Everything a great historial YA should be. I really loved this book, a find at my school's library. The mystery was good, as was the romance. Apparently it was a battle book a few years back. I'm very much in the mood for more Historical Fiction! @Tamrawear #ya #historicalfiction #mystery

Kimberlone I read this one! 7y
Saknicole @Kimberlone what did you think? 7y
Kimberlone There‘s like a love triangle involving her betrothed and a mysterious newcomer, if I remember correctly? 7y

Saknicole @Kimberlone yeah and the aunt was evil and killed her mom and the first wife of the uncle. It was good! 7y
Kimberlone @Saknicole lol I definitely didn‘t remember that part. Doesn‘t it turn out the mysterious stranger has nefarious intentions, or do I have that backwards? 7y
Saknicole @kimberlone yeah he's kind of bad but not really. Either way she ends up with the original guy anyways. 7y

I am so happy to finally own this book! It‘s a used library book I got from AbeBooks. It is a shame that it‘s now out of circulation at that particular library but the book is in such great condition (the stickers were easy to peel off of the plastic library cover) and it was less than $4. Also this is one of my favorite books. #thecagedgraves #dianneksalerni #bookstagram #northerngothic #usedbooks #library #own #favorites #abebooks

demicaractere @CoffeeK8 Thanks! It's actually a dress I've had hanging in my closet for a while. I figured it would make a pretty backdrop 😂 7y

#riotgrams Day 11: Punctuation. The Caged Graves by Dianne K. Salerni is one of my very favorite books. I love the hint of mystery behind the graves and Verity and Nate‘s sweet blooming romance. Ah, Nathaniel McClure... What I wouldn‘t give for a dreamy man like him... @bookriot #thecagedgraves #romance #ya
