I’m so thrilled to be the next stop for the Journey’s End blog tour! Rachel Hawkins was one of the very first authors I ever met and I remember being so nervous because I loved her Hex Hall books so much 🙂 I’ve been following her on twitter and reading her books for years.

Tales from the Shadowhunter Academy
My Thoughts: It’s not secret that I am a huge fan of Cassandra Clare’s Shadowhunter books. I’ve read and loved all the books out so far. I particularly loved learning more about Magnus Bane through The Bane Chronicles. I listened to the audiobook of each story and simply loved them! When I heard we would be hearing more… Read more »
Carry On
My Thoughts: I am such a huge fan of Fangirl. I listened to the audiobook and really loved the narration. I especially liked the Simon Snow bits at the beginnings of the chapters. Obviously I had to listen to Carry On as well. At least, I started it by listening. The narration is excellent and I highly… Read more »

My Thoughts: Doctor Who meets Sherlock? Yes, I will read that! And this is one of those rare cases where the comparison didn’t lessen my enjoyment of the book. I was totally caught up in Jackaby. I started this one on audiobook. I loved the narration and the pacing. It really drew me in to the… Read more »

The Accidental Highwayman (audiobook)
My Thoughts: I picked up an ARC of this book at BEA because it was talked up as similar to Stardust and The Princess Bride. Also, Brandon Sanderson called it a “swashbuckling adventure!” Clearly this book relates to my interests!! Yet it sat on my shelf until I discovered the audiobook was read by Steve West. Steve. West…. Read more »
As You Wish
I typically only review young adult books here. I know As You Wish: Inconceivable Tales from the Making of The Princess Bride was not published as such. However, I would have read the heck outta it as a teen so it totally fits 🙂 My Thoughts: First things first, I am a huge fan of The Princess Bride movie. I vividly remember… Read more »
A Mad, Wicked Folly
My Thoughts: So, I was the worlds worst blogger earlier this year and I’m still playing catch up. Even so, I cannot believe I didn’t review this one. It’s certainly one of my favorites of the year! I loved the book itself and the audiobook narration is spot on. In A Mad Wicked Folly we meet… Read more »

Part one is the intro to the recommender and the recommendation. Part two posts later in the month and recaps my thoughts on the book. Check out part one here. Thanks again… Read more »
