Welcome back to top 10 books of the month

we are now onto out last book a walk to rember this has come first out of our top ten now i will tell you what i felt about the book

i really enjoyed the book a walk to rember i felt that the situation was realitable , and not far through the book you had developed a relationship with the main characters jamie and landon the story goes through alot of differnt emotions!

my favorite parts of the book were

1 the christmas with the orphans and how landon had donated his money so that the orphans could have a great christmas , but not only did the orphans have one of the best christmases ever so did landon he had experienced something that he had never experienced before he also received jamies bible witch landon new meant alot to jamie. i found this part to be very touching because jamie had never meet her mother and through her bible she felt that she had knowen her so she had givin up something that meant so much to her 2 i also enjoyed the play rehearsals because after the had practiced landon would walk jamie home and discuss differnt things through this you got deper insight into the carecters thoughts and i felt that this was a key part in the book! but my favorite part of all was probally at the wedding when jamie used the last of her energey to walk down the isle and marry landon and her 1st wish was completed “to get married in a church full with people” i i liked this part because she had fuffled her life long dream evan though it was hard she perserverd

in my mind jamie didnt die, evan though logicly she probally would have. i had began to like jamie and it would be sad 2 see her leave like that!

i would defenitly recomend this book i would rate

it 10 out of 10

In Tradwinds legends you play as a one of the 5 legend characters , each with there own backgrounds and personality! They each sail the seas on quests for the lords whilst unlocking new ports buying new ships and buying and selling cargo. But on your way to these places you’ll encounter pirates hostile ports , storms , and enchanted treasure and having to battle against strongholds tyrants and pillagers. Each time you defeat one of these you will end up with sums of money and treasure , the harder the ships the more money thats gained. you can chose to put your money in the bank and gain interest , the interest rate changes daily so make sure your putting it in , in a high intreats rate. This also goes for buying g cargo different moons mean lower of higher prices .

Overall this game is a very good game id defiantly recommend it and give it a rating of four out of 5 stars , the only thing that lets it down is the receptiveness of the games. :)
