“It had all been Cooper's idea. Two weeks before, during their weekly Wicca study group at Crones' Circle bookstore, they had been working with Tarot cards. Archer was describing the different cards and their meanings, and Annie had been fascinated by them. She'd been doing a lot of reading about the Tarot on her own, and it was fun to put what she'd learned to use. Archer showed them how to do a simple reading using five cards, and then they'd split into pairs to practice. Annie and Cooper had been partners, and Annie had really gotten into it. But when Cooper suggested that Annie tell fortunes at the upcoming school carnival, held every year before finals, she'd hesitated. For one thing, she was still getting over the events of the weeks before, when she, Cooper, and Kate had become involved in solving the murder of a girl at school and Annie had been used as a hostage by the girl's killer. Even more important, while she'd practiced with the Tarot cards a lot outside of class, sh e wasn't at all sure she could read them accurately, especially for other people.”
Here we head to book 4 of
Circle of Three. Book four is centered around Annie. In this book we learn more about Annie and what she brings to our story. All we really know about Annie to this point is that her parents died when she was young and she lives now with her aunt and little sister.

The Story of My Life by Helen Keller
Mass Market Paperback: 240 pages
Publisher: Bantam Classics (May 1, 1990)
Language: English
ISBN-10: 0553213873
ISBN-13: 978-0553213874“Gradually I got used to the silence and darkness that surrounded me and forgot that it had ever been different, until she came—my teacher—who was to set my spirit free. But during the first nineteen months of my life I had caught glimpses of broad, green fields, a luminous sky, trees and flowers which the darkness that followed could not wholly block out.”
The Story of My Life is Helen Keller’s autobiography, which covers her life up until age twenty-two. It explains her extraordinary circumstances and how she deals with her disabilities. It also discusses who she is as a person, her assorted faults and strengths, and her many passions. It was an interesting read, although there were some parts that seemed to drag on a bit.
