Book of the Week!!! 02/26-03/04

February 26, 2013 by unwasted words

There is something about the way Ally Carter writes that just makes me happy! It’s like when you’re on the phone and you can hear it when someone is smiling, you can just feel the euphoria in her words. Out of Sight, Out of Time is a departure for Carter’s usual light-hearted fair, taking things up a notch emotionally and letting her character’s maturity take center stage. Though parts of it gave me deja vu from that first Bourne movie, […]

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 […]

Wednesday’s Watch -The Fiery Heart

February 16, 2013 by unwasted words

On November 12, 2012 Richelle Mead announced that it was her birthday and gave us a present when she posted this: Bloodlines #4 is called The Fiery Heart. This’ll make a lot more sense when you read Indigo, which I’m starting to get super impatient for. Come on, February! Lots of big things happen in Indigo, and you romance fans are going to pass out. You know what also might make you pass out? This: The Fiery Heart is going to be […]

Friday’s First Listen -The Indigo Spell

February 15, 2013 by unwasted words

BY Richelle Mead NARRATOR Emily Shaffer LENGTH 11 hours 53 mins PUBLISHER Penguin Audio RELEASE 02/12/13 Following this week’s theme we have a clip from The Indigo Spell. Richelle Mead has written another number one in my opinion. I love the building romance, conflict and magical abilities. Sidney’s character is growing and filling in amazingly. Adrian is practically perfect, aside from the smoking, drinking, and potential insanity. Of course Mead ends things as she always does, leaving us wanting more. I hope you enjoy this week’s clip. This is […]

Book of the Week!!! REDUX 02/12-02/18

February 12, 2013 by unwasted words

In honor of everyone’s love of Richelle Mead’s current YA series, I’m bringing this one back. Personally, I adore Bloodlines. Which is why, when I started this blog around the time this spinoff debuted, it had to be my very first Book of the Week. The audiobook of Bloodlines was in heavy rotation on my iPod for months. Plus who doesn’t love Mead’s unique take on witches and vampires, her rakishly complex leading man and Election-esque Type-A heroine, who manages to […]

Friday’s First Listen -Etiquette & Espionage

February 8, 2013 by unwasted words

BY Gail Carriger NARRATOR Moira Quirk LENGTH 08 hours 55 mins PUBLISHER Hachette Audio RELEASE 02/05/13 I just finished listening to Etiquette & Espionage and loved it! Carriger mixes some of my favorite elements together, the whole historical/period/steampunk aspect, boarding school setting, supernaturals, and espionage with a unique twist. Moira Quirk voiced a splendid narration. I especially liked her performance of Bunson’s alarm. The lovely folks at Hachette Audio provided a nice clip for us, and I also included the book trailer below the summary section. Enjoy! Summary It’s one […]
