Happy weekend to you all!
I'm posting early since I have to work tonight.
I took a break from Harry Potter to read Julie Kagawa's newest book, which releases in October. I'll be back to Potter right after this one!
Check out this read on Amazon.
Here is my snippet from 26%, since I've only just begun reading it.

    I'm reading this one too, but I'll confess that I'm having a little bit of a hard time getting into it, which is surprising because I love Kagawa. I just need to sit down and spend some focused time reading it.

      Honestly, I felt much the same at the start with my lack of Japanese folklore knowledge. It does get better and you will get sucked in, just keep with it. :-)
