Kate McMurry Erin, I'm so glad you enjoyed this book. I absolutely adored it, and I don't normally like sword and sorcery.


message 2: by Erin (new)

Erin Yeah, it was great! And it’s nice to know that even readers who aren’t into this genre usually still liked it a lot!


message 3: by Kate (new)

Kate McMurry Exactly. That's a huge compliment to the author.

Kate McMurry Erin, I'm glad you and your daughter enjoyed your revisit of this terrific story in audio. I'm about ready to read it again myself for the third time. I think this is one of the best thing JR ever wrote. And she's written a lot of books I've enjoyed. I like her YA books the best. Has your daughter read her YA fantasy series about the unfair godmother?


message 5: by Erin (new)

Erin No, she hasn’t. She maintains that she doesn’t like fantasy elements (I think she’s nuts). I was expanding her horizons by picking this novel for us. To my delight, she really enjoyed it! Maybe I’ll suggest the unfair godmother books to her. (I assume they have a bit of magic in them.) 😁

Kate McMurry Yes some magic and lots of humor. :)

One of my favorite JR YA books that's a contemporary romcom that your daughter might like is Fame, Glory, and Other Things on My To-do List. I found it hilarious and I've read it many times over the years.

Erin Ooooh, thanks for the rec! I’ve had my eye on that book for a while. It’s time to move it to the top of my TBR pile!

Kate McMurry You might also like Just One Wish. I would call it a dramedy because it's got a family issue that's quite sad, but a huge part of the book in the relationship of the FMC with her romantic interest is utterly hilarious and wonderful. As always with this author, it is G-rated and suitable for all ages.


message 9: by Erin (new)

Erin You’re right, I think my daughter might really like that one! Good idea!


message 10: by Kate (new)

Kate McMurry You might want to read it first because the ending is bittersweet for the family issue to make sure it won't make her too sad. It's HEA for the romance though or I guess YA is technically always HFN.
