Seraphina byRachel Hartman Know how I’ve always marveled and pondered the many ways authors handle the subject of dragons? Well, in Seraphina, they are intelligent, possess advanced technology, and have a magical ability that lets them take human form.

Meeting of the Waters by Kim McLarin The meeting of the waters is an actual natural event that occurs in Brazil. It’s where the water from the Solimões River (which is muddy) meets with the dark water from Rio Negro. They run side by side without mixing. I’ve seen pictures of it, but I hope […]

Wild Seed by Octavia E. Butler What a fascinating book. I read Mind of My Mind first, where I met the main characters here, but as that was not their story, they did not have much depth. Reading Wild Seed, it made me somewhat disappointed that they did not have as much to do in […]
