TELL ME TUESDAY #332 - Last. Now. Next.

LAST. NOW. NEXT.

NUMBER THREE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-TWO

TELL ME TUESDAY is a floating feature, depending on your reading style, where you tell us what you read last, what you are reading now, what you will be reading next from your tbr pile, and why. I am curious why people read what they read, so tell me!

FANTASY

WIZARD OF OZ RETELLING

Published 2006 - Own Audio & Hardcover

Oh how I loved this book! The vocabulary and phrasing was luxurious, and the story was deep, thoughtful and intriguing. There was a short interview with Maguire at the end of the audiobook where he had to explain The Wicked Years books were Adult Fiction, and how he got a lot of grief for this book being too intellectually dense and political. I loved this title so much I had to go on to A Lion Among Men right away. Much to my dismay, either he, or the editor took into consideration the negative feedback, and this book is much simpler in vocabulary and description; and I hate everyone who thinks all Fantasy stories should read like Young Adult.

Many people seemed not to like the author's narration of Son of a Witch, but I like Maguire's narration better than this one.

CITY WATCH STORY ARC #1

FANTASY - HUMOR

Published 1989 - Own Ebook and Hardcover

Yes! We are continuing on with the TURTLE RECALL CHALLENGE, hosted by A Dance With Books. My goal, once again, is to read one Discworld book a month. I chose to read this title for January, instead of continuing on with the Death story arc, because of it being January Dragon Daze here in the library for the third year.
