I'm really not that notorious I like to give myself random titles here and there. In fact I'm probably less than notorious.

I was only slightly put off by the fact that it didn't mention her name until the very end.

Man, for someone who dosen't post a lot I'm finding myself being the first to post on these things. I absolutely love the sheep! I'm not sure what it was about them but their just so unforgettably loveable. I'm still not sure how I feel about Tall Boy. I didn't like him at first but then I did like him but then I didn't, and then I wasnt sure who he was, but I think I liked him in the end. I want to go live in the Canyon de Chelly and drive sheep to the mesa every spring. I really liked it. Much better than I thought. I was really worried in the end, I wasn't sure if I would ever see Tall Boy again. And then they finally escaped! Hooray. I was really worried that the long knives would capture them again. Anyways it was definently deserving of its Newberry.

Hey Megan. I thought it was high time I posted something about books on this group. I finally started Sing down the moon. I actually wasn't planning on it when it happened. It was just sitting there on my nightstand (thanks to you, suppose) and I, being so fond of book shapes, found it open on my lap. It's a very quick read and I'm liking it better than I thought I would. The girl (who I still don't know the name of) has just been sold by the Spaniard to the Senorita. I like Rosita and I'm worried about Running Bird. I don't think I shall ever see her again. eep. I'm not sure I like Tall Boy. I love the sheep and the little black dog. So there you go, my thoughts as of now.

Hallo and well met! I am the notorious Amanda Greene. My interests include medieval history, swords and it's kin, writing, outdoorness, and meditation. I love to read books, mostly (though not limited to) fantasy. I am currently in the middle of the Fellowship of the Ring and am loving every minute of it. Here followeth a summarized version of my list of favorite books.
