Dec 12, 2017 (Updated Dec 12, 2017)
One look at the cover and it makes you think that this is a kiddie book, but the saying; "Don't judge a book by its cover" rings true here.
Ayana and Tyler stumble upon a book sitting on a dusty shelf in the library that changes their lives as the book is all about how to summon dragons. However, they screw up and something magical happens, and they are transported to a different world that is full of adventure.
This delightful read captures the imagination and keeps you turning the pages.

This is the story about a young girl, second-generation Irish, Francie Nolan, growing up around 1912 in a tenement. The mother, Katie, works cleaning apartments to bring home enough money for food and very little else. The father, Frankie, is a singing waiter, but when he finds work, he ends up drinking most of his wages. He's kind to Francie, but he's an unreliable alcoholic. Her brother, Neely, is Katie's favorite, and is a typical brother to Francie. He's mostly off trying to be tough with the other neighborhood boys. Francie spends her time reading,with her goal to read through all the authors in her neighborhood library, and goes alphabetically.

[The Big Burn] by [Jeanette Ingold] is an excellently written historical fiction that deals with an interesting topic. The plot is focused around three young people: Elizabeth, a homesteader with her sister, Jarret, a fire fighter, and Seth, and African American soldier. The even that brings them all together is the forest fires of 1910 in Idaho and Montana know as the Big Burn.
[Ingold] tells a fast moving tale through the various perspectives of those involved. The fact that she chose very different characters but remained historically accurate says a lot about the skill of the author. This book is a welcome addition to any classroom library, especially for those reluctant readers.

I was so looking forward to this book, and almost bought it. But, the library had it, so I just rented it. THANK GOD I did.
I really, really, REALLY disliked this book until the last 90 pages or so. It was so slow moving, and this book isn't even that long! The chapters jump between multiple characters, all of whom are claiming this miraculous child that was seemingly dead. I thought it was fairly clear from the beginning that the reason the focus was on these families was because all of the events were related.
I loved Bellman and Black, hated the Thirteenth Tale, and mostly disliked this book. I'm wary to read another Setterfield book now.

What a disappointment. I'm so bummed out that the first novel in the new canon about Padme was so boring.
Firstly, they should have given Padme to Claudia Gray, who has proven she gets the Star Wars Universe; her characterization of Leia has been amazing. Secondly, this would have worked as a political novel, had it been written for adults, rather than for the Young Adult crowd. I didn't have a problem with Johnston's Ahsoka novel, because it was Ahsoka. This is Padme for Christ's sake. I'm just so fricken disappointed because I've been waiting for more about Padme for 20 flipping years. I'm so glad I borrowed this from the library.

FINALLY, my library had a digital copy of the 3rd volume of Kelly Sue DeConnick's 2nd Captain Marvel run (yeah, Captain Marvel's runs are confusing as hell). This run was right before Marvel Comics essentially blew up the universe for the battleverse.
The first issues involve Carol tracking down Chewie, her flerken, because she was stolen. they were generally entertaining. There was then a strange filler issue, which was meh, then Carol returned to Earth. A very strange collection overall, the first issues were the best. This volume also features my favorite Captain Marvel panels that I completely relate to...
Cough, Cough, had Larson actually read this run, she'd have known Carol doesn't wear makeup.

Great App and great books
I’ve been a Wattpad user for 7 years and have yet to delete the app. It’s a wonder option to read good stories for free and even write your own novel. I live is a small town with a small library (minimal selection) and no book store so this has been wonderful. Some may tell you Wattpad is only cliche Fanfiction stories but that is only one of the many genres. With the amount of amazing and original stories available, you’ll never run out of reading material.
