I'm excited for it! Ancient Egypt is fascinating! Hoping to get to it by the end of February.

Bonnie | 171 comments I'm only about 80 pages into it but I like it so far. I just feel like we miss more than one chunk of Lily's story somewhere. But maybe it's just me. The author gives us enough information that we get the gist of it for the most part so it's not really a big deal but I'm just curious why the author left so much of her story out. I had felt that way during book 2 as well, just didn't think too much of it then since Emily was the main character. But again, enjoying the book regardless:-)

Beth, Into the Whirlwind is my 2nd favorite by Camden (the first being Against the Tide). I think the title accurately describes the feel of the book. It was incredible!

Aw, I read some from that fairy tale series - Cameron Dokey was by far my favorite author of the ones I read - I really enjoyed Beauty Sleep and [book:Golden|394724]. I think I read a couple more by her, but those were my favorite of the ones I read.
