Welcome to my blog!

"The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go." -Dr. Seuss

Thanks for stopping by. I really hope that you take something away from this blog, even if it's just a book recommendation that leads you to a new series or new author that you will enjoy. I know that by keeping this blog, it's encouraging me to try new genres and to expand my horizons as far as reading new books, rereading old, and I'm even inspired to read the classics that I've missed. Because I'm a mom of four, I'll also be adding children's books into my reviews as I try to spend time reading with my kids on a regular basis. So why not review those as well and share them with you?

Books, for me, have always been great escapes. I remember being stranded on the island with the Swiss Family Robinson when I was 10 years old and it was a great place to be as I was having a rough childhood at the time. I flew away with Peter Pan and traveled with Meg through wrinkles in time, in Madeleine L'Engle's A Wrinkle in Time. Now that I mostly read 'grown up' books, I don't travel to islands but I do live in someone else's world (or mind) for a while and it's a great way to get away from it all even if for a short time every day.

Enjoy my blog and as always, happy reading!

The Power of Six by Pittacus Lore

http://www.amazon.com/The-Power-Lorien-Legacies-Book/dp/0061974579

There is so much action, it's fun, it's heartbreaking and it's believable for an alien story.  Children (Garde) stashed on Earth to grow up and learn their powers (legacies) and then find each other while being hunted by the Mogs who destroyed their home planet of Lorien.  They must then form together and fight...oh and they all have numbers...one through nine...only one, two, and three are dead, and the Mogs can only kill them in order.  IF they try to kill Nine before they kill Four...they themselves will die.
So our story started with I am Number Four...then number four hooked up at the end of that book with another...thus the next book...this one.
And I loved it!  Lots of action plus you are introduced to others in the later numbers that don't have their own books.
I do not like the movie I am Number Four so even if you thought the movie was horrid, doesn't mean you won't like the books.  They are apples and oranges!
I give this book FIVE stars!!!
Happy READING!!!!
