At Buzz the Book today...

...is a synopsis and excerpt of The Jaguar Legacy by Maureen Fisher. I have to admit, I haven't read this one but it sounds wonderful. In fact, if I had a copy of it, I'd spend today by the fire with a cup of hot cocoa and read.

Winter had finally paid us a visit and fireplaces, hot cocoa and a great book would be the perfect way to spend the day:-)

Stop by Buzz the Book and check it out!
