I've read WHERE THE MOUNTAIN MEETS THE MOON so many times, I should just marry it already. It's filled with stories within stories that come together so beautifully in the end. Minli is a poor girl who sets off on a quest to obtain a fortune to save her family. Probably the best read-aloud book our family has ever read. Grace Lin is a genius. Also, there are dragons. *win*

Do you like Minli? Tell me your favorite "M" characters.

Sounds like a sweet story. Marcus Eaton from Divergent is not my favourite character. He's an a-whole but you know what, he is smart and knows when to talk and when to just observe. And his faction's peace loving ways doesn't let him forget reality.
That sounds whimsical and lovely. Great choice for M, too! :)
Sounds like a fun book :)
Left and Write
First time I've ever heard of this book.
Sounds like a fun book. And yay for dragons!
M characters? Oooh, I'm going with Mr. Darcy from Pride and Prejudice. I love me some Mr. Darcy. A character that, at the beginning of the story, you want to hate and then by the end you can't help but love. Mmm hmmm.
Yes! Minli is a beautiful character. I related to her journey and enjoyed the artwork and legends/folklore that went with it.
Dragons are a winner every time
nice to meet you thru A to Z
Lady's Knight
I think I've heard of this one but never read it.
I haven't heard of this one, adding it to my TBR pile :)
I haven't read this!
(But HUGE props to you for doing the A-Z, Ilima... seriously. Amazing!)
Love the new look, Ilima!
That book was wonderful. I told my kids I want a goldfish that grants wishes!
It sounds great! :)
Stopping by from a-z. I think when this month is over I might have to hide out in May to read all of the books I am learning about. I read The Late Lamented Molly Marx awhile back so that M character comes to mind (I'd probably have forgotten her name if it wasn't in the title) :)
