Twilight, New Moon, & Eclipse

I devoured these books. Read them in one week, actually. It's been a while since a new story got my attention and captured my imagination. It is young adult fiction, but very well written and I would describe it as a guilty pleasure. The story revolves around a young woman and a family of vampires...which may have a teeny, tiny bit to do with what sucked me in...I love vampire stories.
I was quite intrigued and enjoyed the characteristics she gave these vampires, not at all the typical myths associated with them. I would recommend these to anyone who just wants to escape into a very interesting world for a while!

The Whistling Season

This is such a sweet, beautiful story. It is kind of a slower, mellow read but you can't help but turn every page to discover where he was taking you, and what these fabulous characters were going to do next. By the end of it, I almost envied the pace and lifestyle of the early 1900s!
