    Ooh nice ones! I definitely liked Wicked best too from that series. I feel like by the time I read the third one I had totally forgotten the world.

    Thanks for visiting my TTT!

      I think the world building and polititcs were the most well thought out in Wicked. after that the books started to waffle.

    Nice list! Several years ago, I read the first two novels in the Miss Peregrine's series, and I was unfortunately reminded of my childhood fear of ghosts and the dark -- although I am an avid creepy movie watcher! Very good writing but not my cup of tea.

    But definitely need to finally pick up a V.E. Schwab book...each of her novels sound so good!

    Happy TTT,
    Nicole

    I haven’t thought about Wicked in ages, but it was a good read.

    Thanks for stopping by earlier.

    Great list! I haven't read the Black Stallion books in ages, but I also loved The Island Stallion when I read it. (It was probably my favorite of the series, too.) Thanks for stopping by my TTT earlier!

You'd have a swimming buddy for life, and someone to feed your enemies to...) Do you have any favorite animal characters?

The Sunday Post

   Happy Sunday! Welcome to my Sunday Post, a weekly blog news meme hosted by  caffeinatedbookreviewer . My blog is on the small side, so I decided I'll only be posting the first Sunday of each month and I hope you'll join me. The month of February has been eventful. I've had some wild weather in my neck of the woods: real feel listed as 11 degrees one day, switching to 60s and endless rain, and then to dry windstorms that brought trees down. I successfully managed not to freeze, drown, or fly. I became an aunt to a beautiful niece, who just narrowly escaped being a leap year baby, and I'm pretty excited about her arrival. My Kindle Touch was finally lost to the ravages of time but was replaced swiftly with a Kindle Paperwhite. I also reviewed the following stories: Lethal White by Robet Galbraith Training Strategies for Dressage Riders by Charles de Kunffy What Feasts at Night by T.Kingfisher (just released!) Troubled Blood by Robert Galbraith I originally planned to ...

Top Ten Books I Was Assigned to Read in School

Today's Top Ten Tuesday, hosted by ThatArtsyReaderGirl , is all about Books I Was Assigned to Read in School. I've been a lifelong avid reader, but I was always that student that once a story was assigned, I was unlikely to want to read it. Like accidental reverse psychology, I can count on one hand the number of books assigned that I actually liked... three of which made today's list. 1. Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck - I've read 2 Steinbeck novels, this one, and The Red Pony  and I hated them both. I don't get the fascination with him. 2. Animal Farm by George Orwell - This is about communist pigs, if you like that sort of thing which I didn't. 3. The Outsiders by SE Hinton - I know a lot of people absolutely love this book, I'm just not one of them. 4. The Yearling by Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings - I was too young to be reading a story this upsetting. 5. Where the Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls - This was also upsetting. 6. The Eye in the Door by Pat ...
