Book: Her Own Devices by Shelley Adina
Age-range: 10 and up
This is the much-anticipated sequel to Lady of Devices, my review of which you can read here. Ms. Adina's books are still the only steampunk novels I have read, not because I haven't loved and adored hers (I absolutely have), but because I have no idea who else to read!
This book is the continuation of Lady Claire's life in the London underworld as the Lady of Devices. In this book, however, she also has to divide her time being her "true" self. Though I don't always understand the sciency stuff in the book, I still love and adore Shelley's writing. This book is even better than the last one, and, as the first, it is only available as an e-book. I hope you'll find them and read them; they're wonderful!
Happy reading!

January Book #4
Book: A Posse of Princesses by Sherwood Smith
Age-range: 10 and up
SO GOOD! That's what I have to say about this book. It's cute and clever and easy to read and a fun romp through the ins and outs of royalty in this mythical world. I love the way she ends it, although I was not always sure about the outcome.
I have no idea why I haven't read Ms. Smith's books before. What was I thinking? Now I must track them all down and devour them immediately.
Happy reading!

January Book #2
Book: Destined by Jessie Harrell
Age-range: 13 and up
I've always liked the story of Cupid and Psyhche. It reads more like a fairy tale than a Greek myth. I have never before heard of a novel-length version of the story, however, so I was very excited when I saw this on my Kindle Fire recommended reading list. Although I found Psyche a little vapid and whiny, I still liked this book. A quick, fun read.
Happy reading!
