I like the idea of books having a mind of their own as well....explains why sometimes in the bookstore a book simply "calls" to me.... *_* (okay, so I don't actually hear a voice or anything, but book lovers....you know what I mean) Thanks for sharing....and happy reading!Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01067420839553243250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-594502524570705142.post-66080765662619132902010-02-18T09:27:08.778-06:002010-02-18T09:27:08.778-06:00Oh it sounds grand!

I havent read GARDEN SPELLS but I think I just might :) <br />This was a fun re-introduction to magical realism because I'm very unfamiliar with that genre.

(I'm totally with you on the F bombs - I don't even like them in adult books, but in YA... tsk tsk tsk.) <br /><br />The Sugar Queen is one of my favorite books of all time. And it inspired me to write my WIP as magical realism. I also switch between POVs but it's chapter by chapter, and it's in first person. A little easier to follow, I think. But Allen does it well! Her newest book, The Girl Who Chased the Moon, is coming out next month I believe.Kristin Raehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14169967050454852124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-594502524570705142.post-42031411409930765722010-02-17T21:54:13.478-06:002010-02-17T21:54:13.478-06:00Hadn't heard of this one, but wow, it is defin...Hadn't heard of this one, but wow, it is definitely going on my TBR list!StephTheBookwormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05340476943567585965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-594502524570705142.post-33715566144557697132010-02-17T20:05:56.573-06:002010-02-17T20:05:56.573-06:00Geez your review is super super thorough. and i li...Geez your review is super super thorough. and i like all the sweet references!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00776958716300701782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-594502524570705142.post-21510044860658102542010-02-17T17:49:06.324-06:002010-02-17T17:49:06.324-06:00Great review, thank you for sharing !
