In the third installment of our Ten Questions @ Book Expo America special event, we begin to sense a theme and learn what petrichor is. Featuring ten more authors including Tahere Mafi, Jill Shalvis, Alexandra Bracken, and Emily Giffin.

I chose this audiobook based solely on the narrator. I fell in love with Khristine Hvam when I first listened to her narration of Daughter and Smoke and Bone a few years ago and this might be the 5th or 6th book I’ve bought just to listen to her narrate.

Phew! I’m back from BEA and so exhausted from everything that went into trying to not miss a single second of the show.

Title: Never Sweeter
Author: Charlotte Stein
Rating: 2 Very conflicted Stars
Reviewer: Melinda
This book is in the New Adult genre, which is unusual for Stein, as she usually writes more straight forward adult romances. But I am a fan of NA and of Charlotte Stein so I was excited to read this one. To be honest I didn’t even read the synopsis because I like her writing so much – she writes so beautifully and with an erotic edge to it.

While the adult coloring book fad isn’t exactly new, that doesn’t stop us from getting excited about one of our favorite pastimes. Tiny books, large collections, literary based, abstract art, books for all ages, and some definitely not for kids–we love them all!
