Author Review: Stephenie Meyer

Hitting the literary world like a whirlwind with her debut novel “Twilight” and not letting up for a single second, Stephenie Meyer is one of the most talk-about authors currently publishing.

She won a National Merit Scholarship and graduated from Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, with a bachelor’s degree in English. She is married and lives in Phoenix with her husband, who she has known since she was four years old. Together they have three sons. She … Continue reading →

But round about the tenth recommendation, I though I’d give it a try. You can read about it here. When my friend lent me “New Moon,” the sequel, I was a very good girl and didn’t touch it for two days, but when I did, I read the first half before going to bed and the second half after waking up the next morning. I’m hooked. When we … Continue reading →

Wildwood Dancing – Juliet Marillier

I have just found my favorite book of the year. Granted, we’ve still got twenty-one days to go until the year is over, but a book would have to bend over backwards to please me more than “Wildwood Dancing” did. Think, the twelve dancing princesses, the frog prince, and “Twilight,” all mixed up in one, and you’ll have a pretty good idea what this book is about. Jena is the second sister of five. Her oldest sister, Tatiana, is lovely, as is her next youngest sister, Iulia, but Jena herself is rather plain, with bushy hair that never will stay … Continue reading →
