W:Winnie-the-Pooh
It's a kids book but I loved it, even thought I dislike the cartoons about it, this book had such a sweet message that made me want to be a kid again.

Cheryl Schaeffer (livlaughluv21) | 108 comments I just completed M:The Museum of Extraordinary Things Alice Hoffman

The book kind of dragged meaning the main character didn't meet until 3/4th's into the book but overall it was a good read.

message 1190: by Cheryl (new)

Cheryl Schaeffer (livlaughluv21) | 108 comments I just read The Watchmaker of Filigree Street by Natasha Pulley.

It is her debut novel but it was really riveting. I read it because she was supposed to have a reading and Q & A but it was cancelled. I really wish it wasn't because it left me with questions.

Almost halfway there! I really enjoyed this book except they repeat the eagles chant like a dozen times and after a while I skipped over those parts.
