And I definitely think my desire for plot-driven is why I love fantasy and dystopian YA so much. :) Carrie Roerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12518265770331320768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1577652481725973009.post-21298001425113548272016-04-20T12:39:37.979-04:002016-04-20T12:39:37.979-04:00I agree that you would probably enjoy The Husband&...I agree that you would probably enjoy The Husband's Secret - I've only read 3 of her books (BLL, What Alice Forgot & The Husband's Secret), and I liked them all (What Alice Forgot was my favourite though) :) <br />I loved The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry but I can completely understand what you are saying about desiring plot-driven books. Maybe that's why you like The Lunar Chronicles so much. I felt the same way about them when I read them - I had not felt that intensely about a series since HP either. What a great reading month you had!!Heather @ The Maritime Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14334570091224362628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1577652481725973009.post-56894274345244363882016-04-16T13:36:23.019-04:002016-04-16T13:36:23.019-04:00Ok, I have reserved that one.

Couldn't get into the Lunar Chronicles to save my life! But I MUST read A.D. 33 just on the strength of your recommendation. In fact, I reserved it in my library before I finished your post. I LOVE what I refer to as, Biblical fiction but didn't know about this one.

I've really enjoyed her other titles - The Husband's Secret and Big Little Lies were my favourites. It's been fun to see her writing evolve after I went back and read some of her earlier books. <br /><br />I could not get into the Lunar Chronicles even though I really wanted to, I love fairy tales twists. But I did really enjoy The Storied Life of AJ Fikry, I was in the mood for a quiet memoir style book. I'm the same with the Mitford books, it has to be the right time and place and mood otherwise I can not get into them. Breannehttp://www.thisvintagemoment.comnoreply@blogger.com
