And now I think I need to reread Wither (and then continue with the rest of the series) because of your great love for it. I think I was iffy on it, but I may not have been in the right mood. And I haven't read any Kagawa. EEK!<br /><br />Ooohhh I love Erin Morganstern! Another great addition because that book is amazinggg. I really hope she has a new book soon AND that it's just as awesome!<br /><br />I have not read anything by Robert Goolrick, although I have seen his books before. Glad to get your recommendation - I'll definitely be looking into them now!Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05058757489545239601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7453643548383938123.post-52159474999200913182013-03-03T23:56:41.117-05:002013-03-03T23:56:41.117-05:00Yay!

It's not that I don't want to read it and don't think I'll enjoy it - more that I need to be in the right frame of mind before diving in. I think my expectations were off when I first picked it up, and that kept me from loving it.Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05058757489545239601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7453643548383938123.post-87924735730023109252013-03-03T23:55:15.711-05:002013-03-03T23:55:15.711-05:00Glad you love Marchetta and Mafi, too!Glad you love Marchetta and Mafi, too!Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05058757489545239601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7453643548383938123.post-87223191555198626422013-03-03T23:54:52.503-05:002013-03-03T23:54:52.503-05:00You really should!

EEK. I totally agree with the incomparable T Mafi and the fabulous V Rossi. I would like to throw in (since I didn't make a list) that I am auto- for Julia Kagawa and Lauren DeStefano. I do own all of the HP books but I don't have Casual Vacancy, so I'm almost auto- on her, right? I also would say Erin Morganstern as well based on ONE BOOK because I've spent more time listening to/reading that book than is healthy. <br /><br />An adult fiction for you? Robert Goolrick. Have you read him? Historical fiction with those doomed romances that I love oh-so-much. His latest is Heading Out to Wonderful and the one before it is A Reliable Wife. I LOVE HIS BOOKS. Like, hug the books and sleep with them beside my bed, love his books. They break my heart and make me smile and cry and just everything. His ability to paint a picture of the setting - both time and place, I think - is what sold me on him. Fan for life.
