    1. She wrote the Descendants series and Eleanor and I read them together; we really loved them.

    1. You are so lucky it is your birthday month, so I can't really be mad, lol. I hope you like How to Survive History, it's a fun little read with a surprising amount of data/info to back up each chapter.

      The Iron Cage
      Time's Anvil
      Street Fighting Years
      We Are What We Read
      Joan of Arc

      Of course, our library has NONE.

    1. Most of them have been great so far! My next couple hauls are going to be a bit bigger, with lots of holds coming in at the library.

    1. I really like it so far, but I recently finished another by the author that I did not care for at all. I'm not quite halfway through Hitchhikers and I have no idea where it will go, it's lots of chaos right now. But I'm engaged, so hopefully it stays engaging!
