		<title>30 Days of Books Meme&#8211;Day 4</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Day 04 – Your favorite book or series ever This is a VERY difficult one to answer.  There are so many books that I truly love, and choosing just one among many feels sort of like trying to choose a favorite child. I suppose the two series that made the greatest impression upon me growing [...]]]></description>

		<title>30 Days of Books Meme&#8211;Day 3</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Day 03 – The best book you’ve read in the last 12 months Hands down, The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie.  It is filled with humor but manages to not make light of serious issues.  Plus, it is one of the few books I&#8217;ve ever read that made me both [...]]]></description>

		<title>30 Days of Books Meme&#8211;Day 2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Day 02 – A book or series you wish more people were reading and talking about A lot of YA series have gotten a lot of attention lately.  From Twilight to Percy Jackson, Hollywood has discovered that young readers make a good target audience.  Yet, I feel that they have overlooked a positive gem in [...]]]></description>

		<title>30 Days of Books Meme&#8211;Day 1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Day 01 – A book series you wish had gone on longer OR a book series you wish would just freaking end already (or both!) Well, when I was a kid, I really wished that The Lord of the Rings went on and on.  I was somewhat satiated when the Silmarillion was finally published, but [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Looking Glass Wars</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Alice in Wonderland is one of those books, at least for me, that was fun to read as a child, but then when I reread it as an adult, it had me wondering if  Charles Dodgson (a.k.a. Lewis Carroll) wasn&#8217;t a but touched.  In The Looking Glass Wars, Frank Beddor takes this classic children&#8217;s tale [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Heir Series</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My brother recommended these books to me, so I suppose that he should really be the one to write the review.  He doesn&#8217;t feel all that confident in his writing (yet), so you&#8217;ll have to put up with my version, yet again. As far as fantasy for young adults goes, these books are some of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Uprising</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This novel isn&#8217;t a page-turner, but it is certainly a good historical novel.  The story centers around the events that led up to the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire, which was the catalyst that finally initiated significant reforms to workplace laws that actually protect workers. The novels follows three young girls that are all tied to [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;Though she be but little, she is fierce.&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It should come at no surprise that I absolutely adored the novel The Total Tragedy of a Girl Named Hamlet by Erin Dionne.  The main character&#8217;s parents are professors of Shakespeare and her little sister is a girl genius&#8211;a seven year old taking college courses, but who must attend public school for a year before [...]]]></description>

		<title>Inkheart by Cornelia Funke</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is the second book I&#8217;ve read by Funke, and I must say this is the better of the two.  I find her unorthodox in her approach towards children&#8217;s fantasy in that very little of the story is based on anything fantastical.  Her characters are very much grounded in the real world and must deal [...]]]></description>
