Sefia knows what it means to survive. After her father is brutally murdered, she flees into the wilderness with her aunt Nin, who teaches her to hunt, track, and steal. But when Nin is kidnapped, leaving Sefia completely alone, none of her survival skills can help her discover where Nin’s been taken, or if she’s even alive. The only clue to both her aunt’s disappearance and her father’s murder is the odd rectangular object her father left behind, an object she comes to realize is a book—a marvelous item unheard of in her otherwise illiterate society. With the help of this book, and the aid of a mysterious stranger with dark secrets of his own, Sefia sets out to rescue her aunt and find out what really happened the day her father was killed—and punish the people responsible.

When Do You Decide to DNF?

Lately, I've been stuck in a reading rut.  My usual reading selections just haven't been satisfying my typical hunger for good books.  And so, I've been experimenting and exploring with different genres since the beginning of this year.

Recently, I picked up a classic work from English literature that just about everyone seems to love and adore.  As for me?  I can't decide whether I like the book or flat-out hate it.  I go from being ridiculously bored one minute to slightly interested the next.  Each page seems like twenty in my mind.

I can't decide whether to "DNF" it or not.

Meet the Newbies: Yearbook

Meet the Newbies is a blog event dedicated to introducing you to the “newbie” published debut authors. In this event, expect to learn more about the authors, their books, and silly fun facts! Check out the full Meet the Newbies lineup here.

This is my second year of the Meet the Newbies debut author event, and I love coordinating and planning the event. My heart swells when I see people read the posts and see how excited both the authors and readers are about the books and the event. I thought I'd close this year's event with something fun!
