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...

. @CassieClare Shares Snippet from 'The Land I Lost', Ghosts of the Shadow Market #7 #Shadowhunters #GoTSM

To celebrate today's release of The Land I Lost , the 7th installment in the Ghosts of the Shadow Market , Cassie shared a snippet from the book on her Instagram account. Here's what she shared: A message from Jem and Tessa brings Alec to Buenos Aires, where he meets an abandoned Shadowhunter boy in a sinister Shadow Market . . . Sarah and I hope you like it! "I said to stay down there with Jem,” Alec to ld Rafael. Rafael gave him a look that was at once uncomprehending and insulting, and then his big boots slipped on the ridged terracotta tiles. Jem caught him before he hit the tile, and set him upright. If Rafael kept walking like this, he was going to skin his knees. “You have to walk differently on roofs,” Alec told him. He took Rafael’s hands in his, showing him how. “Like this, because they slope. Do it like me.” We can hardly wait to read this story. Have you downloaded your e-book of it yet or do you prefer to listen to the audiobook version?
