Book of the Week!!! 06/19-06/25

June 19, 2012 by unwasted words

I love a good dystopian romance, so it’s not a surprise that Legend blew me away. It has a little bit of everything. If you like YA romance read this. If you like repressed rigid dystopian societies, then this one is for you. Looking for a little Robin Hood rebel action, with a West Side Story / Romeo & Juliet forbidden love then look no further. Legend is a great book with mass appeal. Whatever your favorite thing about a story […]

Wednesday’s Watch -The Hunt

May 2, 2012 by unwasted words

The Hunt appears to be a vampire book with some edge. I’ve read some comparisons to The Hunger Games, which could be a kiss of death since the last book (recently released) I read that was honored with that likeness was a supreme let down. But on the up side dystopian vampires seem to be hot at the moment. Either way I’m really excited about this one, and have it at the top of my TBR pile for this week. […]

Wednesday’s Watch -The Hunger Games Movie!!!!

March 21, 2012 by unwasted words

THE WORLD WILL BE WATCHING. I KNOW I WILL. WHAT ABOUT YOU? I admit I haven’t gotten my ticket yet, but I hardly ever pre-order movie tickets or go to those first late night screenings. I always opt for the early show Sunday mornings when everyone’s at church and the theater’s not too busy. Of course I hate having to wait that long, but my need to enjoy the movie always out weighs my impatience. I love the books and […]

Book of the Week!!! 01/23-01/30

January 24, 2012 by unwasted words

I just had to do Cinder for Book Of The Week. I can’t stop gushing about this book to anyone who will listen. This inventive retelling is only boasted by the spectacular timing of it’s debut, the muses of great media minds are smiling upon Marissa Meyers with the surge of fairy tale spinoffs in tv and movies. Fans of shows like Once Upon A Time and Grimm will find kindred reading in Meyer’s writings, with her next book based […]

An Inventive Retelling

January 20, 2012 by unwasted words

Cinder: Book One of the Lunar Chronicles  by Marissa Meyer Read by Rebecca Soler Marissa Meyer takes a classic standard like Cinderella and tricks it out, managing to merge nostalgia and a sci-fi spin, creating fairytale fusion with a high tech twist. Cinder is the foremost authority of all things mechanical in New Bejing. Fitting since she’s part robot. But in the modernistic technologically advanced unhappily ever after of Cinder’s world the only thing more reviled than the decrepit state […]
