Fall Is Upon Us

I must admit that fall always makes me sad, because my favorite season is summer and when fall comes, I know that summer has ended and I have to wait another year for it to come. Now that I have Miya and my own house I have decided that fall isn't so bad after all. It means that it is time for us to harvest our garden, rake the leaves and make up our favorite fall treats. One of our favorite weekend activities lately is to drive up Millcreek Canyon and have a bbq and roast marshmellows or make banana boats. I can't wait to take Miya trick-or-treating this year and carve pumpkins.

Gail Carson Levine

I found another author of fantasy books that I just love. Gail Carson Levine wrote one of my all time favorite books, Ella Enchanted. Since, I have been really in to fantasy lately I decided to check out some of the other books she has written. I read Fairest a few days ago and loved it! Now I am reading Ever. I like it so far. I will let you know what I think when I am done reading it. Thanks to all my book club girls that had great recommendations to my new favorite genre. I will have to make a trip to the library next week.

I ended up really liking Ever as well.

Friend to Fantasy

Lately I have found myself addicted to fantasy books galore! I am such a sucker for a happy ending! My latest favorites have been books by Shannon Hale. She is a local Utah author and all of her books are just so fun to read. Today I finished reading River Secrets. It was really entertaining with a little mystery and romance tied into the plot. My favorite book written by Shannon Hale has been The Goose Girl. It was such a cute story. Other books that I have read by her are: Princess Academy, Book of a Thousand Days, Enna Burning, River Secrets and Austenland. I recommend them all to anyone who is looking for a nice feel good book.
