Question

Unexpected Books: Which books did you have reservations about reading, but ended up loving once you did?

Answer

Cinder by Marissa Meyer

I’ve probably said a million times that I was not too excited pre-release about the idea of cyborgs and “Cinderella” getting mashed together.  But this book is amazing! It is exciting, creative, and very human.  I’m sure there aren’t too many people I have to convince, though, since Cinder seems to be well-loved.  Look for my official review Sept. 8.

Graceling by Kristin Cashore

I never had anything particular against this book; I was just never intrigued by it.  Even after seeing reviews on several blogs, all I really knew was that it was a fantasy.  And even though fantasy is my favorite genre, that fact alone was not going to inspire me to read it.  The one good thing about waiting so long?  I got to read all three books in a row, since they had all been released!  I will now try reading just about anything Cashore writes.  Review scheduled for Oct. 1.
