Something I’m enjoying about being back in the library again, is recommending books and book series to my patrons, be they Year 12s or Preppies. And I’ve recommended several books to staff members too, over the past few weeks!
And seeing as I’m trying to recommend books from a collection I’m unfamiliar with, it behooves me to get my speed-reader on, and get familiar with it!
And a title I was rather impressed by, the last week: Cinder, book 1 of The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer.
Think Cinderella with a slice of James Cameron’s Alita and set several centuries into Earth’s future. And Cinderella doesn’t lose just her shoe, but her whole foot (did I mention she’s a cyborg?)… I also felt there were hints of Jay Kristofer’s Lifelike series in there too.
An interesting read; I’m hoping the rest of the series lives up to the premise!
And until next week, happy reading yourself, dear Reader!
