Tuesdays at the Castle - Jessica Day George

BOOK BEGINNING

Whenever Castle Glower became bored, it would grow a new room or two.  It usually happened on Tuesdays, when King Glower was hearing petitions, so it was the duty of the guards at the front gates to tell petitioners the only two rules the Castle seemed to follow.

This is a Junior Fiction book.  It's aimed at children 8 - 12.  I've found that these books are very well written and can hold my attention.  I've found some pretty good books in this section at my library.  This first paragraph grabbed me right away.  A Castle growing rooms?  What could that possibly be about and how does it work?  So I have to keep reading to find out.

The Friday 56

That was not a good word.  In fact, Vhervhish was a very warlike language, and the Vhervhish people had a number of different words for violent acts.  According to the book, this particular word meant to kill in secret, for "an assassination."

BOOK BLOGGER HOP

 Name one book you've read in the past that still haunts you today.

What the Night Knows by Dean Koontz.  This was a scary book, I couldn't read this after dark.  Only during the day time.  It was a really good book!  If you like scary and suspenseful you'll like this book.  
Synopsis:
In the late summer of a long-ago year, Alton Turner Blackwood brutally murdered four families. His savage spree ended only when he himself was killed by the last survivor of the last family, a fourteen-year-old boy.
Half a continent away and two decades later, someone is murdering families again, re-creating in detail Blackwood’s crimes. Homicide detective John Calvino is certain that his own family—his wife and three children—will be targets, just as his parents and sisters were victims on that distant night when he was fourteen and killed their slayer.
As a detective, John is a man of reason who deals in cold facts. But an extraordinary experience convinces him that sometimes death is not a one-way journey, that sometimes the dead return.
