"My kids are grown and gone, but I've made a pact with myself that this year I'm going to read more YA books. So glad I chose Dowding's dystopian novel! It is simply terrific and I am sure it will become a classic!"

I love The Giver, I still think it's one of the best examples of a middle-grade dystopia out there. So when my friend (and fellow writer) offered me her copies of the rest of the series, I was delighted! The Giver Quartet? Who knew! SO, I've read them ...more |

Went into this not realizing I should have read Fangirl first, so at first I was a bit weirded out by the exact replica of Hogwarts and the Harry Potter story, but set in a different magical school called Watford. Basically this story is what would ha ...more |

My sister-in-law left this book at my place over the holidays, so I thought I'd read it before returning it to her. I was intrigued by the cover and the idea of the story: an owl as a best friend. You know, I love a good animal-best-friend story like ...more |

“I have spent a good many years since―too many, I think―being ashamed about what I write. I think I was forty before I realized that almost every writer of fiction or poetry who has ever published a line has been accused by someone of wasting his or her God-given talent. If you write (or paint or dance or sculpt or sing, I suppose), someone will try to make you feel lousy about it, that's all.”

Hi Philippa,Hope all is well in your world. I haven't fallen off the face of the earth; just left the social network. (It's been a year and a half already.) It wasn't a a healthy fit for me. New book coming out next spring. In the meantime, I'm honing my painting skills. Who knows? Perhaps I can become an illustrator. To catch up on my activity or to get in touch, please visit me at my website: www.kristinbutcher.com
