How Mirka Got Her Sword
How Mirka Got Her Sword by Barry Deutsch My rating: 3 of 5 stars How Mirka Got Her Sword is a good beginning to a series.

Poseidon’s Academy
Poseidon's Academy by Sarah A Vogler My rating: 2 of 5 stars This book reminded me of Rick Riordan books. True, the kids are not demigods, but they do have powers from the Greek gods.

The Dead Queens Club
The Dead Queens Club by Hannah Capin My rating: 3 of 5 stars After reading this, I feel like I need to catch up on the story of Henry VIII. I'm sure there were little parts in the book that didn't come across as well as they would have if I had been more knowledgeable. … Continue reading The Dead Queens Club
