Hello Bookworms!
Ok, so I'm still working on my schedule, finding time to blog and all that. So, I noticed that I haven't really posted that much about my book "Shadow of a Leader", or Soal, as I call it. Therefore, today I will be posting a riddle from it. This riddle is what starts the events of Soal, so it's not the kind to solve immediately. I hope you enjoy it!
~
Follow the star of the north ten days,
to seek out the answer, the cure,
Seeking my refuge in wavering ways,
Who'll find the answer? The pure.
From this dark mountain I'll seek my home,
then flee to the fortitude high,
I can return there from where I roam,
There where the answer shall die.
I sought for my rest then was searched for,
Through dark forests many have come.
I seek out the city of Luntror,
To darkness I'll never succumb.
I travel to seek out the answer for all,
Those seeking me will find,
That dark men when finding me will fall,
While only the pure will keep mind.
~
So, I know it's not much, but it is the catalyst for the story. I hope you enjoy! Thanks for reading!

Plot summaries, the Secret Life of Walter Mitty
Hello Bookworms!
How time flies when you're hard at work. That's not the actual saying, but it might as well be. It's true! When you are working hard on something, making sure you do everything just right, you use up a lot of time! So, I need to start scheduling my time better. Now, time to talk about a movie. There will probably be spoilers, but I'll try to avoid the main ones. (As if I'm good at that!)

So, I finally got around to seeing The Secret Life of Walter Mitty this week. Honestly, I wasn't planning on it, but it came on while I was waiting for another television show. So, I will keep this brief and to the point. The movie as a whole wasn't one of those "Brilliant, edge-of-your-seat action types with tons of comedic references", but it was well done. The basic premiss was more about normal life, and how "It's not so much about that character, but about how the seemingly unimportant things we know end up making us amazing" (Esther). The scenery was amazing! Iceland and Greenland, the Himalayas, excellent.
The acting was good, I especially loved hearing Patton Oswalt as Todd, hearing about all the places Walter was going. Of course, I couldn't help but think about Agent Koenig! Brilliant and hilarious!
My two favorite scenes would have to be when he actually jumps onto the helicopter and then seeing his face when he realizes, "Wait, this is real! I'm actually doing this! What was I thinking?" And when he out-drives the volcano. I loved that scene! (Yes, a bit of a pyromaniac) So, have fun watching it! Definitely a family movie, really well done. And come on, who doesn't dream like that?
