Demon's Lexicon Trilogy #02: The Demon's Covenant by Sarah Rees Brennan
Demon's Lexicon Trilogy #02: The Demon's Covenant

Michelle Simkins, January 1, 2011

I simply adored this book. The point of view is tight, the emotional life of the character is vividly expressed AND there is plenty of excitement, humor, sexual tension, and of course demons and magic and all that. Love love love.

The Herbal Medicine-makers Handbook: a Home Manual by James Green
The Herbal Medicine-makers Handbook: a Home Manual

If you only ever buy one book on making herbal remedies, this should be the one. Not only is it comprehensive, but it's also just delightful to read. I can cuddle up with it and read it like a novel.

The Wood Wife by Terri Windling
The Wood Wife

Michelle Simkins, March 5, 2010

I adore this novel. I hate hot, dry weather, but every time I read it I feel an urge to pack up and move to the desert . . . beautiful, transformative, and satisfying. One of my favorite books ever.

The Demon's Lexicon Signed Edition by Sarah Rees Brennan
The Demon's Lexicon Signed Edition

Michelle Simkins, October 5, 2009

Nick Ryves is NOT a sympathetic character. And yet all through the book, I found myself rooting for him and being curiously drawn to him. Is it just the typical bad-boy mystique, or is it something more? A total page-turner, I pretty much read it in one (very long) sitting, neglecting to make dinner or shower. Action packed, witty dialogue, amazing point of view and character development. Read it read it read it!
