I absolutely adored the first two books in this series, A Curious Beginning and A Perilous Undertaking, and to get my hands on this one early was wonderful. Continue reading →

Renee began Throwback Thursday at Its Book Talk as a way to share some of her old favorites as well as sharing books that she wants to read that were published over a year ago. Books that were published over a year ago are almost always easier to find at libraries or at a discounted sale price. As I have been sifting through my TBR list and purging those books that no longer hold my interest, I came across several from years past that I’d love to share with you! Continue reading →

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. Each week they provide a topic and you are free to use that topic and/or variations of that topic to make your top ten list. You don’t have to do all ten. Instead you can do three, five, fifteen, whatever you want. A full list of the weekly themes can be found here.

This week’s theme is a Halloween Freebie! Happy Halloween! Let your creativity run wild with a themed post to celebrate! I must admit, I have never been terribly into Halloween. Sure, as a kid it was fun, but as an adult I must admit it was just fun to hang up a few decorations and light a few autumn themed candle. Now that I have a kiddo to take trick or treating it has certainly taken on a different light. In fact, I just finished sewing her costume. Now, lets see where this Halloween theme takes us, shall we?
