  • Children’s Books I Love: The Enchanted Forest Chronicles

    Magical, marvelous, and laugh-out-loud funny, the Enchanted Forest Chronicles by Patricia C. Wrede captured my heart on the very first page of the first book. There are four books in the Enchanted Chronicles series: Dealing with Dragons, Searching for Dragons, Calling on Dragons, and Talking to Dragons. The first three follow the adventures of Princess…

  • Dystopian Futures in Octavia Butler’s Earthseed Trilogy

    When it comes to dystopian fiction, Octavia Butler’s Earthseed trilogy holds a special place in my heart.

Picture a world not…
