Updates: Endy is ok!!

Hey guys if you dont know we had a really big scare back on the 8th.  Endy was sent home from school and went to the doctor at around 4pm later that night.  She then ended up being carted off to the ICU here in Lakeland.  It seems that she has Type 1 Diabeties. She is ok and we are finally home (thank the gods). 2 nights in the ICU are not fun at all for anyone.  She is now on the meds she needs for the condition and we are getting though this one day at a time. 

A few people have asked about sending her care packages which we thank you for. It was a pretty big shock to find this out. Please email me or find us on social media if you would like to send one.  

Whoever sent us the gift card to walmart thanks!! This is going to help out a lot with buying food!!! Eating has never been so much trouble.

#BookReview: Tess of the Road by Rachel Hartman

About the Book:

In the medieval kingdom of Goredd, women are expected to be ladies, men are their protectors, and dragons get to be whomever they want. Tess, stubbornly, is a troublemaker. You can't make a scene at your sister's wedding and break a relative's nose with one punch (no matter how pompous he is) and not suffer the consequences. As her family plans to send her to a nunnery, Tess yanks on her boots and sets out on a journey across the Southlands, alone and pretending to be a boy.

Where Tess is headed is a mystery, even to her. So when she runs into an old friend, it's a stroke of luck. This friend is a quigutl--a subspecies of dragon--who gives her both a purpose and protection on the road. But Tess is guarding a troubling secret. Her tumultuous past is a heavy burden to carry, and the memories she's tried to forget threaten to expose her to the world in more ways than one.

This title will be released on February 27, 2018.

So he presents a challenge: the princess must first go on a Quest of Kindness and perform good deeds to prove that she truly deserves to go to knight school.

#BookRecommendations with @AdrianaMather

  The Titanic meets the delicious horror of Ransom Riggs and the sass of Mean Girls in this follow-up to the #1 New York Times bestseller How to Hang a Witch, in which a contemporary teen finds herself a passenger on the famous “ship of dreams”—a story made all the more fascinating because the author’s own relatives survived the doomed voyage.

Samantha Mather knew her family’s connection to the infamous Salem Witch Trials might pose obstacles to an active social life. But having survived one curse, she never thought she’d find herself at the center of a new one. 

This time, Sam is having recurring dreams about the Titanic . . . where she’s been walking the deck with first-class passengers, like her aunt and uncle. Meanwhile, in Sam’s waking life, strange missives from the Titanic have been finding their way to her, along with haunting visions of people who went down with the ship. 

Ultimately, Sam and the Descendants, along with some help from heartthrob Elijah, must unravel who is behind the spell that is drawing her ever further into the dream ship . . . and closer to sharing the same grim fate as its ghostly passengers.
