I’m currently reading Garden Spells. It is set in North Carolina with a magical garden. Claire makes the most wonderful sounding dishes. It is making me hungry. I may bake something later today using Claire’s creations for inspiration.

I’m being taken deep into a little girl’s mind in ‘My Name is Mina’. God, this character is so free-spirited and smart. I loved her in Skellig but her voice is so clear in this book, I love her even more!
I’m only a few pages in though 🙂

I’m reading The Submission by Amy Waldman, so I’m being transported back to post 9/11 New York City. Not the most uplifting of settings, but it’s a good story with a powerful message. Good luck with your read-a-thoning, everyone!

Percy was on a three-day vacation with his mom in Montauk, after having been expelled from his sixth boarding school, but things have just taken a truly bizarre turn and I suspect we are about to slip into some other world entirely, where mythological figures abound! This is my first Rick Riordan novel, and now I understand why everyone talks about how much fun they are!
Happy read-a-thoning to all!
