END OF DAYS (Penryn and the End of Days #3) by Susan Ee

June 2, 2015

Audiobook cover of END OF DAYS (Penryn and the End of Days #3) by Susan EeReading End of Days made me wish Angelfall was a standalone. The series of Penryn and the End of Days held so much promise, especially with Angelfall, which I found very original with its unconventional portrayal of angels.

CRUEL BEAUTY by Rosamund Hodge

February 4, 2015

Audiobook cover of CRUEL BEAUTY (Cruel Beauty Universe #1) by Rosamund HodgeCruel Beauty wasn’t actually on my radar but I snagged the audiobook for free during SYNC 2014, just in case I’d change my mind. Well, I did change my mind a few months later, so downloading just in case was a good move.

CINDER (The Lunar Chronicles #1) by Marissa Meyer

January 13, 2015

Audiobook cover of CINDER by Marissa Meyer narrated by Rebecca SolerCinder wasn’t technically on the list of books I wanted to read. Sure, I had seen bloggers rave about The Lunar Chronicles but somehow I let all that excitement pass me by. Big mistake! Cinder was wonderful!

MY TRUE LOVE GAVE TO ME edited by Stephanie Perkins

December 24, 2014

Audiobook cover of MY TRUE LOVE GAVE TO ME edited by Stephanie PerkinsAs a whole I liked the concept of a collection of short holiday stories. Where My True Love Gave to Me shines is the multiplicity of views. There are stories for Christmas, Hanukkah and Winter Solstice. There are stories about people who subvert heteronormativity. There are stories about people from multicultural and non-White backgrounds.

THE NIGHT CIRCUS by Erin Morgenstern

December 18, 2014

THE NIGHT CIRCUS by Erin MorgensternLet’s get the cliché part of this book review out of the way first: The Night Circus was absolutely enchanting! It was magical and beautifully written. This audiobooks was a treat for the senses, especially because Jim Dale narrated it and he sounds like the perfect traditional storyteller.
