Eclipse – Stephenie Meyer

At Home, Reading / Megan

Read for the Vampire Reading Challenge So I managed to stay up about forty-five minutes late on a work night so I could finish Eclipse. I suppose I’m smitten. I’ve been trying to put my finger on why exactly I enjoy this series as much as I have been, and it’s been tough. As a […]

New Moon – Stephenie Meyer

At Home, Reading / Megan

Ok, I have to admit it. Stephenie Meyer spins a good tale. I can’t say I’m teenage girl-level obsessed with this series, but despite the fact that I felt like slapping a little sense into Bella a couple of times in the beginning of this book, I occasionally had a hard time putting it down.

YA Reading Challenge 2009

3 Comments / At Home, Reading / Megan

I’m hopelessly addicted to my reading challenges (and my sidebar’s already looking a little empty), so I figured I might as well cave and sign up for at least one reading challenge I know I’m going to do next year. I really enjoyed the 2008 version of the YA reading challenge, so I’m back again

Silver on the Tree – Susan Cooper

2 Comments / At Home, Reading / Megan

Silver on the Tree is the final book of the Dark is Rising Sequence. It falls third in my ranking list. In the book, Will, Bran, the Drew children, John Rowland and Merriman all come together in the final battle against the Dark. I’m of two minds on this book. On the one hand, I

The Grey King – Susan Cooper

At Home, Reading / Megan

The Grey King is the first book I actually read of the Dark is Rising sequence, despite the fact that it’s actually the fourth book of the series. Thinking back about it, I actually read a far number of series in weird order when I was that age, and unable to buy books to supplement

Greenwitch – Susan Cooper

At Home, Reading / Megan

Greenwitch is the third book of the Dark is Rising Sequence. I have to admit right here that the books involving the Drew children are not my favorite books in the series (you’ll notice I’m not even rereading Over Sea, Under Stone this go around). This is partially because I read The Grey King the

Young Adult Reading Challenge 2008

My Young Adult Challenge 2008 reading is done! I ended up reading the following: For the most part, I enjoyed everyone of these. Even the ones I didn’t like as much as the others weren’t so bad that I wasn’t able to finish them. Several of these were the beginnings of series that I’m now

The Dark is Rising – Susan Cooper

At Home, Reading / Megan

Read for the YA 2008 Reading Challenge. The fairy tale and folklore group I lurk on at Ravelry is currently reading The Dark is Rising as a winter-themed read along, and I was suddenly seized by a fit of nostalgia and decided to read along too. The story is set during the Christmas season, and

And thus continues the story of Keladry of Mindelan as she works to become the first fully acknowledged Lady Knight of Tortall in centuries. More than anything, this book has made me want to go back and read the Alanna books, for parallels between the two, since at this point, no one knew Alanna was

Twilight – Stephenie Meyer

At Home, Reading / Megan

Read for the RIP III and YA 2008 Reading Challenges. I finally succumbed to all the hype and read Twilight. Per usual with this kind of book, I approached it with a great deal of trepidation, and was rather pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. I can’t say this is the best romance
