Happy N day!
What a great book I’ve picked for you today!
It’s The Name of the Star by Maureen Johnson! I bet you thought I was going to pick Number the Stars, didn’t you? Well that would be a good pick too, but I didn’t chose it; THIS time. Besides, I think I chose it last year..?
Anyway, The Name of the Star is the first book in the Shades of London series. Here’s an excerpt from Goodreads.
The day Louisiana teenager Rory Deveaux arrives in London marks a memorable occasion. For Rory, it’s the start of a new life at a London boarding school. But for many, this will be remembered as the day a series of brutal murders broke out across the city, gruesome crimes mimicking the horrific Jack the Ripper events of more than a century ago.
Soon “Rippermania” takes hold of modern-day London, and the police are left with few leads and no witnesses. Except one. Rory spotted the man police believe to be the prime suspect. But she is the only one who saw him. Even her roommate, who was walking with her at the time, didn’t notice the mysterious man. So why can only Rory see him? And more urgently, why has Rory become his next target? In this edge-of-your-seat thriller, full of suspense, humor, and romance, Rory will learn the truth about the secret ghost police of London and discover her own shocking abilities.
WOOOOO HOOOOOOOO!!! Doesn’t that sound great? I’ mean, I won’t be reading this at night before I go to bed, but yeah I can’t wait to start this!
Did I mention that MoJo is a Philly girl? Yep; although she hasn’t had the honor of meeting me, but you never know, one day I might just pop up on her! At least I can stalk her and laugh at her funny jokes on Twitter.
