Book #3: Queen Of Dragons (Drakon #3) by Shana Abe

Queen of Dragons by Shana AbeThis is the third book I have read in the Drakon series by Shana Abe. I began reading this series because I picked up The Sweetest Dark not knowing that it was a sequel series to the Drakon series. I absolutely loved The Sweetest Dark trilogy. It had everything I look for in a book - the rainy English countryside, a castle-like boarding school, an orphan unsure of her past, etc... The Drakon series however leaves something to be desired as it weaves the same tale over and over again in each story. Every book I have read so far as focused on two Alpha-type drakon characters and their romantic journey. Now I have nothing against a good romance story, but in these type of books I have come to expect a strong plot line to go along with it to hold my attention.

Overall Rating: ★★★

Although this particular installment in this series finally begins to set-up a major storyline, I feel like it has taken forever to get to this point. I do plan on finishing the series because I would like to see what happens between the two dragon clans and the Others. A solid three-star read that I don't love, don't hate, but is interesting enough that I want to see it through to the end.

Book #102: Tik-Tok of Oz (Wizard of Oz #8) by Frank Baum

Image
This is the eighth book in the  Wizard of Oz  canon. It features a lot of characters introduced in previous novels: Tik-Tok  - a copper machine who was first introduced in  Ozma of Oz , actually one of my favorite characters in the series The Shaggy Man  - a wandering mortal man from the USA, first introduced in  The Road to Oz , who is the owner of The Love Magnet (yeah, I find this talisman's name and use a bit creepy too) Polychrome  - daughter of the rainbow who was first introduced in  The Road to Oz The Nome King (Ruggedo)  - a reoccurring villain first introduced in  Ozma of Oz  and who is also featured in  The Emerald City of Oz I didn't like this book as much as I have enjoyed the others in this series. It felt more like a wrapping up of loose ends novel more than anything else. Since most of the main characters where ones I didn't care that much about or were new (and not particularly memorable) I jus...

Book #101: Best Friends (Real Friends #2) by Shannon Hale

Image
In this sequel to Real Friends , Shannon Hale explores the trials of adolescence and growing up.  Concentrating on her experiences as a sixth grader, she explores the topics of popularity, bullying, anxiety, and finding your true self. This book is geared towards late elementary/ early middle school children.  The storyline follows a young Shannon during her sixth grade year.  She is finally part of the popular group of kids and feels like her life is finally coming together.  Except for the fact that she feels like she never knows what is cool and what is not, how she should interact with boys, what adults expect of her and that she seems to always feel a little left out from the group. Things that I loved about this book: 1. How Shannon took her experiences with her friends and incorporated them into her own fantasy story that she was writing.  This is based from a real story that the writer wrote in sixth grade.  The illustrations fo...

Book #2: Bloom by Kevin Panetta

I would love to have something like that... To be on a team with someone... and to be better together than you ever could be alone. - Hector  This graphic novel was just plain adorable. A quick feel-good read that has all the elements I love to give you warm feelings by the end of the story. Here is a quick run down of the book. Things that I loved: 1. Hector and his enthusiasm for baking. He had me looking up Greek and Samoan pastry recipes and pinning them to my Pinterest baking boards fasted than a microwave mug cake! 2. The beach-side family bakery. Reminded me of all those summers spent in Bethany Beach with my family. 3. Jake and Hanna - Ari's adorable friends! They were so full of life - passionate about the things they loved and unapologetic for their enthusiasm. I just loved them! Things I found annoying in this book: 1. Ari was a little immature during the book. Focused mainly on himself, his phone and his issues. It made him seem very egocentric. I understand he i...
