This weekend I took my kids to see The 5th Wave. I always HATE when film makers (maybe screenwriters?) include cussing in a tv show or movie that has young people as actors and will have even more teens and kids going to see the film. That was my one pet peeve. Yes, some th...

Sword and Verse #1 By: Kathy MacMillan Published: January 19, 2016 by HarperTeen 384 pages Source: Edelweiss ARC from publisher ( Goodreads / Amazon ) Summary: Raisa was only a child when she was kidnapped and enslaved in Qilara. Forced to serve in the palace of the king, she’s endured hunger, abuse, and the harrowing fear of discovery: everyone knows she is Arnath, but not that Raisa is a Learned One, a part of an Arnath group educated in higher order symbols. In Qilara, this language is so fiercely protected that only the King, the Prince, and Tutors are allowed to know it. So when the current Tutor-in-training is executed for sharing the guarded language with slaves, and Raisa is chosen to replace her, Raisa knows that—although she may have a privileged position among slaves—any slip-up could mean death. That would be challenging enough, but training alongside Prince Mati could be her real undoing. And when a romance blossoms between them, she’s suddenly fille...

Right now, I'm not stressing over blogging or reading for that matter. I'm taking a much more relaxed approach than I have since I began my blog several years ago. I've not gone by a super strict posting schedule most of the time because quite frankly I couldn't ever keep up with the demand of a reading schedule to post a certain number of reviews a week or month. Such is life with kids. My reading goal last year originally star...
