Having had zero time lately for full-on reviews, I decided to give you, dear readers, a quick reading update in the form of book recipes:
Crewel -- by Gennifer Albin
Spin:
1 thread Mad Men
2 skeins Margaret Atwood's Handmaid's Tale
A snippet of quiet determination
Weave together in a tapestry of intrigue and subversion, where young women have power over the very fabric of the world ... but not over their own lives.
Similar Warps & Wefts: Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood, Wither by Lauren DeStefano, Bitterblue by Kristin Cashore, Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi
Glow -- by Amy Kathleen Ryan
Synthesize:
2 at-odds starships en route to a new planet
1 vial of genetically induced infertility
A questioning of religiosity and reproductive ethics
Add: A healthy dose of action, a heroine questioning her "match," and a dash of agrarian, a dot of art.
Related Flavors: Across the Universe, by Beth Revis, Divergent by Veronica Roth
Similar Themes: Bumped, by Megan McCafferty, Wither by Lauren DeStefano, Matched by Allie Condie
Scarlet -- Marissa Meyer
Pack in a Basket:
Red hooded sweatshirt
Farm goods to trade
Grandma's Lunar secrets
Brainwashing skills
Warning: This combination may attract Wolf and/or Malcolm Reynolds-esque Captain -- both of which will inevitably make life more complicated for you.
Similarly Tasty Snacks: Cinder by Marissa Meyer ( ...you have read this already, yes??), Sisters Red by Jackson Pearce, Paranormalcy by Kiersten White, Fire by Kristin Cashore
Have you read any of these? What were your thoughts?
Any other ingredients to toss in the review mix?
Any other book recommendations with similar flavors to these?
