Really interesting to read about a magical world involving Grishas. Influenced by Russian culture, the world is created with layers of depth and complex characters.

It was a good read. If you live in Texas you will know all the towns that is in the book.

The Dreamer
by Pam Muñoz Ryan

book cover


Another young adult genre read. This one was personally driven by my love of poet, Pablo Neruda. I loved the author's interpretation of what his childhood was like (with creative liberties of course). It seems he had a very stereotypical Hispanic upbringing, where he needed to be more of a man's man, and not a writer, dreamer and collector. Seeing how he breaks the mold of what is expected of him and becoming who he is destined to be is heartwarming.

I enjoyed the vibe of this book mostly, because I really didn't care much for the characters. The setting and the magic was nice, but that's about all.

Family Lore

This has one was so intriguing to read. The story is of a family of sisters who all had different gifts. The mom that the story focuses around has everyone up in arms because she wants to have a living wake. With no illness in sight, her family knows her gift is that of knowing how/when someone will die. This sets us up to dive into all of the characters, their thoughts on her impending wake, and their gifts. Coming from a large family with my mom being one of many sisters, this read had me grasping for each chapter.

The Poet X

book cover


This book sang to me in more ways than one! The tempo of the audio version was as if you were at a slam poetry reading! A family from traditional Latin values, putting emphasis on God and good grades but diminishing the talent of their daughter who writes poetry. The drastic measures that the mom takes to steer X away from poetry was heart wrenching to me. Though in the end the way the daughter is able to bring her family to truly see her talent is endearing. Again, LOVED the audio version of this book!
