July Book #4
Book: Poison Study by Maria V. Snyder
Age-range: 16 and up
This is a book that has been on my to-read list for years. Literally. From the first time I met Maria (as an instructor at Seton Hill University) I wanted to read her books. She was funny and brilliant and I knew her writing would be much the same. I've previously only read her YA books, this was her first adult novel I've read.
I really liked it. I'm excited to read the rest of the books in the series. There were some adult moments that make it a hard book for me to recommend across the board, but I think most of the people who read this blog would enjoy it.
Happy reading!

July Book #3
Book: The Shifter: The Healing Wars Book 1 by Janice Hardy
Age-range: 13 and up
I fell in love with the beginning of this book because it was so well-written. It was actually used as an example of a tension-filled beginning for a story.
The entire book was good, but I wouldn't say it's great. It had a lot of flaws that are pretty common in a debut novel. I will continue to read the series though, because the characters are interesting enough that I want to see what happens to them.
Happy reading!

July Book #2
Book: The Hero's Guide to Saving Your Kingdom by Christopher Healy
Age-range: 8 and up
This was a great book! I loved learning about all the Princes Charming from the different fairy tales. There were times when the narration was a bit distracting, but I think this is a book that all of my nieces and nephews would love. In fact, I think it would be an awesome book to read aloud, but it might be a little long for that.

July Book #1
Book: Folk and Fairy Tales: A Handbook by D.L. Ashliman
Age-range: 16 and up
This is a really awesome reference book. I want to buy one for my own library, for sure. If you're at all interested in fairy/folk tales I would recommend this book. It's refreshing to find a fairy tale scholar who doesn't villify Disney.
Happy reading!
