I LOVED Tori, she’s sassy, she’s vibrant, and she’s got a good (though impulsive) head on her shoulders, The fact that magic lives amongst us in Secret Guilds that are protected by a shadowy Government Agency… IT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE! ![]() This book definitely had ELEMENTS of a reverse harem, but please don’t be scared away by that!! It’s a fun fantasy all the way! I loved the world building in this book. It’s 100% fun, sassy, fast-paced urban fantasy. Note: The three mages are definitely sexy, but this series isn’t a reverse harem. So what’s a broke girl to do? Take the job, of course-with a pay raise. Either I’m exactly the kind of takes-no-shit bartender this guild needs, or there’s a good reason no one else wants to work here. And the three cocky guys I drenched with a margarita during my trial? Yeah, they were mages. That’s the definition of fitting in, right? Their customers were complete dickheads, and I was an asshole right back. ![]() ![]() It went downhill the moment they asked me to do a trial shift instead of an interview-to see if I’d mesh with their “special” clientele.

I love writing novels for teens (and for savvy grown ups who know that YA rocks at any age). ![]() I wanted to be an author for young readers, which I am! I wanted a mansion, limo, lake house, pool and speed boat (still sounds quite nice). Buy all the Cabbage Patch Kids in the world and give them away for free (because apparently that was how I rolled). I've been writing ever since I can remember, but it was fourth grade when I put my "three wishes" for a genie down on paper. I'm Jen Calonita, a MG and YA author who loves what I do because it lets me connect with all of you (and no, I wasn't intending for that to rhyme!). ![]() ![]() ![]() The first three books in the series were made into feature films: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe (2005), Prince Caspian (2008), and The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (2010). I brought this series Chronicles of Narnia from Snazal Wholesale Books. The Narnia books are great for the 9-12 year old reading level but can be enjoyed by different age groups. Kids will be charmed with the escapades and more develop book lovers will like the concealed profundities, and also overlooking their inconveniences by being transported again to more satisfied, more cheerful days.Ī really brilliant work that gets into your dreams and never genuinely abandons you. Presently, returning to the place that is known for Narnia over a quarter of a century later, was similar to a startling cheerful gathering with a departed companion. I first read this as an adolescent, and it snatched my creative ability in a manner that no other book (with the conceivable exemption of Lord of the Rings) has done since. ![]() This delightful release of the Chronicles of Narnia profits from the seven stories being in their right legitimate succession, and additionally from the most popular, captivating delineations of Pauline Baynes, who portrays everything from the Elysian mystical vicinity of fauns and dryads to the frightful spirit of Tash, with incredible expertise and affectability. ![]() ![]() The titles include 1922 (about a man who murdered his wife), Big Driver (a drive home that went really, really bad), Fair Extension (a man makes a deal with the actual devil), and A Good Marriage (I’ll let your imagination do the guessing). It’s easier to approach shorter stories cemented in the real world, especially if you’re new to horror and sci-fi, so be prepared to go full-fledged King fanatic after this read. Full Dark, No Stars is a compilation of four novellas that focus on the darkness of human nature and retribution. ![]() And damn, does he know how to pack a punch in a few pages. Like most authors, King started out writing short stories and novellas. ![]() |
