 I've been unable to find book two in the Guardian books. I don't like reading books out of order but when my library got book three in I snatched it up and read the first bit carefully in case there were any spoilers from book two. I found one or two but not enough to ruin everything which happened in book two, so I read the rest of three.
 Toothiana: Queen of the Tooth Fairy Armies.



 The best part of this book is that North was still in it. Still slightly reckless, he's now much wiser and compassionate, but he still has his wild moments (especially when it comes to Bunnymund.) I cannot WAIT for Bunnymund's book! I like him already. He's not used to humans and their emotions and prefers his chocolate to them. The arguments he gets into with Ombric and North are very funny. The best part is when the three get into an argument on how best to help Kathrine get to sleep.
 Toothiana is a fun character as well. Though wary of all grown ups, she adores children and joins up with the guardians so she can help save Kathrine. She's much like North. When things don't go the way she'd like, pull the swords out.
 I shan't say much about this book for the sake of spoilers, but it is just as good as North's book. And the best part? When I finished it I discovered that it book four Jack Frost will finally be showing up! HUZZAH!! That one cannot come out soon enough for me.
*** Now, about my new author picture. As I said, I had planned to sneak into my photographer's house, Mission Impossible style, to get it. Knowing how to do this is handy for one who plans to take over the world, and I was very successful in my mission. Sure, I nearly decapitated myself tripping over the cat, but we shall ignore that.

 But, I now have it!! (Thanks to William Knisley who took it for me, and emailed it to me. Remember, he has a site now for his photography, you can find him HERE!. He has a lot of amazing pictures up now, well worth checking out. Some rather amusing family portrait ones. He has a very strange, cool family.)
 Anyhow...moving on.

 So, as you might have noticed, when an author gets their first book published they will proudly take a picture of them holding said book. Being a new author, I couldn't turn down the irresistible urge to do the same. (There is just something about holding your own book!)

 You must pardon my hair of course. Pools have that effect on hair.

 And, here it is. Again, thanks to William for taking it for me.



 Don't forget, tomorrow I have a special spoiler for all of you.

 Allons-y!
