Welcome to March!! Hopefully spring is beginning to show her face, even if just a little bit. Montana actually has had some beautiful weather lately and it's beyond amazing.

TRAIL OF LIGHTNING and STORM OF LOCUSTS. People, if you haven't read these yet, go snag copies now. You won't regret it. They're quick reads that grab you and don't let go. Plus, I am a majorly huge fan for Navajo mythology, mainly because my research centers on this part of the world, and these are honestly like book-crack. I couldn't put them down, and it's one of those few series where I stalk the author online now in hopes of word of when we'll get the next few books. I'm hard pressed to name what makes these books so well done: the world building is fantastic, they're unique, the pacing is spot-on, but really it comes down to some utterly wonderful characters. Maggie, the MC, is fabulous. She's been through some serious sh!t, and that's evident and shapes her in ways that are realistic and tough, but she's also someone I'd love to sit down and talk to for a bit. Or just watch. Honestly, it's a bit of a girl-crush :) Anyhow, this series isn't to be missed, and the next one needs to come out soooooooon!
