This has been a long week, that also went by too quickly.
I need to finish some books this weekend. Hopefully, I can because I have a lot of books that I need to get through.
Synopsis:
Eleanor West's Home for Wayward Children
No Solicitations
No Visitors
No Quests
Children have always disappeared under the right conditions; slipping through the shadows under a bed or at the back of a wardrobe, tumbling down rabbit holes and into old wells, and emerging somewhere... else.
But magical lands have little need for used-up miracle children.
Nancy tumbled once, but now she's back. The things she's experienced... they change a person. The children under Miss West's care understand all too well. And each of them is seeking a way back to their own fantasy world.
But Nancy's arrival marks a change at the Home. There's a darkness just around each corner, and when tragedy strikes, it's up to Nancy and her new-found schoolmates to get to the heart of things.
No matter the cost.

Nancy frowned. "They talked to me."

Q: Which books/book series make you crave chocolate?
A: I can always eat chocolate, I don't need a book to inspire me. Gimme that bar of dark chocolate.

Dark chocolate does reign supreme, even if I don't really get chocolate cravings. I have been seeing this series around, especially now that the second one (I think?) is coming out. The quotes have me intrigued so I guess this Friday is one for picking up new series! I hope you enjoy it and that you have a lovely weekend :)

P.S. I feel ya on weeks being both tough and over before you know it!
Great cover and intriguing excerpts. Thanks for sharing, and here's mine: “BRAVE GIRL, QUIET GIRL”
ReplyDeleteI'm curious for more! Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteInteresting book. I will be looking this one up. Hop on over to my blog for my response
ReplyDeleteI never crave chocolate (I'm allergic) but I find that any book that involves food tends to make me a little hungry... I did spotlight a few foodie m/m romance reads with some chocolate plots over on my blog though
