Recommended Reading

Title: Inkheart
Author: Cornelia Funke
Pages: 576

Welcome to the month of mothers, anniversaries, and spring. Or should I just say welcome to May. It is getting harder and harder to recommend a book everyone each month. At first it was easy and I told you all about my most favorite reads. But now it’s getting harder. So I just try to picture you dear read as my friend and if I knew you in real life, what book would recommend for you to read? Well, after much thought, this month I want to tell you all to read Inkheart. It is the story of Mo a bookbinder and his daughter Meggie. One day Meggie discovers Mo’s hidden secret, he has the ability to read literary characters into being. And so there adventure begins. I just love the idea of the story and the relationship Meggie forms with the other characters along the way. But a side note, Inkheart is the first book in a trilogy but I wouldn’t recommend the other two at all. I pretty much hated book two and three and book one ends well enough, so that a second and third book is not required. So my suggestion would be to read Inkheart and stop the story there. Enjoy!
