January is Walk Your Dog Month!

January is Walk Your Dog Month and what better way to kick start your New Years Resolutions by reading some great YA books that feature dogs?  If you are like me, you love dogs and want to spend more time with them because they just get you.  This awareness month is a great way to help dust off the January blues, read a few good books, maybe go out and adopt a new dog, or if you already have one start taking him/her out for more walks.  It's a fun way to get out of the house and your dog will love you for it! Here is a list of YA books that will have you begging for more! Last Chance by Norah McClintock In this charming YA novel by Norah McClintock, the main character Robyn is scared of dogs—like, really scared. But she agrees to spend her summer working at an animal shelter anyway. (It's a long story.) Robyn soon discovers that many juvenile offenders also volunteer at the shelter—including Nick D'Angelo, a boy from Robyn's past. A boy she hoped to never see again. Ni...

MARY'S MONSTER: Love, Madness, and How Mary Shelley Created Frankenstein by Lita Judge / Book Review #MarysMonster #Frankenstein

Written & Illustrated by : Lita Judge Published by : Roaring Brook  Released on : January 30th, 2018 Ages : 15 & up Purchase Links Add it to Goodreads Source : arc from the publisher in exchange for my honest review Rating : 5 stars A young adult biography of Frankenstein's profound young author, Mary Shelley, coinciding with the 200th anniversary of its publication, told through free verse and 300+ full-bleed illustrations. Mary Shelley first began penning Frankenstein as part of a dare to write a ghost story, but the seeds of that story were planted long before that night. Mary, just nineteen years old at the time, had been living on her own for three years and had already lost a baby days after birth. She was deeply in love with famed poet Percy Bysshe Shelley, a mad man who both enthralled and terrified her, and her relationship with him was rife with scandal and ridicule. But rather than let it crush her, Mary fueled her grief, pain, and passion into a book ...

New Shadowhunters/Fairytale Mashup Features WILL and JEM! #Shadowhunters

Happy Friday Shadowhunter fans! Have you seen the newest Shadowhunter / fairytale mashup from Cassandra Jean? This one features our favorite Shadowhunters, WILL and JEM! Here's what Cassie shared about it in her newsletter last week: Check out Cassandra Jean’s interpretation of Will and Jem as the Brothers Grimm! The art for the preorder booklet is all complete and off to the printer, but Cassandra Jean still has a few Shadowhunter/fairytale mashups up her sleeve! For some reason I found this oddly fitting for Will and Jem.

Check out the excerpt below:  Exclusive Excerpt from  Queen of Air and Darkness Reluctantly Cristina followed as they pushed swiftly through the crowd. The air was full of sweet, harsh smoke, mixing with the mist from the occasional pool of water. “Prince Kieran.” A faerie woman with hair like a dandelion clock drifted up to them. She wore a dress of white filaments, and her eyes were green as stems. “You come to us in disguise.” Mark’s hand had gone to his weapons belt, but Kieran made a quick settling gesture at him. “I can trust you to keep my secret, can I not?”  “If you tell me why an Unseelie Prince would come hidden to his own brother’s revel, perhaps,” said the woman, her green eyes keen. “I seek a friend,” Kieran said. The woman’s eyes darted over Cristina and then Mark. H...

THE WICKED ONES by Cassandra Clare and Robin Wasserman / Audio/Book Review #TheWickedOnes #shadowhunters #GOTSM

By: Cassandra Clare and Robin Wasserman Narrated by : Emily Bett Rickards Published by: Shadowmarket Enterprises / Simon and Schuster Audio Released on: September 11, 2018 Series: Ghosts of the Shadow Market #6 Purchase from: Audible | Amazon | B&N  |  Add it to Goodreads Rating: 5 Stars - LOVED IT! Celine Montclaire goes to the Shadow Market to escape. She would go anywhere in Paris, or the entire world, to escape the suffering she experiences at the hands of her family. She did not expect to meet Valentine Morgenstern there, or to have him promise her freedom and the heart of the man she secretly loves. On one condition, of course. At the Shadow Market, nothing is for free. I can't even begin to write a review of this because I just want to shout out loud -- ROBIN! CASSIE! What have you done?!?!? What they've done is given us the story of Jace's mother, Celine. It was such an unexpected story. I didn't think we'd ever get to hear about her. And what we find ...
