Wasn't as impressed with "The Runaway King," so I am curious to see how it all comes together.

I still need to read Shadow Throne, but with so many books to be read, I often don't keep up with series books. It's on my list though.Crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662811441487822589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7722037294375418886.post-13558673475958277182014-07-16T05:58:55.112-05:002014-07-16T05:58:55.112-05:00I just finished reading the entire Ascendance Tril...I just finished reading the entire Ascendance Trilogy series - and I feel an enormous sense of accomplishment that I've read all three novels. It didn't particularly wow me or leave such a huge imprint on me, but I can understand that this is a series that would resonate with most adventure-seeking readers. I've been seeing a lot of The Most Magnificent Thing and I look forward to finding it in our library.GatheringBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04477710897574769648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7722037294375418886.post-40652990658900114942014-07-15T12:40:07.765-05:002014-07-15T12:40:07.765-05:00Thanks, Elisabeth!

I am trying to think of a good teamwork challenge to do both before/after sharing The Most Magnificent Thing, to give the kids a chance to implement some of the lessons and ideas.<br /><br />As for the False Prince, I was less impressed with the sequel but am still planning to finish the trilogy out of curiosity. Will let you know. And no, I have not heard of the Thief series, I will definitely check that one out.

Once we invented the word, we all agreed it seemed like one of those words that ought to exist and serves a great purpose.<br /><br />I had previously enabled Google+ comments for this blog (which is what I still use for my photography blog, http://www.boostyourphotography), but when I started checking out other #IMWAYR blogs yesterday I realized that very few people seemed to be using Google+ and therefore wouldn't be able to leave any comments.<br /><br />So, I decided to undo the Google+ commenting and go back to the default Blogger comments, which provides several options (including Google). The downside is that if you change the types of comments you use, it deletes all previous comments using the other method.<br /><br />The one thing I really like about Google+ comments is that they directly link your Google+ profile or page to the web site and allow peoples comments on your profile/page to be viewed as comments on your site. Plus people can plus 1 which helps your SEO, but I thought the benefit of more people able to comment outweighed that advantage.<br /><br />Does that help? Let me know if you have more questions!Katie TheLogonautshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01692992719352402255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7722037294375418886.post-12864300742088426102014-07-15T12:33:16.995-05:002014-07-15T12:33:16.995-05:00Thanks so much for the comment and encouragement! ...Thanks so much for the comment and encouragement!

(Will probably use it in my classes for pre-service teachers too--a group of people who are surprisingly prone to perfectionism!) I enjoyed The False Prince but haven't felt compelled to finish the series, though I had 3 students in my Children's Lit class this spring read the trilogy. Have you read Megan Whalen Turner's The Thief series? False Prince reminds me a bit of that, only I think The Thief is much better.
