Book 2 of the Patchwork Circle series. I enjoyed this book better than the first one. It was a perfectly clean, good book. A bit slow for me but a nice, easy book to read. (347 pgs)

They know every tree and herb and they know how to survive in a time of enchantment and powerful magic.

Only one boy can stop it - 12 year old Torak, who has seen his father murdered by the bear. With his dying breath, Torak's father tells his son of the burden that is his. He must lead the bear to the mountain of the World Spirit and beg that spirit's help to overcome it. Torak is an unwilling hero.
Book 1 of the Chronicles of Ancient Darkness series. Enjoyable teen fiction. The plot reminded me of The Lord of the Rings series but in Native American settings. (293 pgs)
Glory by Lori Copeland (Adult Fiction)The fourth book in Lori Copeland's popular historical romance series about mail-order brides. Glory, a young woman whose only relative has just died, joins up with a wagon train of mail-order brides en route to Colorado. Lively adventures, valuable lessons, and a heartwarming romance soon follow.
Book 4 of the Brides of the West series. I liked this one too but the plot wasn't very realistic. It was a cute, clean romance though. (320 pgs)

A Winter's Gift by Lauren Brooke (Juvenile Fiction)Since breaking up with Ty and throwing herself into her college work, Amy is more independent and confident than ever. But when she returns to Heartland for her winter break she learns that a lot of things have changed. A pregnant mare will need both Amy and Ty's help to save her. But will the two of them be able to work together again? Amy never realized that coming home for the holidays would be so complicated.
I loved the Heartland series when I was younger so I decided to read this 'special edition' book. I don't remember everything from the series but this was a fine book. It took me about an hour and a half to read so it's not a very challenging book. It's an easy read. (189 pgs)
