Princess of Glass by Jessica Day George



Princess of Glass, the 2nd book in the Princesses of Westfalin series, is just as wonderful as the first book. I loved it! It is full of mystery, adventure, and romance. Who could ask for more? It was very well written, a real page turner. Supposedly it is based on the fairy tale Cinderella, but it has such an incredible twist, its completely unique.

Just like with Princess of the Midnight Ball I would LOVE to rate this book G but unfortunately I have to rate it PG because again it has some scary parts in it. I would probably suggest it to 11 year olds at the youngest, and again anyone older than that can totally enjoy it too.

Here's a good summary.

Anne's House of Dreams by L. M Montgomery


At first you wouldn't think it could stay interesting- Anne got married, what else could there be? With L.M Montgomery's bit of humor and interesting characters, however, you quickly find that it is just as wonderful as the others, especially the more you got into it. Without the complicated romance, it may come across a little more plain, but lets not forget... there are other characters, with other romances! Haha- I'm kind of kidding. ;)
If you're wondering if I didn't post anything about Anne of Windy Poplars, its because I read a couple of chapters and... got kinda bored. The whole book were letters from Anne to other people. There were still funny, entertaining, sweet parts, but overall of what I read (about 4 chapters) it didn't keep my interest, so I decided to skip it. This book was good though :)

Just like the rest of the books its rated E for everyone.


Hope anyone who hasn't read it yet, considers reading it!

Here's a good summary of Anne's House of Dreams.
