Reviews from Our Readers
Butcher & Blackbird
by Brynne Weaver

"Steamy and fun! I listened to this on audiobook and absolutely loved it!" (EC, 7/24/2024)
The field guide
by Tony DiTerlizzi

"I found this delightful young adult fiction book at a nearby Little Library during an afternoon walk and enjoyed it so much that I checked out the other four in this series from the Athens Regional Library System and have read them too (Book 2: The Seeing Stone, Book 3: Lucinda’s Secret, Book 4:The Ironwood Tree, and Book 5: the Wrath of Mulgarath). Each book is 100 to 150 pages including the drawings and a chapter of the next Book. The first book tends to focus on Jared’s discovery and use of his uncle’s field diary that recounts and illustrates a magical world that includes brownies, trolls, sprites, faeries, elves, goblins, hobgoblins, dragons, a griffin, and ogres. The use and the possession of the field diary has a key role not only in this book but also in the whole series. Jared shares the field guide with his twin brother Simon and his older sister Mallory who at first don’t think that the field guide reveals anything worth exploring. What is particularly intriguing about this book and
the other four is leaning how Jared uses what he learns about this magical world, how he and his two siblings work together and become closer, and what Jared learns about his mother and his estranged father." (EC, 7/30/2024)
