Magic Kingdom for Sale--Sold!
Magic Kingdom for Sale--Sold! | Terry Brooks
13 posts | 43 read | 17 to read
After Ben Holiday purchased Landover, he discovered the magic kingdom had some problems. The Barons refused to recognize a king and the peasants were without hope. To make matters worse, Ben learned that he had to duel to the death with the Iron Mask, the terrible lord of the demons--a duel which no human could hope to win.... From the Paperback edition.

THE CHILDREN‘S HOSPITAL BOOK MARKET IS BACK!!!! I browsed around for a good while this morning and snickered at every single [Genre] AF section because I have the sense of humour of a stereotypical 12-year-old boy.

Lreads 😂👏 2y

This day calls for some much-needed relaxing with a yummy candle and a few good books. And yes, that is a top hat on my ceramic fox. I thought it made him look jaunty 🦊😅

First fantasy book I every read was Wishsong of Shanarra and the first writers conference I went to I was able to meet him. Can‘t wait for RavenCon in Williamsburg VA!

Yesterday was weird. In the morning I went and picked up a free tube tv I found in the classifieds so I could hook up my snes. I spent the afternoon playing TMNT Turtles in Time and then early evening I watched X-Men cartoons and finished the night off reading this book.

Blast from the past much? I only intended on taking a peek at the book but all of a sudden I was halfway through. Guess I'ma finish it tonight. 😅

Johanna414 Sounds like a great day! 5y

Terry Brooks was the first fantasy author I read back in the 90s. I immediately fell in love with the Shannara trilogy (no longer a trilogy). He is a lover of books, but he definitely loves The Lord of the Rings. My favorite book of his is Magic Kingdom for Sale.

JulAnna I loved this book! Haven‘t thought of it in years! Thanks! 6y

And with that, I finished the quarter for #booked2018 JUST under the wire!!! This is my #childhoodfavorite reread. I read it when I was 12 or so and loved it, read the whole series, much prefer it to the Shanara books. But I don‘t remember it being this dark!! A little slow, but I still love the story. @Cinfhen @BarbaraTheBibliophage @4thhouseontheleft

alisiakae Way to go!! 🎉🎉🎉 You had an or so to spare. 😂😂 6y

I couldn't pick just one #BookishMap! A few of my favourite worlds to visit are those created by David & Leigh Eddings, Terry Brooks (Landover), Stephen R. Donaldson (the Land) and Frank Herbert (Dune). #ReadingResolutions

Ben purchases a Magic Kingdom from Rosen's annual Christmas Wishbook and enters it through a large oak #tree located in the forest outside of Charlottesville, VA.
I have no idea why this came to mind for today's post since I read this almost 30 years ago. I guess I am in for a re-read since I went through the trouble to pull it off the basement bookshelf.

#TBT After I'd burned through Narnia this was the next big fantasy series that sucked me in & gave me a great new world to explore. Who wouldn't want to chuck it all & buy a magic kingdom of their own to run away to? Lots of people I'm sure, but when it turns out to be more than a scam, Ben Holiday is as surprised as anyone & that's before the dragon, talking dog, tree folk, oh & did I mention the demon that wants to claim this kingdom as his own?

JPeterson I loved this series growing up! In fact, everytime I make the 7+ hour trip to visit my grandma, I try to reread all of them! 8y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @JPeterson did you see that about a year ago he wrote a new book for this series? 8y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa I just looked, it was more like 5 years ago...LOL 8y
JPeterson What? No way? I never knew! Know I have to go read that! 8y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @JPeterson Yes Way! A Princess of Landover (it's about there daughter)👍 8y
