Because A.S. King has a tendency to grab me, right from the very first page, I thought I'd record a little reading for you guys. Check it out, let me know what you think in the comments, and if you want to be part of #WednesdayYA, join us this month in reading Please Ignore Vera Dietz!

Edgy and gripping, Please Ignore Vera Dietz is an unforgettable novel: smart, funny, dramatic, and always surprising.

Color me intrigued! I've never heard of A.S. King, but this book sounds very interesting. Very different from what I normally read, but that's what I'm looking for at the moment. Thanks for this, Misty; I'll have to check it out.
