Between you and I, Coliloquy is an amazing publisher. I have read their Parish Mail series from the first book and totally loved it; dying a slow, painful death waiting for book 4. I am also totally into The Spellspinners of Melas County, an amazing series about witches, warlocks and a powerful curse. The Active Fiction element took me by surprise; I really thought I would hate it, but I love the interactiveness. Have you read any Active Fiction? Do you like it? Have you read any of the books included in the Reading Challenge (listed below) and if so, who is your favorite author? character?
I can't wait to take part in Coliloquy's Summer Reading Challenge and hope that you will join me and the other awesome bloggers and readers already signed up!!

Happy Summer Reading,
Becca
