The Web - Megan Chance

I really enjoyed the first book.

The way the story and folklore came together

was done in a great way.

So I was really excited to get my hands on

the second one.

The Web picks up where 

The Shadows

left us.

Grace has chosen to be with Patrick

and while she still doubts that she is

the veleda,

she agrees to support the Brotherhood

and the Formori.

And yet,

Grace still dreams of Derry.

Derry, 

with the help of Grace's brother,

convinces her to trust him

and the Fianna.

The Web took more time to get into.

While in The Shadows,

she seemed confident and able,

here she lacked strength.

It took a while for Grace 

to start believing in herself

and she wasn't just unsure,

she was very weak.

Having said that,

it does pick up.

and when Grace starts to believe in her power,

it get interesting.

Now to wait for the final

book!

Birthday Tradition

Earlier this school year,

Ethan was assigned some homework

which asked him to learn about

some family traditions.

At the time,

it was a little hard to think of one.

But then this weekend came...

Yesterday was Scott's birthday.

Happy birthday Scott!

Since Ethan was 8 months old,

we've had a birthday tradition.

Every year,

they get matching t-shirts.

Last year,

they got Sochi shirts,

this year,

we went with the Superhero theme.

Happy birthday Batman!!!

Horns - Joe Hill

Sometime ago,

I saw the movie poster for 

Horns

and thought I needed to read this book.

I'm so glad I did.

Horns hooks you in

from the very beginning.

The book begins with

Ignatius Perrish,

who wakes up, after a drunken

disorderly night,

with a massive hangover

and horns.

He soon learns that his horns hold

a "power".

People tell him their deepest,

darkest secrets.

They share the "evil" side of themselves.

We also learn

that this last year has been difficult for dear Ig.

His girlfriend was brutally raped and murdered,

and everyone

and I mean everyone,

believes he's guilty.

Ig sets off to learn who was really responsible

and while embracing the devil inside,

seeks revenge.

I think I may have just discovered

a new favorite author!
