Did you every have one of those days....ugh yes!
ReplyDeleteVery nice haul! I love your fairytale events b/c I always learn about books that I had no idea existed or that had a fairy tale connection. I have Sarah J. Mass' other series on my list to read too.
Lucky you to go to the signing. ;)
There are a lot of books out there that use fairy tale tropes, or as inspiration, that you'd never guess until you start picking it apart. =)
DeleteRook is really good! It is set in a dystopian world technically but to me it felt more like a fantasy read then anything else. I really enjoyed it!. I have also read Hold Me Like a Breath and it is really good as well. I didn't realize that it was set after the Princess and the Pea but now that you say that I can defiantly see similarities!!! Can't wait to read A Court of Thorns and Roses I love Sarah J. Maas!!!!
ReplyDeleteSo many people are telling me they're excited about Rook - it's making ME excited! lol!
Deletemmm signed books... :D Love those color coded shelves behind you. That speaks to my OCD
ReplyDeleteI need to redo them, but yes, it's very satisfying. =D
DeleteYay! Garden Spells is my favorite! And thanks- never read a Patrick Rothfuss so I'll check that out now.
ReplyDeleteOhhh, yes, read The Name of the Wind. So good!
DeleteI read and quite enjoyed The Dark Unwinding by Sharon Cameron (have yet to read the sequel to it), and am definitely intrigued by the sound of Rook! I think it's at least loosely based on The Scarlet Pimpernel? Anyway, it sounds awesome :D
ReplyDeleteReally?! I didn't realize that, but I love The Scarlet Pimpernel! That makes me more eager to read it. =D
