I always mean to write something on my blog, but when I made it I thought I would be having a lot more adventures. Don't get me wrong, I love school, but I can hardly regale you with tales and photographs of my eight a.m. British Literature class. I have found very few people who are as excited as I am to discuss nomenclature in Charles Dickens' masterpieces, so I won't even try now. I am also usually pretty sick of writing by the time my homework is done (I mean given up on, because it is never done). However, I can use this blog to let you know what fantastic books I have found while binge reading in my free (or borrowed) time.
P.S. I may just cheat and link you to goodreads if you want more background. I'm lazy that way. =)
The Key: True Reign Series, by Jennifer Anne Davis. Wow. I couldn't put this book down. Strong, lovable characters, and villains you hate so much you wish they were real so you could strangle them. Fantastic. No bad language or sketchy scenes even though it's an action/romance fantasy. Please read. I hope the sequel is already out! https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18631388-the-key?from_search=true
Green Rider by Kristen Britain. A high fantasy, Lord of the Rings sort of tale, but more fast paced. I re-read this one after several years, and still liked it. I couldn't put it down the first time I read it, as I recall. This one is better for older readers-not one I would suggest for Bethany. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/147843.Green_Rider?from_search=true
Something Strange and Deadly by Susan Dennard. Amazing and intense. Who would have thought that a post-civil-war zombie book could be so riveting. Elegant hoop skirts and necromancy? Don't mind if I do. A beautiful science/historical fiction romance. I know you've all spent hours pondering how world history would have changed if there were zombies, so this definitely is the book for you. I shocked myself, but I loved it. I'm dying as I wait for the final book of the trilogy, but it doesn't come out until next summer. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9859436-something-strange-and-deadly?from_search=true
Starcrossed by Elizabeth C. Bunce. I picked this one up because I loved another book by this author, A Curse as Dark as Gold. Obviously I wouldn't mention it if it weren't amazing, right? I may have stayed up until one…or maybe two in the morning to finish this. Naughty girl, I know. This one is probably pretty good for teen readers too, though I haven't tested it on anyone else but my mom.

Fairy Godmothers Inc. by Jennifer Wardell. This book was hilarious. It is a fantastic spoof on Cinderella from the godmother's point of view…business can get a little difficult when you are trying to juggle corrupt corporations and girls that have a fettish for outlandish animals instead of prince charmings. I think younger readers would love this one too. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17407183-fairy-godmothers-inc?from_search=true
Harvest of Rubies by Tessa Afshar. A beautiful, well written christian historical romance that takes place as the Israelites seek to return to Jerusalem. My mom loved it as well. I have loved this author's following books also. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13160611-harvest-of-rubies?from_search=true
It is way too late now, and I need to go to bed, but if this doesn't start you with a nicely rounded list for any reading mood…well, go eat some chocolate, take a nap, and take another look then.
