Nyxen's Featured Blogger of the Week (1)

I want to do something on this blog that I haven't really done before. I want to show my appreciation to other bloggers. I want to give one a blog a post all about their awesomeness. That's what I've decided to do.

First up is a blogger whom I completely adore.

Let me introduce you to Reading Vacation!



Melina is an eleven-year-old girl who I first discovered when I was starting out in the blogging world myself. I thought it was completely insane that a ten-year-old (she was ten back then) was among the interent, no less than reading and blogging. But then I thought about it and I'm like, "Oh, wait, I was among the interwebz when I was ten also." Melina is this cute, adorbale pre-teen girl (I think pre-teen) whom I admire so much. I love the fact that she is an avid reader and isn't afraid to announce it to the whole world.

Melina is a great friend and an even greater blogger. I just wish we would be able to talk more to each other.

She's going to go places, Melina is. I can already imagine her a successful whatever she wants to be. Her blog is very successful already and I'm sure that isn't the end.

Melina, you are one truly amazing girl! Keep doing what you're doing and never falter from it. :D

And that was the first installment of Featured Blogger of teh week. :D

Until next time,

Nyxen Has Melina From Reading Vacation On The Blog

THE GOOSE GIRL
By: Shannon Hale
Summary from Goodreads
She can whisper to horses and communicate with birds, but the crown princess Ani has a difficult time finding her place in the royal family and measuring up to her imperial mother. When she is shipped off to a neighboring kingdom as a bride, her scheming entourage mounts a bloody mutiny to replace her with a jealous lady-in-waiting, Selia, and to allow an inner circle of guards more power in the new land. Barely escaping with her life, Ani disguises herself as a goose girl and wanders on the royal estate. Does she have the pluck to reclaim her rightful place? Get ready for a fine adventure tale full of danger, suspense, surprising twists, and a satisfying conclusion.

INTERVIEW WITH ANI

Q Some fortunate people in your land have been blessed with one of three magical gifts. These gifts are people speaking, animal speaking, and nature speaking. Which gift do you think is most valuable?

A I think nature speaking is most valuable because it allows you to learn the secrets that nature holds dear. The person who is blessed with this most powerful gift must be trusted to use it wisely.

Q What animal is your favorite to communicate with?

A May I choose two? My favorite would be a tie between the swan and the goose. The swan was the first animal that spoke to me. I learned about the swan’s struggle as it matures into a graceful adult. The geese taught me that they are noble fighters and they are fiercely loyal.

Q Who is your BFF?

A Oh that’s easy. Enna is my very best girlfriend. I trusted her with my secret and she did not let me down. She also has an awesome personality and can make me laugh.

Q How is your relationship with your mother these days?

A We remain distant, but I have forgiven her for the past. She thought she was doing the right thing for the kingdom when she sent me away. In the end, being forced to leave was the best thing that could have ever happened to me.

Q Is there a lesson to be learned from your story?

A Your true friends will stick by you no matter what.
