pickThis book reminded me a lot of the Magnus Chase series by Rick Riordan (I‘ve never read the Percy Jackson series but I assume it‘s similar to Magnus Chase). It had that same adventurous spirit.
The world building was well done. It was easy to understand and follow. The book included a map, which also aided in comprehension.

This cutie was reading today. We got a new book from B&N yesterday. She squishes my heart. I love her so much. #likemotherlikedaughter
pickWhat do Cinderella, Harry Potter, & The Crowns of Croswald have in common? Awesome orphans, hiding away, & magic.
What is different?
Ivy Lovely is so much more endearing!!

“It wasn‘t like one of those scenes in a movie, where the princess floats lightly into the waiting hero‘s arms. I was more like an anvil that comes plummeting down on a cartoon character‘s head. I fell, like a graceful barbell, right on top of Neel.”
😆 made me chuckle.

Jumping right in to the second book in the series! #reading #middlegradefantasy
“The inside of the ship looked like a floating Cheesecake Factory. It looked like a huge fancy gift shop. It looked like the tomb of King Hallmark III.”
Adam Rex is a breath of fresh air after the Chris Colfer stinker I just finished. Wednesday night is family reading night. No TV allowed! #MiddleGradeFantasy
I cannot express how much I am loving #Nevermoor by Jessica Townsend! I think I'd be tearing through it in book form too if I wasn't already 2/3rds of the way through the audio version (which is also brilliant). Drop whatever it is you're doing and find a copy! Now! Please!

pickFor a middle grade fantasy, I enjoyed this story (chosen to please my 14 y.o. daughter who is currently obsessed with it). I found it an enjoyable palate cleanser after several darker adult reads lately, even though I predicted several of the "twists". #middlegradefantasy #readtodiscusswithelise
My cat doesn't believe that being a princess can be association with curses. She's a diva cat & queen of her realm (our house), so I suppose she ought to know. In other news, I am LOVING this book by Merrie Haskell! Think "The Blackthorn Key" by Kevin Sands meets "The Girl Who Drank the Moon" by Kelly Barnhill in a twist on the fairy tale of the Twelve Dancing Princesses. #winner #amreading #middlegradefantasy #fracturedfairytales @HarperCollins
