Hi Y’all! It is November and I am bringing back the Month of Thanks. I had so much fun doing this last year that I thought I would recycle the program again this year. Each day I will highlight one book from 2013 that really stuck with me and one blogger (and their awesomeness) that I am thankful for! These are not in any particular order and by no means is 30 going to cover everyone (r book) that I love.
Listened for Fun (Audible)

First Thought when Finished: This was a fantastic story that I was totally surprised I liked so much!
Story Talk:
“Even in the Future the Story Begins with Once Upon a Time.”― Marissa Meyer, Cinder
Why I Loved Cinder: I named my dog after her because she is spunky and a brilliant YA leading lady. I think this will probably be the only YA on my 2013 list. I enjoyed every minute of it!

What I like best about Fangs, Wands, and Fairy Dust: Stephanie makes me smile daily!
What I *heart* about Fangs, Wands, and Fairy Dust: Here is what you need to know aka the deets: Stephanie reads good books! I totally will pick up a book on her recommendation and she is always finding the gems I miss. Prime example: HOW TO MARRY A HIGHLANDER by Katharine Ashe <— how did I miss a book with a guy in a kilt and no shirt on. I do not miss highlanders often and she found me one! Excuse me while I go stare at the cover a little longer!
Why you should follow Fangs, Wands, and Fairy Dust: She is one of go-to people for all things romance! She reads Paranormal, Smexy, Historical, Sci-fi, and a spattering of other things. She also has great giveaways! She is currently in the middle of a move to wordpress and rumor has it she will have a follow the wordpress blog giveaway soon. You don’t want to miss that!
Go check out Fangs, Wands, & Fairy Dust
During her non-reading time you can find her hanging with her rescue furr children named after book characters: Lizzie a beautiful cattle dog mix (Pound Pup), Cinder a beautiful Shep/Pitt mix (Pound Pup), and Minerva a beautiful Shep/Pitt mix (Foster Fail). Gathering with friends and family, attending conventions, watching movies/tv shows, rooting for the 49rs, and crocheting.

Marissa Meyer is genius and the narrator ROCKS! Where can we bang someone on the head and steal their ARC of Cress?
Awesomesauce blogger recommending great books about men in kilts….Lass, I’m headed over there to check her out.
Cinder looks awesome and Fangs, Wands & Fairy Dust sounds like an amazing blog 🙂 Thanks for sharing Felicia!
Well, she is a Suzanne Johnson/Susannah Sandlin fan, so I am going to follow her for a while to see if our tastes match.
I think it’s awesome that you named your dog after Cinder! I loved that book. Such a great play off of Cinderella.
I’m ashame to admit that Cinder has been collecting dust on my Ipod, I have no idea why I haven’t listened to it. It reminds me of The Titatanic(movie)when it first came out, I refuesed to go see it…LOL so finally after a few years of its release I saw it, and I felt head over heels over it 🙂 Maybe that will happen with Cinder.
I agree, Fangs Wands & Fairy Dust is a great blog.
I am loving the Lunar series and Cinder rocked!
I need Cress now! I am in the mood for the next in the series. 🙂
I absolutely adored Cinder, too. Wasn’t expecting to like it so much, either. And it’s always good when a blogger makes recommendations that just seem to fit!
I was so shocked–it actually combined two of my least favorite genres and then kicked ass! 🙂 🙂
Will go have a look 🙂
She actually reads kind of like you do 🙂 She is one of those bloggers that often posts books that were never on my radar.
That’s an awesome rating for a YA! I do love the name.
YA/Steampunk combo—I was shocked I loved it too!
