Cute New Series

Hey Gals,

Picked up this book:

on a whim from the library. Didn't know until after I read it through that it is a series, with the 4th book coming out this December. Anyway, it is totally "G" rated, squeaky clean (not even kissing... although lots of wanting to be kissed). There are also geeky Star Wars references as early as the first chapter :). A couple parts moved a little slow, and some of the story is predictable, but overall a nice light and fun summer read.

Dragon Slippers by Jessica Day George

Here is good book that Jenny Croft recommended it and I thought it was great. Jessica Day George is a Mormon author and her style in this book is quite similar to Patricia Wrede's Enchanted Forest series (Dealing with Dragons, etc). You get a spunky, fun heroine and dragons that collect unusual things.

Book club

So, I've finally decided what to do for Book Club! How 'bout, when we've all finished reading the host, we can get together and talk about it at my place!
Sound good?

A New Robin McKinley Novel!

Here is a photo of the cover of RM's new novel, Chalice which comes out in September.*  If you follow the link on the right to her blog, you can see pictures of the title page, and also read the first page of the book (you just click on the photo and it enlarges). 

Robin McKinley has been one of my favorite authors to date, and I am excited to get something new to read from her!
