2015 Outlook

So, we are now nearly a month into the new year and I've been looking at books. LOTS of books, here are the ones I'm most looking forward to this year! Descriptions from Good Reads and links go right to the Good Reads pages so you can easily add them to your "To Read" list.

Book Review: Sapphire Blue

by Kerstin Gier

Tweet Synopsis: Oh Gwen, Oh Gideon, oh dear! #twistsandturns fill the pages #isitlove #isitatrick 

Why Did I Pick It Up: Book #2 in the Ruby Red Trilogy. After reading Ruby Red I had to read Sapphire Blue.  

Book Review: The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making

Catherynne M. Valente

Tweet Synopsis: One part Alice, one part Peter, three parts Grimm, two parts Lang, dash of modern, sprinkle of big words all adds up to this book #vocablesson #modernfairytale

Book Review: Ruby Red

by Kerstin Gier

Tweet Synopsis: Gwen wasn't supposed to inherit the time traveling gene, but it makes for a great story #gideonisdreamy #havetoreadthenextone

Book Review: The Night Circus

Let me just begin by saying, I don't typically love books like this. I like books with great characters and quick moving plots. This book has great characters, intricately woven scenes, all of your senses are thrilled in this story ... but the plot moves slow. This isn't a reason to dislike the book, for every person who doesn't like the beautiful imagery and sluggish plot, there are four more who loved it and want more. However, if you pick this book up and read it just because I suggested it and you like other books I read, you might be disappointed. That doesn't mean you shouldn't read it - just be forewarned.

Tweet Synopsis: The circus doesn't open until dusk - but this magical place is just a setting for a competition that no one really knows about #magical #enchanting

Book Review: Flutter

by Gina Linko

Tweet Synopsis: Emery is having seizures but she might be traveling into the future then there is a boy, and her father #messy
