories. As you can tell, I’ve written historical fiction as well as modern. All of my books are family friendly. Meaning that I don’t put graphic scenes in them, or scenes that I wouldn’t want my 10 year old niece reading. One of my newly released books is written more for older readers, and while I wouldn’t mind her reading it, I don’t think she’d find it as interesting.</span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "times new roman"; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">To read or write? That’s rather a tough question. I enjoy reading many different genres, though there are some I won’t read or write (like is-fi, fantasy, thriller, or futuristic). Usually I write the kind of books I like to read. My favorites are Christian fiction, Historical fiction, and Christian mystery.</span></div>

What is your favorite book out of At The Christmas Lodge and A Christmas She Wanted?</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "times new roman"; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">“At the Christmas Lodge” would probably be my choice of those two books. When I wrote that story, I included many of the things that I only dream of doing. It was also one of my longer short stories so there was more happening in it even if the plot isn’t “exciting” or anything like that. Add to that, I loosely based some of the adults off of people I knew.</span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "times new roman"; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">When I was in school I hated writing! However, once I had graduated from high school and spent some time writing pretend letters with some friends, I discovered that the world of crafting words could be almost as exciting and interesting as reading an already written book. I started working on my first book, and the rest is lost in thousands upon thousands of written words.</span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "times new roman"; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Hmm, I’m not exactly sure. Perhaps it is because I become my characters. I live the story with them, and if I am feeling warm and cozy, it is easier to replicate that feeling in my story. Another thing that helps is the setting. If you don’t have a setting that your characters can relax in, your readers won’t feel it either.</span></div>

This book was great. I really loved the beginning and the middle but the end wasn't that great. It seemed to wrap up too fast. This is the reason the book is getting a four. We read this as a school read but it is my honest review :)<br /><br />Thanks and have a great day everyone,<br />Bryce Laser

Would anyone like me to review their book on Goodreads and Amazon? I would be glad to review them if you could send me a pdf of the book. All books must have no romance in them. I'm looking to make a list of books to read in January so I wanted to ask if anyone would like me to review their book!<br />
<br />
<b>Genres I'm interested in:</b><br />
Fantasy<br />
Young Adult<br />
Dystopian<br />
Contemporary Fiction<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Yours truly,<br />

<b><u>Books, Books, and more books! Goodreads Group</u></b><br />
Hello avid readers, how's your day going? Today I'm going to talk about the group on Goodreads called <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/group/show/310557-books-books-and-more-books" target="_blank">Books, Books, and more books</a>. This group was created by Lydia Clifford, a good virtual friend of mine. It is basically a book club that will hopefully be reading a book next month (December) together. We are still deciding that book. You can participate in many book related games and just chill with your fellow readers. There possibly might be a challenge over the summer where you have to read any book with whatever we say on the cover or in the contents of the book. Plus, better yet, you can give book recommendations! I mean, who doesn't like giving any? I hope you all have an amazing day and if you liked this post I would love if you would comment. I reply to every comment!<br />

Great read. Recommended for young adults and adults because there are mentions of prostitution in it. I would recommend this to anyone who likes the era where Hitler ruled Germany because it takes place at the same time in history, just in Lithuania. If you have any questions, feel free to ask in the comments! I'm glad to answer some. No spoilers in comments though, please.

Today was pretty fun. Got to mess around with Scratch on Finch robots, then had pep band and jazz band. During biology, I learned some about transcription and translation.</div>

I really don't know how I'll manage school and Nanowrimo and blogging but I will sure try! Today I edited the chapter 2 in my novel for Nanowrimo and went to school. I also finished a book today which is why I'm also posting a CWRJ at the bottom of this! Read on for more about this book.<br />

Mysteries Of Cove Series: I gotta say, this series surprised me. I thought it was going to be a dragon book for children but it was a very good book for the young adult that I am. I would encourage you to read this series :) The author is going to Indiana next year for a book signing if you do read this series and want to get it signed.<br />

Percussion</h2>
<div>
Hello fellow avid blog readers! Hows your day going? Please post in the comments and I will be sure to answer all the comments. So today's topic is Percussion. You may be wondering what is percussion? Percussion is a section of band with musical instruments played by striking with the hand or with a handheld or pedal-operated stick or beater, or by shaking, including drums, cymbals, xylophones, gongs, bells, and rattles. <a name='more'></a>I play said instruments at the school I go to! If you are still in school I would suggest joining band if you are able to, or choir if you aren't interested in instruments except your own voice :). The correct term for someone who plays percussion is a percussionist. I might be posting different topics like this daily. How many posts should I do daily? Please let me know in the comments! Percussion images below!</div>

Now, I would love if you would critique it in the comments. So, without farther ado, here is the chapter.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Chapter 1 (First Draft - 403 Words):<br />
<br />
Let's just say... I'm NOT in a good mood. Today is the stupid graduation ceremony and since I'm one of the top graduating students in my class I bet I'll get to be The Highest Apprentice. As I walk into The Quarry Graduation Hall, I am frightened by the fact that I might be The Highest Apprentice in less than 5 minutes. I wish I could just go back to the cold hole in the wall tavern that I live in. I mean, I could really do with a peanut butter and cricket sandwich right now, NOT kidding. I'm a hungry, hungry, hippo.<br />
<br />
"Welcome all to the graduation ceremony here at Quarry School. I will begin by calling students up to the front to receive their job titles. When I call your name please come forward" said Beata, The High Official of Education. At the time of this, Tina is still living on food scraps; she got a free education and because she is so smart she graduates at 13 years old; instead of the usual 15. I think to myself "If I get picked I'm going to kill Beata". I am feeling very angry because I know that The Quarry is an evil place that I am forced to live in but if I don't want to die or be exiled than I must stay here. People wonder why I hate The Quarry so much. It's because The Highest Officials and The Highest Official have killed many people over the years. Not many people know that.<br />
<br />
"Domi, Quarry Miner"<br />
"Adam, Quarry Miner"<br />
"Albin, Quarry Miner"<br />
"Danka, Quarry Miner"<br />
"Dosia, Street Sweeper"<br />
"Emilia, Street Sweeper"<br />
"Cyril, Food Production"<br />
"Edmund, Food Production"<br />
"Tina, The Highest Apprentice"<br />
<br />
Kids and parents applaud the students who were selected. They are especially proud of me... why ME? I walk up onto the stage to receive my job instructions from Beata. "I never in a million years would have dreamed that I would get this job! It's such... such an honor to be The Highest Apprentice" I said sarcastically. "Lucky me." I mumbled as I walked off the stage and out of The Quarry Graduation Hall. Wow, Dosia is really dumb if he got Street Sweeper as his job. Maybe I should have chose a better person for being in The Quarry Rebellion. Also, I wonder what powers I will get over other people for being The Highest Apprentice.LaboriousCoinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13210729091964541161noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956348040081580086.post-63598485828714083582017-10-21T12:58:00.001-07:002017-10-21T12:58:00.217-07:00OMG... aren't these images so cute :)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
