My Summer Reading is Humming Along

The Humming Room by Ellen Potter

June 2, 2014 by Mrs. Taffy Leave a Comment

Every summer I bring home a bag or box full of books from our school library. I spend the summer reading so that I have plenty of recommendations for the kids when school starts back in the fall. My first read for the summer was The Humming Room by Ellen Potter. The description caught my attention when I was doing book orders this past year, and I found a book trailer that caught the kids’ attention when I showed it at school. So, with my […]

From Never Sky to Ever Night

Through the Ever Night by Veronica Rossi

May 27, 2014 by Mrs. Taffy Leave a Comment

If you read my review of Under the Never Sky, you know that I said it took me a little while to get into the story. Well, that was not the case with this installment of the series. I finished Through the Ever Night in two days, and am extremely sad that my Nook and Kindle are not working, my local library doesn’t have the third book, and the closest book store is an hour away (and I don’t have two hours free this week […]

A World of Nevers Under a Never Sky

Under the Never Sky by Veronica Rossi

May 24, 2014 by Mrs. Taffy Leave a Comment

I kept seeing this title over and over, in Must-Read lists, in Read-Alike lists, in What-to-Read-Next lists, and in Best-Books-of-____ lists, so I finally broke down and bought it. I admit that I hesitated to purchase it because the reader reviews of the book were mixed.  Some called it the best thing since Hunger Games, while others said it was just a lackluster attempt to capitalize on the popularity of the dystopian novel. The final decision was made after a favorable recommendation from a coworker […]

Answering The Call Could Be a Bit Risky

The Call (The Magnificent 12 Book 1) by Michael Grant

April 1, 2014 by Mrs. Taffy Leave a Comment

Think back to when you were 12. What were you doing? Meeting mysterious old (and I mean really, really, REALLY old) men who can stop time? Getting home to find an exact copy (or at least a close approximation) of yourself in your bedroom who is completely made from mud and who says he is a Golem and has been sent to take your place? How about battling a beautiful princess (at least when she’s not turning into a monster) whose mother is the Mother […]

Find the Seventh

The Hunt for the Seventh by Christine Morton-Shaw

March 27, 2014 by Mrs. Taffy Leave a Comment

If the seven stones dishonored be, And slain the noble willow tree, Revenge will come each thirty year Til seven infant deaths bring fear. These lines are from the Prophecy of Blind Meg. So far six Minerva children have died, all on Solstice Eve, and now Jim, who has just moved onto the Minerva Estate with this father and sister, is hearing a ghostly voice telling him to “Find the Seventh”.  Jim begins getting ghostly visions of how each of the six previous children died, […]

Not Your Average Vampire Tale

Bunnicula: A Rabbit-Tale of Mystery by Deborah and James Howe

March 17, 2014 by Mrs. Taffy 3 Comments

Paranormal fiction is all the rage right now with beautiful teens falling for sexy vampires and such, but the vampire story I just finished is most definitely NOT your typical vampire story. In fact, there are no sexy vampires and not even any blood-sucking anywhere in this book. There is, however, a cute, fluffy little vampire bunny who will suck all the juice (and color) right out of your vegetables. The Editor’s Note at the beginning of the book tells you that the manuscript for […]
