BBAW - Book Recommendations


I know that I read a lot of books because of recommendations from bloggers, but I was having a really hard time thinking about something that I loved that I wanted to specifically talk about. Then, it dawned on me! Fables! I have read the entire series this year, so I think it is safe to say I love it. I have been hearing about it forever, but finally decided to take the chance on it this year. This is a group effort for getting me to read it, too. I credit the discovery of the series first with Heather. She has been talking about it as long as I have been reading her blog. I remember reading posts about it a couple years ago and thinking I needed to give the series a try, but I never did until this year.

I can also thank Nymeth, Chris, Debi, and Carl for introducing me to this series and contributing to me finally reading it! Now, I have to wait until next year for a new one, so in the meantime I have started work on Jack of Fables. There is also a novel based on the series out in October which I plan to read.

So, thanks especially to Heather, but also to all the other bloggers that have lead to me taking a chance on this series! I love it!

  2. I prefer stand alones. Getting into a series is not my cup of tea!

    BBAW: Which book blogger is responsible for this?

Thanks for stopping by and commenting!

I am so sorry, but I turned anonymous commenting off. I have had it from the very beginning, but that is how the spam is getting by my spam filter at the moment. If it is a big deal I will turn it back on and moderate all comments. I also changed moderation from older than 14 days to older than 7.
