The False Prince is the Real Deal!

I love to read…love, love, love to read.  You can usually find me devouring children’s and young adult books at any point in the day.  One of my favorite parts about a good book is the ability to share it with others.  I just finished Jennifer Nielsen’s The False Prince, and I can’t wait for you to discover it, as well!  I’d recommend this for kids 8+ and you parents are going to want to get your hands on it, too!  In a nutshell, the story follows three young orphans who have been chosen by a shady character to impersonate a prince who has been killed.  HA!  Not all is as it seems!  Get your hands on this one, now!

Attention Moms

Although I talk mostly children’s books on our blog, I wanted to let you in on a little secret.  You deserve to enjoy a good book of your own!  I applaud all parents out there who are reading to their little ones, but sometimes we forget to tend to our own literary needs.  I often have people ask me about what books I’ve read lately, and often times they are surprised at my answer.  I love YA.  Young Adult.  Seriously!  You have to give this genre a try.  Some of the best books that I’ve read are written for a teen audience.  You can find anything from romance to coming-of-age, mystery to dystopian worlds, fantasy to humor.  I don’t tend to read the “teeny-bop” stuff, but if you haven’t checked out these books, you really should.

I have to cut this list short, as I’ll go on for pages and pages, but here are a few of my favorites:

The book thief / by Markus Zusak.

Shiver / Maggie Stiefvater.

An abundance of Katherines / John Green.

Between shades of gray / Ruta Sepetys.

The rock and the river / Kekla Magoon.

Revolution / Jennifer Donnelly.

Wintergirls / Laurie Halse Anderson.
