Two Dogs and a Book

The Crown of Embers by Rae Carson My rating: 5 of 5 stars What an exciting and amazing book!!! I looooooved the first one and was concerned that the second one would not be as good... I was wrong!!! This book was even better than the first one. I just wish I could start the third one right away. The waiting will be painful, but I am sure it will be worth it.

The Orchardist by Amanda Coplin My rating: 4 of 5 stars First of all I have to thank my fellow readers on Goodreads.com for inspiring me to read this book. I noticed that many people enjoyed reading it and this was a sure indicator that it should be a good book. I was not disappointed. Although, sometime the story was dragging a bit, I loved the writing style, the amazing story itself and all the characters. The author described the surroundings so well; I could almost smell those apples and apricots. The author stayed true to the story, delivering it with just the right amount of intrigue and providing all the details in due time. Beautiful book. I did weep in the end.
