A long Long Sleep
the Lost Gate

I enjoy reading YA Literature and probably will be most excited when we get to take home and keep books for our school libraries after the final decisions have been made. I have a few stacks of books to read for fun that have been waiting since my birthday and Christmas because the WFC books got priority. I love getting new books for my kids and knowing which ones I can recommend to kids whose tastes are genre specific. new books are always so exciting!
