ReplyDeleteWISE MAN'S FEAR! I'll have to restrain myself from picking that for every category.
I definitely think Wither is gorgeous, great cover pick there.
I read Daughter of Smoke & Bone the other day, you will love it! So different and alluring. I really want Carrier of the Mark too, I emailed the pub and begged for it just a couple of days ago. haha.

Loved watching this. I wrote down most of what you recommended. I'm not into cutsy girly books either, but I have Prom & Prej. & I'm looking forward to reading it. I didn't realize Paranormalcy was funny. I haven't read it yet. I am also really looking forward to checking out Wise Man's Fear & the first book.
ReplyDeleteYes, Paranormalcy is HILARIOUS. Evie is just a genuinely funny and smart character. Love her.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, you MUST read the Kingkiller Chronicles (ie The Name of the Wind and Wise Man's Fear)
and now paranormalcy tops my to-get list.
ReplyDeleteLiked seeing this specific. My spouse and i composed along most of what you encouraged. I'm not straight into cutsy feminine textbooks sometimes, but I get Party & Prej. & I am just looking forward to looking at the idea. I didn't comprehend Paranormalcy ended up being interesting. I haven't read it nevertheless. I am in addition genuinely looking forward to checking out Clever Mankind's Dread & the first publication.
