Top Ten Tuesday: Books I Loved Less Than I Thought I Would

Book Review: When the Sea Turned To Silver
I just finished When the Sea Turned To Silver by Grace Lin this morning. And I’m not surprised at how lovely it is. Grace does an amazing job at integrating Chinese folklore seamlessly into a tale all her own. This is the third companion novel to Where the Mountain Meets the Moon…
