The Night Sister by Jennifer McMahon

Guards! Guards! by Terry Pratchett

Plot: I liked the plot, the idea of a dragon overtaking a community was very interesting to me and held my attention throughout. Characters: I loved the characters, especially Vimes and Carrot.

Turn To Page 394 Tuesday #1

Similar to Friday 56, Turn to Page 394 requires turning to page 394 and sharing a sentence, passage or whatever strikes your fancy on that particular page. For my first Turn to Page 394, I find it most fitting to start with Harry Potter. Disappointingly, The Prisoner of Azkaban does not have 394 pages, thus […]
