What I Am Listening To...

The Good House

Celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month with Books

The beginning of September I did a post about September being Hispanic Heritage Month.  In the post I added a few books that I though would be interesting to read to celebrate the month.  Then I realized there are a few more I should have added.  So here are a few more books that will give you an opportunity to explore the Hispanic Culture and add some diversity to your bookshelf.

I Love This! Timestitcher

$20.00 from Timestitcher at Etsy.com

 Like I mentioned awhile ago, Etsy one of my newest favorite places to do some purse window shopping.  While I still love the big name designer bags, I will always have a need to have a purse that is one of a kind and a conversation piece.  I love having one thing with my outfit that stands out.  

Today, I was window shopping over at Etsy and I ran across my newest favorite shop.  

Cover Color in Books: Emerald Green

This year Pantone picked EMERALD GREEN to be the color of 2013.  So what a great opportunity to make a list of books with Emerald Green covers.

Summer Crossing by Julie Kagawa

Julie Kagawa's bestselling series The Iron Fey captivated the imagination—and hearts—of readers of all ages with its mix of magic, fantasy and romance. Now, readers can enjoy a special novella from one of Julie's most beloved characters, Puck!
A Midsummer's Nightmare?
Robin Goodfellow. Puck. Summer Court prankster, King Oberon's right hand, bane of many a faery queen's existence—and secret friend to Prince Ash of the Winter Court. Until one girl's death came between them, and another girl stole both their hearts.
Now Ash has granted one favor too many and someone's come to collect, forcing the prince to a place he cannot go without Puck's help—into the heart of the Summer Court. Puck faces the ultimate choice—betray Ash and possibly win the girl they both love, or help his former friend turned bitter enemy pull off a deception that no true faery prankster could possibly resist.
Don't miss the next chapter of the Iron Fey saga, The Lost Prince.
