    It's Monday! What Are You Reading? 9/28/15

    Over the course of the week, I finished Serafina and the Black Cloak and absolutely loved it!  I also read Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas, which made me want the sequel immediately!  And I started working on Unusual Chickens for the Exceptional Poultry Farmer by Kelly Jones.  I didn’t get to any…

    It's Monday! What Are You Reading? 9/21/15

    This week I read Appleblossom the Possum written by Holly Goldberg Sloan which is a very different style from her previous work County By 7s.  It’s an adorable story about a little possum who accidentally falls down a chimney and with the help of her brothers is able to escape.  It’s an…

    A Snicker of Magic

    This has got to be my favorite book this year!  I finished this story yesterday and it’s still filling up my mind (making my newest read that more difficult!), but it’s difficult for me to leave such an enchanting story on the shelf!  A Snicker of Magic is about twelve-year-old…

    The Raven Boys

    I finally had the chance to read Maggie Stiefvater’s The Raven Boys and I want to start the second book right away. I picked up The Raven Boys for a few reasons, it’s something I’ve been meant to read for awhile now and when I picked it up I was…
