Although, if every now and then you want a feature on children books that I liked and did not like, let me know and I can make it happen! Now, on to the good stuff! I feel like this is the time of year I get to read a lot. Thanksgiving break, Christmas breaks, snow days etc. During this time of year I get into mood reading, but my mood seems to not fit a category YA can help me with.
