pastryqueenI was in the mood for a fantasy read, so I opted for the audiobook Hunted by Meagan Spooner. I've wanted to read the book for years but haven't gotten around to it. I'm only two hours into this one but so far it's good. Yeva is a great subversion of the Beauty character, and I love that her relationships with her sisters are positive and loving - so far, anyhow.
Once I'm finished with my audiobook, I think I'm finally going to bite the bullet and pick up the copy of The Chemist by Stephenie Meyer. Why I have the book, I'm not sure but I had a dream where I started reading the book, and I'm taking that as a sign. I read the first book in the Twilight series a long time ago, and it was...fine. I didn't hate it--it takes a lot for me to dislike a book; the only books I've openly added to my "hated it" shelf on Goodreads is The Lovely Bones and My Sister's Keeper because I hate them so passionately--but the rest of the series sounded awful and I steered clear of it. I think I saw this one in Target, read the summary, and just considered, "Well, every author deserves a second chance, and I'm in the mood for fiction where I don't have to think too hard, so why not?" I may or may not regret this, but people whose literary opinions I value on Goodreads gave it a good rating? So, we'll see what happens.
