Forever or a Long, Long time by Caela Carter

Image result for forever or a long long time indieboundHello everyone! Since we had the day off from school on Friday, I had a lot of time for reading. I finished reading a book called Forever or a Long, Long Time by Caela Carter. I thought this book was absolutely amazing, and it was one that I HAD to share with you.

Forever or a Long, Long Time is a book about two siblings named Flora and Julian. Flora and Julian have spent most of their lives moving from foster home to foster home, and so they don't remember their beginning. They don't know where they came from. They don't know that they were born. All they know is that they always have each other, and that they always will.

As Old as Time: A Twisted Tale by Liz Braswell

Hello everyone! I know that I haven't made a trailer for any of the books that I have posted about recently, and today I have a trailer that I just HAD to make. I read As Old as Time: A Twisted Tale by Liz Braswell over the summer, but never got around to posting about it. I got so into this book, and brought it with me even if I didn't intend to read it at that moment. I have always loved fairy tales (messed up fairy tales especially--like this one!) and thought that this book would be perfect to create a trailer for! Be warned, this book is darker than it seems and will pull you in from the beginning.

My Diary from the Edge of the World by Jodi Lynn Anderson (a birthday post)

Hello everyone! A good friend of mine had her birthday a couple of days ago, and in honor of her birthday, I would like to post about one of her favorite books. My Diary from the Edge of the World by Jodi Lynn Anderson was recommended to me by this friend over a year ago, and I enjoyed it! So today I will recommend it to you!

My Diary from the Edge of the World is written from the perspective of a girl named Gracie Lockwood, who lives in a world just like ours... except for the fact that humans aren't the only species in charge. Sasquatches roam about the woods, genies are always up for gambling, dragons migrate south for the winter, and so much more. But there are also dark clouds. Dark clouds that will take a person away to die.

When a dark cloud arrives at Gracie's house, they know that it is there to take away her sickly little brother Sam, and the Lockwood's will do anything to keep their family together. Even if it means journeying to The Extraordinary World. A place that may not even exist...
