Are you a fan of soap operas? Cheesy teen romance? You might like this book! My favorite part of the book is this:

(to be continued, as I do not have the book with me. oops)

First of all, I think I would have enjoyed my experience a lot more if I had an audio version of it that didn't skip.
Secondly, if I had known that it took place in (a fictionalized) medieval Mongolia, I also would have enjoyed this book a lot more. Because I, for no reason in particular, love Mongolia.
Third, this was much better than the other Shannon Hale book I read, Austenland

Be that as it may, this is actually the first audio book where I took the CD from my car into my house because I was so engrossed in the story that I could not bring myself to turn off my car and end it.

A retelling of a lesser known Grimm's Fairy Tale, this is the story of Dashti and Lady Sauron, their time in the tower, and so much more. I really liked it, although with Diary of a Wimpy Kid in the running, I doubt it will win.

I didn't think I would like this book initially, since it is written as a series of free verse poetry. It was, however, quite wonderful.

For some reason this book hasn't been checked out in five years from my library. I don't know why. I mean, the main character's name is Samantha, called Sam, which I of course think is the best name in the world. Okay, so she makes up stories and bad things happen because of it, and I'm not super impressed with the pictures.

This book is awesome! There are big color photographs of wolfsnails, and for those of you with boys who like things that are slightly disgusting, there are pictures of the wolfsnail eating it's prey. Lovely!
