Last night, the Little One begged me to read with her. Since she’s become a teenager, it’s been a while. She highly recommended Minerva Wakes, by Holly Lisle, which she had read before but which she wanted to read again.

(Our copy is falling apart, and I should probably find another to replace it.)

I wasn’t planning on starting another book right now, as I’m in the middle of several others. But looking for a story we could share… This was probably the best option.

It’s a story about a tired housewife, Minerva, and her husband, Darryl, who are having problems. Or at least they think they’re having problems, until a blue wraith kidnaps their three children. Then they really start having problems.
