Princess Alethea’s new book reviews are now up at Orson Scott Card’s Intergalactic Medicine Show. This month I discuss:
Title: Quatrain
Author: Sharon Shinn
EAN: 9780441017584
My friend Gayle held this book tight to her chest on the day she gave it to me. “I know you really like Sharon Shinn,” she said, “but I have to say, it’s a bit creepy how much you look like this girl on the cover.” Beyond the cover, however, four goodies lay in store like a Whitman’s chocolate sampler for any fan of Sharon Shinn…
Title: Catching Fire
Author: Suzanne Collins
EAN: 9780439023498
I got Hunger Games and Catching Fire at the same time. I polished off Hunger Games — the first novel of Collins’ trilogy — in one sitting. I allowed myself to stay up until 3 a.m. on a school night just to get to the end. I waited almost a whole week before starting Catching Fire, and I forced myself to read only one part at a time (there are three parts) to space it out a bit (and so I wouldn’t yawn all the way through work the next day). As folks who follow me on Twitter will attest, I finished it right around 3 a.m. as well on that third day…
Those are certainly your eyes looking out at me from that book cover. Eerie!
And I have the audio book of CATCHING FIRE loaded on my iPod for a road trip I’ll be taking… Tomorrow!
I like your review style, Princess. Thanks for sharing. =)
Oh, let me know how the audio is! I wanted to listen, but I couldn’t wait for it. 🙂
Wow, that does look eerily like you. I’m gonna go read this one … probably reread the Samaria books too.
Oh yeah, this made me want to reread Jovah’s Angel in the worst way. AGAIN.
