I would normally not even give this book a second look but it is written by the president of Rave Reviewers Book Club, Nonnie Jules, (and it was free) so I read it. I do not read self-help books or inspirational books or books about raising kids (since I have none), but this book is funny and light-hearted. Nonnie is open and honest. She really wants to share what shehas Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1707075050123347200.post-8191611363686202722014-04-27T17:34:00.000-05:002014-04-27T17:34:02.237-05:00Fairy, Texas by Margo Bond Collins
I really love fairies but I hate love triangles. BUT in the is book the love triangle works.
Laney is uprooted from Atlanta GA to Fairy TX when her mom reconnects with and marries her high school flame. They move in with him and his teen daughter on his ranch. Laney does not like the idea at all. She is befriended by several guys, Andrew, Mason, and Josh, instantly, much to the ire of her Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1707075050123347200.post-19205138813722671232014-04-27T17:05:00.001-05:002014-04-27T17:05:56.141-05:00Wicked Looking Caterpillar

I was given this ARC by Harper Voyager in exchange for an honest review.
So overall I give this book 3 stars. It gets 4 stars for story and characters, but only 2 stars for writing and plot line.
This is a modern retelling of the Scottish fairy tale Tam Lin. Apparently there are many interpretations of the story its just not one of the widely popular ones.

I received this book through the Harper Voyager super reader program.
So this book is way darker than Dreams and Shadows in many ways. The new characters are darker but so is Colby. The situations he finds himself in are also much darker and more dire.
It starts with a story from a distant land in a time long past that really seems to have nothing to do with our journey but we are Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1707075050123347200.post-24701675463769680812014-03-24T08:56:00.003-05:002014-03-24T08:56:31.973-05:00Killer Zombie Pack Contest: Win a Book, Sign and More! @ BittenByBooks.comhttp://www.rafflecopter.com/rafl/share-code/ODJlMmZkN2E1MTJhNDQwNWU0YmYzNDMxNTI5M2FjOjE4Mg==/Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1707075050123347200.post-32377492513778285502014-03-11T10:36:00.000-05:002014-04-18T16:30:04.439-05:00Emily and the Strangers by Mariah Huehner and Emily IvieI got this review copy from Netgalley.
This is my first Emily Strange comic to read. I have seen the merchandise at toy stores and online before but I failed to realize it was a comic book series.
In this one Emily wants to win a guitar that belonged to one of her heroes. In order to win she has to play in a band contest with other people. Emily is not someone who works well with others.

Just a simple story of 2 young boys. One boy and his djinn and one boy and his changeling. What? Huh?
Okay not so simple!
Ewan was taken from his human parents as an infant and replaced with a changeling. The same but not quite. Ewan was raised by the fairies for a special purpose. His changeling, Knocks, was returned to the fairies and Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1707075050123347200.post-32059421169418501742014-03-08T10:21:00.000-06:002014-03-08T10:21:08.659-06:00Where my Reviews goI post my reviews on Goodreads, Tumblr, Blogger, Amazon, and Barnes and Noble.
