This week's question:

What book have you read recently that has surprised you (good or bad!), or that has been outside your normal reading genre?

Our Answer:

Suzanne:
Annie's Song by Catherine Anderson really surprised me, I wasnt sure I would like it as te blurb sounded like it might be a very angsty read, but instead it was a really great book, which although had some tear jerking moments was mostly very uplifting.

Francesca:
I have to go with Wicked as they Come by Delilah S. Dawson.  This is not normally what I go for since it's a bit of a steampunk/urban fantasy/paranormal romance mix but that's not the only thing worth mentioning about this book.  This book surprised me.  Definietely in a good way since it was totally unexpected that I was completely glued to the pages.  But more than that is the originality of the storyline and the world Ms. Dawson created.  Truly a unique book, series, storyteller!

Angela:
There's actually a few books that shocked the hell out of me, but for this post I will pick Lyon's bride by Cathy Maxwell and Fifty Shames of Earl Grey.  Let me tell you why.  With Lyon's bride, I took on the book blindsithedly, and pretty much judged it by it's cover.  I thought the cover did not do justice to the writing and plot of the book. *whispering* I didn't like the cover much.  And for Fifty Shames of Earl Grey, well, I never thought a parody would be worth my time.  I actually thought it could be offensive for *whispering again* my love for Christian Grey.  But it wasn't and it was a good fun read. Lesson learned.

Now it's your turn!
