In no particular order, here are the top 5 I’m planning on catching up on in 2013! Iron Hearted Violet by Kelly Barnhill I have three words for you: DRAGON RIDING PRINCESS Yup. I fully admit that the cover drew me to this book, and then I read the synopsis and instantly fell in love. I’m a huge fan of Middle Grade books, and especially ones…
