Trickster's Choice (Daughter of the Lioness #1) by Tamora Pierce

read by Trini Alvarado

Good, solid YA fantasy by Tamora Pierce. Alianne, the daughter of Alanna the Lioness, is of an age to get serious about her life and pick a career--but her famous parents forbid her to embark on the one she has both talent and passion for: spying. Mishaps, predictably, ensue. A fun read, though if you haven’t already read some of the Tortall books, probably not the one you want to start with.

Of Love and Evil by Anne Rice

read by Paul Michael

A truly guilty pleasure. What can I say? I was sick in bed with a migraine for two days. I love Ms. Rice’s way of describing the world and the ridiculous dialog she puts in her characters’ mouths, but I can’t stand what she’s done to my favorite vampire characters. So I downloaded an audiobook from her high Christian era, no characters I once cared about to be further mangled, and I wasn’t disappointed. I got exactly what I wanted: purest cotton candy.
