#amreading in Greens
Bargain Books. Here’s a recent stack of thrift store book buys, all in shades of yellow and green. (It’s incredibly dangerous to have a Goodwill Bookstore in driving distance.)
BYWAYS: In Print
For your Bookshelf. Nothing encourages kids to read and reread a series like having copies on your home bookshelves. The award-winning Byways Books are available as both paperbacks and hardcover library editions. (Contact CJ via email if you’re interested in ordering author-signed copies.)
This person was the embodiment of all the stories he’d ever heard about this race of foreign conquerors—skin like bronze, draped in jewels, and armed to the teeth.”

#amreading Castle Glower
Princess Celie. This lower middlegrade series has a fairy tale feel and a sentient castle. I fell in love on Tuesday … and have since collected every other day of the week currently in print (up through #5, Saturdays at Sea).
BYWAYS: Illustrations
Every one of the Byways Books includes beautiful full-color art by my illustrator, Hannah Christenson. Here’s a sampling from Book #4, Up the Mountain: A Ganix Johns Adventure.
