"Knowledge is power," most say, but power corrupts all the same. See, knowledge exists as a pyramid. Very many things know nothing, but only one knows everything. To climb the pyramid isn't difficult, up to some point. The climb can be a taxing thing; the climb can deteriorate the mind and render knowledge worthless. Because, you see, knowledge can't replace everything. Amelia Wakefield took the climb by personal invitation. She met every obstacle the universe could come up with, but knowledge is too powerful. Curiosity is too powerful. The New York editor once abducted by aliens now finds herself at the controls. The New York editor once blind of mind now finds herself aware of the many things she can know. Curiosity drove her by the neck, and dragged her like a noose to the very near top of the pyramid. Curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought her back

Lose yourself in a good book.

Once upon a time... Far, far away... That's how all tales start, don't they? Mother would know. But Mother's gone and Corbin has to learn how to deal with eerily familiar voices coming from the misty forest, mysterious boys with charming smiles in the blooming fields, and cruel stepmothers taking over your manor and making you their personal servant.

The Wind in the Willows is a children's novel by Kenneth Grahame, first published in 1908. Alternately slow moving and fast paced, it focuses on four anthropomorphised animals in a pastoral version of Edwardian England. The novel is notable for its mixture of mysticism, adventure, morality and camaraderie, and celebrated for its evocation of the nature of the Thames Valley. The novel was in its 31st printing when playwright A. A. Milne adapted part of it for the stage as Toad of Toad Hall in 1929. Almost a century later, it was adapted again for the stage as a musical by Julian Fellowes. In 2003, The Wind in the Willows was listed at number 16 in the BBC's survey The Big Read.

If you liked The Raven Cycle, Six of Crows, or the Percy Jackson books- you might find this story worth reading. This is a story about an odd group of high school seniors with a plethera of personal issues trying to figure out magic and if their fates intertwining was a good or bad thing. ( *NOTE- Full length chapters begin at 'Chapter One' (part 7) The first six parts are short to introduce the main characters, you can skip them if you want, but it provides a lot of set up for the characters.)
