What is the book this month?

The book The Ravens by Kass Morgan and Danielle Paige took me on an adventure like no other. This Book Club is outstanding. It sends you a box with a book and 4 gifts. The gifts go along with the book. The Ravens is a story about sorority girls who are actually witches. Not the green and old warty kind. The girls are divided into 4 groups: water, earth, air, and fire.

Vivian and Scarlett are the main characters and are trying to find out why terrible things are happening and who is making everything go wrong at their beloved Kappa Rho sorority house. At first Scarlett dislikes Vivian, but a very strong connection grows between them. Vivian is the strongest earth sign and someone is after her because of it. Scarlet has to let go of someone she loves in order to keep them safe and stop whatever dark magic is coming or else it will kill them all.

It surprised me the most to find out who was causing the terrible things to happen and why they were doing it. I personally really liked the book. It is a thrilling adventure, funny, sad and loving, all in one. I did not have anything I disliked about this book. I would definitely recommend it.

What is Once Upon a Time Book Club?

It is a monthly book club that comes in the mail with a newly released book with 3 – 5 small gifts with page numbers on them. When you get to a certain page in the book, you open the present and it seems as though you are in the book itself.

Why be part of a book club?

So people like me, who love to read all the time and want to go on adventures, but don’t want to leave their comfort zone, can experience new people and places. I am 11 and can’t exactly drive yet, so I am limited.

What is next month’s book?

The Love Curse of Melody McIntyre by Robin Talley. I cannot wait to read this book.

One of Liyla’s favorite Christmas presents this year was the subscription her mother gave her to the Once Upon a Book Club at OnceUponABookClub.com. The website offers 1 – 12 month subscriptions for either Young Adults (age 14+) or Adults (age 18+). Each monthly box includes a newly-released book as well as 3 – 5 related gifts, a 5” x 7” print of a quote from the book, discussion questions, and online group discussions on Facebook and Instagram.

My Mask

You say you recognize my mask, made by a mutual friend from fabric your Mother left behind. And smiling, I recall the neat piles of fabric always surrounding my own Mother. So many years of sunlight streaming down on her bent head As she trundled the machine, deft hands guiding the needle, Gentle tugs to keep things right. Seersucker bedspreads, poodle skirts, crinoline slips, gently made for two young sisters. Curtains for every window in every house. My own first effort — a nursery draped in yellow baby ducks. So, in your prayers tonight, thank your Mother for the mask that’s keeping me safe today, the mask that has held

Animal Conservation, a Million Dollar Business

Aiken Artists support the rescue efforts of endangered animals through art Paul Swart, from Rhino Conservation Botswana, was the featured speaker at the Aiken Center for the Arts on Friday, February 18. He explained that poverty in Botswana is a motivating factor for poaching rhinos. “The horn is believed to have medicinal value and can produce enough powder to earn $65,000 on the black market in Asia,” he said. There are fewer than 30,000 black and white rhinos left in the world. Through efforts to transport, guard, and breed these animals, conservationists strive to keep the species from extinction, but it is a million dollar business. The government provides some
