I read this book faster than Usain Bolt runs. I started around 8 last night, stopped at 11, picked back up at 7, done by 9. The book was nearly 500 pages long, so I read about 100 pages per hour… Catherine is the daughter of the Marquess, meaning that she is a noble. She…

Amulet Book 1: The Stonekeeper
When I picked up this book, I did not really know what to expect. I felt like I had heard of it before, but I didn’t remember where. I never remembered even seeing it before. Then I actually picked it up and read it, and I fell in love with it instantly. Emily and her…
