A Company of Swans Review




So,over the summer,I took up ballet lessons.I have fell in love with it! So,when I heard about Eva Ibbotson's A Company of Swans,I knew I had to read it! This book tells about a girl who follows her dreams,despite what other people think!She joins a traveling ballet company!She has far less experience than any of the other dancers in the company,but they see her passion,dedication,and willingness to learn.I can relate to that aspect of the girls life!She followed her dreams despite people telling her she could not be good! This is another book that I would say would be a great summer read as well!:)

Hope was here Review




Hope was here is written by one of my all time favorite authors who also wrote other titles such as Rules of the Road and Squashed Sticks.This story tells of Hope (formerly known as Tulip) and her aunt,Addie.They both work in the food industry and are forced ton move to Wisconsin due to an other belly up restaurant.Here,she finds not only adventure in the diner,but also some local politics!

This book is a blissful blend of romantic,adventurous and all together delightful!I had the hardest time outing this one down.It is also a light easy read that will make the ends of your lips smile and possibly a few tears fall from your eyes! I "hope"you enjoy it!:)
