I shall definitely try to find the time to pick it up soon after reading how much you enjoyed it. I love powerful novels. Seraphina sounds exactly like the kind of novel that would transport me somewhere else - just what I need as I face looming deadlines. :)GatheringBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04477710897574769648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2752544695499885154.post-14224255362470306592014-06-25T20:47:33.532-04:002014-06-25T20:47:33.532-04:00These books look great, especially Serafina and Li...These books look great, especially Serafina and Little Bee.

That one has been sitting on my shelf for quite some time. I am glad to know that even though it is hard to read, it will be worth it.

I need to read Seraphina this year. The author is local and we have a mutual friend so we've met at kid birthdays and such.

Have you read it yet? The audio is excellent, and you will be hooked on the whole series! If your library has Cornelia Funke, I enjoyed The Ghost Knight on audio. I believe it won an Odyssey. I also listened to The Red Pyramid by Rick Riordan and liked it a lot.

I didn't love it the first time, but your review made me feel like I COULD love it! Thanks for sharing these books. I hope you enjoy All Our Yesterdays. I thought it was a good one. :)Ricki Ginsberg at Unleashing Readershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06086548238873957327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2752544695499885154.post-24746857563340103992014-06-23T23:09:26.899-04:002014-06-23T23:09:26.899-04:00Oh, sweet Frankie Sky!

I have been recommending The Fault in our Stars the same way. "Oh, you are going to love when you cry with this book." I still can't get anyone to go see it with me.<br />Do you have a recommendation for a fantasy book to listen to? I do not read fantasy. I am committed this summer to reading middle grade. I am about to finish listening to The Graveyard Book. Our library has Rick Riordan and Cornelia Funke and others. I must do at least one.

I almost didn't read this one because I thought it was going to be too much of a fluffy summer read, but I was oh so wrong. I absolutely adore Frankie Sky.
