In [Once Upon A Road Trip] [Angela N. Blount] tells of a coming of age/finding yourself journey for the internet age. Angeli at the age of 18 has no idea what she wants to do. She would like to be a writer or even a minister. Her desire to figure it all out takes her on a journey through the US stopping and staying with people she has met on the internet. Before you all get like all the adults and say she is crazy, understand she had a plan. Also it was families she was staying with not weirdos.

I loved most of the style and voice of this book. In fact I plan to recommended to a few former students who are going through similar angst. The ending was predictable though. Perhaps I should not have read the dedication first.

For me this was the standout book of the whole series. It could be that there was more action and mysticism involved (more akin to your common sword and sorcery) or just that it was more self-contained. Tynisa journeys to the Commonweal to ease her conscience and tell of Prince Salme's death and becomes embroiled in his family's battles with other families and royalty. Overall, the book doesn't add a great deal to the series' storyline, other than having the space to explore Tisamon's needs from beyond the grave and Che and the Empress' link and abilities developing.
An excellent piece of fantasy fiction and the best of the whole series.
This marks something of an end to the second phase of the series in my view, the journey from here on being focused on the end-game.

Disclaimer: I received an e-copy in exchange for an honest review.

Jumper has found himself away from his owner/best friend, Tony, but he's being taken care of by Emily, Tony's friend. The two kids get together with their families and go multiple places, and Jumper gets to go along for the ride. In the process, he meets Bouncy, Emily's red ball. The two seem to hit it off nicely, and they share their many adventures together.

This series is just so cute, and I think it would make a great children's show. I actually enjoy the stories, even though I'm 25 and have no children of my own, so I think it would be something parents and children could enjoy together. I look forward to being able to read this books to my children someday. =)

This book was great! I won it through the Goodreads pre-release program and received it in the mail just a few days prior to its release to the public. The story focuses on Jolene, her family and her friendship with Tami and her family. Jolene and Tami are helicopter pilots in the Guard, raising their families on the West Coast and neighbors. Jolene's husband is an attorney and they have two daughters. Jolene's husband does not approve of the war and thinks it's something that is happening "over there" and not something that affects us here in America. Until Jolene and Tami get deployed and he has to reconfigure his entire life to be a single parent while Jolene is gone. This is a wonderful story that is beautifully told and I highly recommend it.
