| I'm not a Meyer super-fan, but I enjoyed this book a great deal. I think the premise was pretty interesting and not as kitschy as I thought it would be. I think the characters were all a little too one-dimensional but the story was pretty interesting...more | |

| This was interesting. Obviously all the famous tales are in there and then there are a bunch of stories that are lesser known because, well, they really aren't great stories. Pretty interesting stuff though. I kind of wish I had read this with a book...more | |

| This was a great way to get into the nitty-gritty of the English language. I read it straight through--which is not recommended--but it was still good. A lot of it made me laugh out loud. Some of it is dated. There are just so many references to Geor...more | |

Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking
by Susan Cain (Goodreads Author)

| At first I really didn't like this book because I was desperately jealous of the author for writing it. Once I got over my jealousy I really appreciated it. Not every story was four stars for me, but the writing was thoughtful and precise and had jus...more | |

| I read this just so I could know the origin of the phrase. It was short and wasn't bad, but I don't necessarily recommend it. | |

| This was another fun summer read with my kiddos. The mystery and history elements were fun and I liked the dynamic between the siblings. I've never lived in New York so I think a lot of the elements in the story weren't as vivid for me. Still good th...more | |

A Tale of Two Castles (A Tale of Two Castles, 1#)
by Gail Carson Levine (Goodreads Author)
read in June, 2012

| Gail Carson Levine visited our local library and my girls and I went to hear her speak. She was very fun. We bought _Two Castles_ and it was a good read. It's not my favorite of hers (I LOVE _Fairest_ and I really like the Tinker Bell series), but de...more | |

| This was fun. I read it with my daughter and it was a cute story with a few surprises (for my daughter; not so much for me). I would definitely recommend this for elementary aged readers. | |
