Excerpt from Wild, Wild Rake by Janna MacGregor Avalon read the first line in the letter from her son’s guardian, Gavin Farris, the Earl of Larkton.

Rating:3/5 Three Apples Fell from the Sky follows an Armenian woman named Anatolia through various parts of her life, and the life of the town.

Rating: 4/5 I was pleasantly surprised by Just Listen, as it was my first Sarah Dessen book. I religiously avoided reading anything by Dessen when I was in middle/high school, as she seemed far too “girly” for me, and I was on a personal quest to be viewed as anything but girly (even though I’ve

What is your favorite scene in Never Trust a Pirate? I truly do love the whole book but I think everything that happens after they get on the ship is especially fun.

CHAPTER ONE London Harbor, July 1817 Only three steps. Only three steps separated him from the map. It was there, laying on the rickety wooden table in the captain’s stateroom aboard a ship aptly named Le Secret Francais. The only sound in the cramped space was his own breathing. Sweat beaded on his brow. He’d come this far….

1. What inspired the novel plot? Plots are strange things for me…I can rarely pinpoint anything in particular that triggers an idea. They usually pop into my head when I doing something else entirely like making dinner of driving the kids around. 2. What’s your favorite scene? Why? I love the scene where Sutton gets…

Chapter Two Sutton stared at the lace concoction. From La Perla’s fall collection. Fine Italian lace. Ridiculously expensive for something so small.

She’d ordered them through Abigail’s…
