Well, Hiccup survived the test and is now going through more Viking training. They encounter a missing treasure, a not-so-honest farmer and lots of adventure.

How to Train Your Dragon by Cressida Cowell, 214 pages


This is the book that the movie was based off of. It's a really cute juvenile book, with Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III being the son of the Viking chief, but the most unlikely heir you've ever seen. I'm hooked on this series now.

Plain Fear Forsaken by Leanna Ellis, 413 pages


I thought I had read just about everything until my supervisor told me about a book she had put me on hold for, An Amish vampire romance! I must say, this is a genre that probably doesn't need explored. People who enjoy vampire books generally don't read Amish books, and people who read Amish books generally don't enjoy vampire books. This novel proved difficult for me to really get into, and just wasn't that great. But I do think people should read it just so you can tell people about the Amish vampire romance book you read!
