This was better than the previous books, although she was back to having the potential for multiple boyfriends again. Geez.
I have a feeling that this book is going to be SO AWESOME and SO HORRIBLE at the same time.
And it was. I feel like sending it around to all my band geek friends so that they can appreciate it too.

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

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.

This was a 4-4.5 star book for me.
Are you feeling a bit of a void now that the Twilight series ended? Are you a little tired of vampires but still want something supernatural? Did you want to read a teen book set in Maine? Have you ever wanted to know the names of lots of phobias?
Need will fulfill all of those for you. Instead of vamps, it has pixies and shapeshifters. The main character, Zara, recites phobia names to herself as a way of calming herself down. There are definitely some similarities to the Twilight series. Zara, to me, is only a little more kickass than Bella. She is torn between two sexy high schoolers: Nick and Ian. And she saves the day in the end.
This felt more like a horror story to me than Twilight did too. With Twilight, I never got up to close the curtains. I didn't worry that someone was staring at me. I got a better sense of that with this book.
