Bout of Books 11.0 DAY THREE

8/21/2014

1 Comment

 
I didn't do much reading yesterday. I was in a bad headspace and couldn't focus. I got a few pages in to "The Devil Stood Up" and it's going to be interesting. 

My copy of "The Anything Box" arrived yesterday! It's funny to see "75 cents" on the cover when I actually paid like $7 for it. That's what happens when books go out of print, y'all. SO READ READ READ. Books tend to go out of print when demand goes down!

That book was my introduction into the world of Sci-Fi. I was given a brown bag FULL of random books and several were old school sci-fi books like that one. (Lots of Zenna Henderson and Ray Bradbury) 

So if you get a chance, pick up some of her work. You may have to order it. But I SWEAR it's worth it. "The Anything Box" and "Holding Wonder" are short story collections. Some are really freaky! It's great! 

Okay, moving on! 

Because I don't have a lot of updates I'll do a quick recommendation post! This was an official Bout of Books Challenge as well. 

And you all know I love giving recommendations! 

If you liked Alice In Zombieland by Gena Showalter

Then you would probably enjoy Dollhouse by Anya Allyn

They're both in the YA genre. Each features a female protagonist that doubles as a strong heroine. There's enough supernatural/fantasy to qualify as paranormal but not so much that it's full of world building explanations. 

I loved both. They aren't so similar that it's boring, no worries! 

Until tomorrow! READ.
