"They were identical in many respects, yet opposites all the same. After many encounters facing one another on the battefield and off, they knew each other better than siblings, more intimately than lovers; they were two halves destined to become whole.”

Fantasy Flashback: THE MAGICIAN'S NEPHEW, by C.S. Lewis
There are many fantasy books that have shaped who I am as a writer, but THE MAGICIAN’S NEPHEW by C.S. Lewis (the first book in the Chronicles of Narnia series) holds a special place in my heart. In fourth grade, my teacher would read a chapter a day to us from the series, starting with the…

YES. Really enjoyed TAKEN, and am looking forward to FROZEN.
But! But!
HOUSE OF IVY AND SORROW, guys. It is one of my favorite books. My favorite Natalie has ever written. It has magic that always comes at a cost, and incredibly strong relationships between women—mothers and daughters, grandmothers and granddaughters, friends who become sisters.

Anyway. I’m sleep-deprived and slap-happy and I love this book SO. FREAKING. MUCH. I hope you do, too!
YES TO ALL. HOUSE OF IVY is glorious and sweet and creepy and and and SO MANY THINGS.

Today is the FINAL DAY you can get TRANSPARENT for $1.99! So here I am pulling out an old piece of art I did for the book’s release almost a year ago—Fiona on her first day of “normal” school.
If you like sucky superpowers and your sci-fi more on the YA contemporary side, you might want to try it out now.
