Right now I'm only going to do it the 2nd Friday of the month, but I'm open to doing it more often if there is enough interest. If you haven't yet read this year's amazing Midnight Without a Moon , you really should. It is a wonderful story and Rose Lee Carter captured my heart fully.

The Castle in the Mist  by Amy Ephron This is a story of sister and brother spending their summer vacation in England with an aunt because their father is a journalist in Afghanistan and their mother has cancer. They meet a young boy in a mysterious castle on the top of the hill. Odd things occur. It is all very typical, which isn't always bad as there are always new kids who need to discover books. The problem here is it's not new and it's not executed very well. There is almost no character development and there are a lot of holes in both the plot and the world building. I feel like Ephron got it into her head that writing a children's book would be easy and then didn't bother to read any of the genre to help her know what she was about.
