Persephone – Eva Pohler

At Home, Reading / Megan

Not a bad free book. This is the set up to a series set in more modern days, but leaning on Greek mythology for the characters. The author does take certain liberties with the parentage of her characters, but she talks about why at the end of this book, and I like where she’s going […]

Across the Green Grass Fields – Seanan McGuire

At Home, Reading / Megan

This is a Wayward Children book, but stands apart from them – none of the action takes place at Eleanor West’s school. Regan loves horses. She’s got a great relationship with her parents, but a rather shocking secret challenges her relationships with the girls she thought were her friends. (The set up for that is
