I just finished The Summer Queen by EC. Loved it!! I find after I finish an amazing book I'm more picky about what to read next so as not to be disappointed or taken down from my literary high!
Books to the ceiling,
Books to the sky,
My pile of books is a mile high.
How I love them! How I need them!
I'll have a long beard by the time I read them. --Arnold Lobel
