The Half-a-Moon Inn is a short, suspenseful story about a mute boy who’s home alone when a blizzard strikes. He goes off to find his mother, who’d gone to market to sell their wares, and stumbles into trouble. The Council of Mirrors is the final book in The Sisters Grimm series, and I like how Buckley wrapped up his story. And then there’s The Shadowhand Covenant, the second book in the Vengekeep Prophecies trilogy, featuring my favorite family of thieves.

NEW Illustrated Editions

The entire Galleries of Stone trilogy has been gently edited and re-uploaded, so if you have the books lurking on your e-reader, take a moment to refresh or re-download so you’re reading the newest version. Even snazzier is the introduction of new print editions with the full-color spot illustrations that have always been in the ebooks.

March BINGO
Reading Challenge. February whipped by in a blur of deadlines & edits, so I didn’t get nearly as much reading in as I would have liked. But I’m back at it for March. Let’s see if my current reads can work toward a BINGO!
