Welcome.... To the new Reader Girls

By -


Welcome.... To the new Reader Girls blog. It is final! Since we will be celebrating three years of blogging in December, we finally decided to have someone design our header, buttons and Facebook page. We wanted our own unique identity and now we have it. We wanted to say THANK YOU! to Giselle from Xpresso Designs for her fabulous creations. We wanted something to express our love of all things magical and otherworldly and she came through for us. The font--instant love. I love the fairy blowing fairy dust. The open book with the butterflies is a great touch since we've lost ourselves in many a good book. And the background with the looming horizon is so visually appealing, we love it all. Giselle is a delight to work with, fast, and her rates are very reasonable. We are grateful for this talented designer and the great job she did for us.


Thank you Giselle!

We will be unveiling our new buttons and other items in the next few days.

The Devouring #2: Soulstice by Simon Holt

Reading level: Young Adult Hardcover: 272 pages Publisher: Little, Brown Books for Young Readers (September 1, 2009) Book summary: The terrifying, nail-biting, and grossly intriguing sequel to The Devouring.  It's been six months since Reggie first discovered and fought against the Vours, malicious and demonic beings that inhabit human bodies on the eve of the Winter Solstice.  The Vours still haunt Reggie, but only in her dreams-until one night, when an unexpected visitor turns her nightmares into reality. My Review: Soulstice was the first book I finished for the new year. Holt has created a gripping, realistic horroriffic fantasy with likable characters, a female heroine we can root for, and a truly evil protagonist. I realized this is the first YA horror series I've read and totally enjoyed. Reggie is back, wondering what the Vours are doing in the quiet time since the incident with Quinn and her rescue of brother Henry six months earlier. The peaceful break d...
