Just jumping in to explain why not many books this month --I usually read a lot more I promise. :) But I had 4 certification tests recently so I was studying a bit instead of reading. But tests are done so I am ready to get back into reading. I was in Ann Arbor yesterday and picked up some graphic novels and a few YA and adult novels that I will keep me busy for a while.
I will be sharing a few of the books I read at the end of the school year because I didn't have a chance to post on the school blog.

Forests of Ruin by Kelley Armstrong
Ashyn and Moira are still battling the evil Alvar Kitsune with the help of some old friends and some new ones. Once again separated from each other; the sisters search for the missing children and each other. Moira is asked by the Emperor Tatsu to partner with Gavril to defeat his father while Ashyn finds her long lost grandfather and becomes part of a ritual to awaken a dragon to help win the war. But lies and betrayal are never far behind the young women as they fight to save their people. MS HS Fantasy, War, Sisters, Dragons
What I liked: I liked the sister's relationship with each other and the other characters in the story. Although they are twins they are not clones of each other neither are they exact opposites. They each have their own strengths and weaknesses but they complement each other and are able to use each other's strengths when needed. I also liked the dragon aspect of the story.
