I'd like to think that Mundie Moms have lots of moments of repose in their day but the truth is we simply don't have that luxury. But, what we have are snippets of time -- maybe a lunch hour, a moment between carpools, an hour at the end of a working day -- and how do we spend it? Why, reading and dreaming, of course.
So for today's Author Appreciation Week post, we'd like to thank the authors who make our dreams even more delightful and exciting.
Lisa McMann - You can't say the word "dream" without thinking of Lisa and her Dreamcatcher trilogy. She brought to us a premise so strong that we felt like we were inside Janie's head in one of those dreams. And she brought us Cabel. I won't say anything more. Except, read them, if you haven't. The last book, GONE, has the most credible ending to a series I've ever read.
Becca Fitzpatrick - Hush, Hush was so vibrant in its mythology. I remember reading it and feeling this incredible rush of excitement as I flipped pages until I got to the very end. Around the Mundie Moms' Forum, we just whisper the word, "Patch" and we all know what that means. One hot boy.
Lauren Kate - I have to admit that unlike other Mundie Moms, I literally just finished reading FALLEN and I can honestly say that there are only a few love triangles out there that match the sheer power of the one Lauren wrote. I read the ending, huddled in a corner of the couch, turning pages and shaking my head whispering, "Cam, Daniel, Daniel, Cam...".
Carrie Ryan - Here on Mundie Moms, we just love Carrie because she tore us away from our beloved Shadowhunters and Downworlders and introduced us to her explosive new world filled with the Unconsecrated. She made us love zombies. I know, we didn't think it would be possible. If you haven't picked up the New York Times bestseller, Forest of the Hands and Teeth and it's just released sequel, The Dead-Tossed Waves you are truly missing out on a fantastic series.
We're having so much fun doing these posts but we need to take a moment to thank Heidi R. Kling for her original idea to do an Author Appreciation Week. Thank you Heidi and we can hardly wait for SEA's release on June 10th.
