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? 9/14/15

    I’m two weeks behind in my reading, but since I didn’t get to much this week this should work.  Over the past two weeks, I finished Shadowshaper, which I absolutely loved.  I also got my hands on a copy of Sunny Side Up and was blown away by the Holm’s take…

    It's Monday! What Are You Reading?

    I started off the week with a light read called, Clayton Stone, At Your Service which was a fun, adventure story about a young boy who finds out his family works for the secret service. It’s not necessarily an earth-shattering story, but a quick story, perfect for a reluctant reader. The…

    I absolutely love fairtale retellings and fractured fairytales.  They’re some of my favorite stories.  Below is a list of books I’ve read and there’s a bunch more on my TBR pile.  I’m going to try and write up 140-character or less (a la Twitter) descriptions of each book.  Find something…
