Oh, and I found something interesting at Percy Jackson and the Olympians section. You see, the book in the middle, the fourth book of the series, The Battle of the Labyrinth. It is the older cover. The newest cover dominated by red and looks like the two books on the right and left of The Battle of the Labyrinth.



 

 

 

 


It’s not important, I know. But I just found it interesting. Why did they put the older version when they have the newer? And they only put the older version for the fourth book.

But, it doesn’t matter. I already have all of the books, on both versions. So, I have 9 books of the series (The fifth book, The Last Olympian, has not the older cover version).

Here is another book that I’ve been waiting for. The second book from The Boy Sherlock Holmes series: Death in the Air. I love Sherlock Holmes and I always buy every book that has Sherlock Holmes as the character. Like, let’s just say… Tracy Mack and Michael Citrin’s Sherlock Holmes and The Baker Street Irregulars series. I love that serials.


 

 

 

So, I bought this book, and take this picture on March 11th. But… I just post it now. I’m sorry. A little bit busy here, and I haven’t mention about the accident I had. But the point is, this book is so cool. Also the first book, Eye of the Crow. It is great. I suggest you to grab it instantly at bookstores.

Well, well, my first post on 2012. It’s been months since the last time I posted. I want to show you some pictures when I went to a Book Fair. I’ve finally found the book I’ve been waiting for months :)



 

 

 

Yup! Rick Riordan’s The Lost Hero. The first series from The Heroes of Olympus. Sequel of Percy Jackson and the Olympians. I don’t like the cover so much. I prefer the U.S’s cover. But… never mind! I enjoyed the book, though I have read the English version months before. And for my visitors, who have not buy the book yet, I suggest you to hurry. This book is magnificent!

 

 

 

 

 

 

P.S: I actually bought this book and took this picture on March 11th ;)

Lord of the Rings -Poets (Book 1)

Okay, this is some poets, songs, and elses from the Lord of The Rings I- The Fellowship of The Rings.

 

--Don't know exactly why I'm posting this, but...  I hope this could be useful :)--



THE PROPHECY

Fellowship of The Rings

Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,

Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,

Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,

One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne

In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.

One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,

One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them

In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.


 

WHERE THE ROAD GOES

 

Fellowship of The Rings

The Road goes ever on and on

Down from the door where it began.

Now far ahead the Road has gone,

And I must follow, if I can,

Pursuing it with eager feet,

Until it joins some larger way

Where many paths and errands meet.

And whither then? I cannot say.


HOBBIT’S SONG

The Fellowship of The Rings

Upon the hearth the fire is red,

Beneath the roof there is a bed;

But not yet weary are our feet,

Still round the corner we may meet

A sudden tree or standing stone

That none have seen but we alone.

Tree and flower and leaf and grass,

Let them pass! Let them pass!

 

Hill and water under sky,

Pass them by! Pass them by!

 

Still round the corner there may wait

A new road or a secret gate,

And though we pass them by today,

Tomorrow we may come this way

And take the hidden paths that run

Towards the Moon or to the Sun.

Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,

Let them go! Let them go!

Sand and stone and pool and dell,

Fare you well! Fare you well!

 

Home is behind, the world ahead,

And there are many paths to tread

Through shadows to the edge of night,

Until the stars are all alight.

Then world behind and home ahead,

We'll wander back to home and bed.

Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,

Away shall fade! Away shall fade!

Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,

And then to bed! And then to bed!

 


THE ELVEN-SONG

Fellowship of The Rings

Snow-white! Snow-white! O Lady clear!

O Queen beyond the Western Seas!

O Light to us that wander here

Amid the world of woven trees!

Gilthoniel! O Elbereth!

Clear are thy eyes and bright thy breath!

Snow-white! Snow-white! We sing to thee

In a far land beyond the Sea.

O stars that in the Sunless Year

With shining hand by her were sawn,

In windy fields now bright and clear

We see your silver blossom blown!

O Elbereth! Gilthoniel!

We still remember, we who dwell

In this far land beneath the trees,

Thy starlight on the Western Seas.

 


FRODO’S SONG

Fellowship of The Rings

Ho! Ho! Ho! to the bottle I go

To heal my heart and drown my woe.

Rain may fall and wind may blow,

And many miles be still to go,

But under a tall tree I will lie,

And let the clouds go sailing by.
