Friday’s First Listen -Scarlet

February 23, 2013 by unwasted words

BY Marissa Meyer NARRATOR Rebecca Soler LENGTH 11 hours 19 mins PUBLISHER Macmillan Audio RELEASE 02/05/13 Thank you Macmillan Audio for providing this week’s clip! As promised here’s a taste of Marissa Meyer’s Sci-Fi fairy tale series. Scarlet is the second installment of The Lunar Chronicles. Normally I don’t like overly drawn out series, normally I would think a book that’s part Star Wars part Grimm Fairy Tales with a few dystopian elements and a little high fantasy political drama would be way too many ideas. But this […]

Loads of Action & Twists, None of The Long Recaps

February 29, 2012 by unwasted words

By A Thread by Jennifer Estep The aftermath begins with a nice quiet getaway where no one’s trying to assassinate the assassin. At least, that was the idea. Retirement shouldn’t be so much work, especially after you kill the reining kingpin of the local criminal underworld. But infamy has it’s irony, since doing the deed has made the autruistic assassin Ashville’s biggest attraction. Miscreants and minions alike are all vying for position in the villainous vortex that Mab Monroe’s death created. And […]

A Perfect Book

February 29, 2012 by unwasted words

A Perfect Blood by Kim Harrison read by Marguerite Gavin Being classified as dead, with a newly acknowledged demon status, and magically neutered like a dog, doesn’t suck nearly as much as having to deal with the frustratingly idiotic bureaucracy of the DMV. Rachel Morgan isn’t having a very good life, or afterlife according to the governmental powers that be. But when a low level department minion offers Rachel a case, she quickly finds herself entangled in the plans of a domestic […]

Book of the Week!!! 01/30-02/06

January 30, 2012 by unwasted words

I’m not sure what first lead me to this series. Maybe it was the premise, since the Adult paranormal fiction community hasn’t be over run with Grimm Reapers yet. Or it could have been the appeal of narrator Lorelei King voicing the audiobooks. But something snagged my interest, and I’m glad it did. I immediately fell in love with this series. It’s witty, smart, has an interesting cast and backstory. Second Grave on the Left put a smile on my […]

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 […]
