Princess of the Silver Woods

When Petunia, the youngest of King Gregor’s twelve dancing daughters, is invited to visit an elderly friend in the neighboring country of Westfalin, she welcomes the change of scenery. But in order to reach Westfalin, Petunia must pass through a forest where strange two-legged wolves are rumored to exist. Wolves intent on redistributing the wealth of the noble citizens who have entered their territory. But the bandit-wolves prove more rakishly handsome than truly dangerous, and it’s not until Petunia reaches her destination that she realizes the kindly grandmother she has been summoned to visit is really an enemy bent on restoring an age-old curse.



Love this series! Highly recommend all of her books!

Here are the other books in the series:

BOOK 1

A retelling of the tale of twelve princesses who wear out their shoes dancing every night, and of Galen, a former soldier now working in the king's gardens, who follows them in hopes of breaking the curse.

BOOK 2
Hoping to escape the troubles in her kingdom, Princess Poppy reluctantly agrees to take part in a royal exchange program, whereby young princes and princesses travel to each other's countries in the name of better political alliances—and potential marriages. It's got the makings of a fairy tale—until a hapless servant named Ellen is tricked by a vengeful fairy godmother into competing with Poppy for the eligible prince.

My Kind of Perfect by David Archuleta

I was thinking about ya
I drew a little picture
But some things you cant put on paper

Like it like shooting stars?
I write songs on guitar
Got more things to do than stare at a mirror

I know, I know, she's gotta be out there, out there
I know I know she's gotta be...

[Chorus:]
Maybe I'm wrong
Maybe I'm right
Maybe I just let you walk by
What can I say
Maybe I've known you all my life
Is she the one? Is it today?
Will I turn the corner
See my future in a beautiful face
Maybe.

She's anything but typical
A sweet surprise
No matter what, she's looking at the bright side

It's gonna be worth it
Cause that's what love is
I'll keep searching for my kind of perfect

I know, I know, she's gotta be out there, out there
I know, I know, she's gotta be...

[Chorus:]
Maybe I'm wrong
Maybe I'm right
Maybe I just let you walk by
What can I say
Maybe I've known you all my life
Is she the one? Is it today?
Will I turn the corner
See my future in a beautiful face
Maybe.

They say give it time
Give it time, and it will fall in line
But I keep wondering how and when
And why I haven't met you

But maybe I'm wrong
Maybe I'm right

Is she the one? Is it today?
Will I turn the corner
See my future in a beautiful face
Maybe

Maybe I'm wrong
Maybe I'm right
Maybe I just let you walk by
What can I say
Maybe I've known you all my life
Is she the one? Is it today?
Will I turn the corner
See my future in a beautiful face
Maybe

I'll keep searching for my kind of perfect.

Strung Out by Steve Perry (Journey)

One very happy warm summer night

I saw your face, what could I do

So carefully I walked straight up to you

And in the shadow of a moonlit night

I saw those eyes a-shinin' through

Heart of gold I love you, misty blue

Whoa, it's hard to love somebody

Especially when they don't belong to you

'Cause they're loving someone else

Strung out and hung up on you

I feel like Bogart in a crazy movie

Bogie and me, we never beg

But this time maybe I've got voices in my head

They're sayin' that he's never been good to you

And he's always hurt and let you down

If what you need is good lovin', I'll be around

It's hard to love somebody

Especially when they don't belong to you

'Cause they're loving someone else

Strung out and hung up on you

Strung out

Strung out

Well, it's hard to love somebody

Especially when they don't belong to you

'Cause they're loving someone else

Strung out and hung up on you

It's hard to love somebody

Oh, when they don't belong to you

'Cause they're loving someone else,

Strung out and hung up on you

Strung out and hung up on you

Yeah, strung out

Psych!

Perfect Scoundrels

Katarina Bishop and W.W. Hale the fifth were born to lead completely different lives: Kat comes from a long, proud line of loveable criminal masterminds, while Hale is the scion of one of the most seemingly perfect dynasties in the world. If their families have one thing in common, it’s that they both know how to stay under the radar while getting—or stealing—whatever they want.

No matter the risk, the Bishops can always be counted on, but in Hale’s family, all bets are off when money is on the line. When Hale unexpectedly inherits his grandmother’s billion dollar corporation, he quickly learns that there’s no place for Kat and their old heists in his new role. But Kat won’t let him go that easily, especially after she gets tipped off that his grandmother’s will might have been altered in an elaborate con to steal the company’s fortune. So instead of being the heir—this time, Hale might be the mark.

Forced to keep a level head as she and her crew fight for one of their own, Kat comes up with an ambitious and far-reaching plan that only the Bishop family would dare attempt. To pull it off, Kat is prepared to do the impossible, but first, she has to decide if she’s willing to save her boyfriend’s company if it means losing the boy.

Can't wait!!

Psych Quotes

Postcard From Paris by The Band Perry

I remember when my heart caught the fever.

You were standing all alone in the summer heat.

I was with my boyfriend, my new boyfriend;

He was as sweet as he could be.

But one look at you and I was through

My heart switched up on me.

Like a postcard from Paris when I've seen the real thing.

It's like finding out your diamond is from her old promise ring.

A call back from your fortune teller, she read your cards upside down.

The meanest thing you ever did is come around

And now, I'm ruined.

In the evening you can catch me daydreaming.

Did that moment send you reeling just like me?

I should have gone over, right over.

I should have never let you leave.

But it's the never-knowing that keeps this going and drives me crazy.

Like a postcard from Paris when I've seen the real thing.

It's like finding out your diamond is from her old promise ring.

A call back from your fortune teller she read your cards upside down.

The meanest thing you ever did is come around.

Just when I thought things were alright,

My eyes play tricks on my mind, yeah.

Will I ever be satisfied cause all I ever seem to find is a...

Postcard from Paris, when I need the real thing.

It's like finding out your diamond is from an old promise ring.

A call back from your fortune teller she read your cards upside down.

The meanest thing you ever did, the cruelest thing you ever did,

The meanest thing you ever did is come around.

I am ruined, yeah I'm ruined.

Now I am ruined, yeah I'm ruined
