Musing Mondays #8

This meme is hosted by Should be Reading.

Every week a new 'musing' question is posted by the host for all participants to answer in their own posts.

This week's musing is:

Have you ever found a book out of the blue, read it, and then had it be surprisingly good — one that stuck with you for years? If so, what book was it?
Buy from:
The Book Depository
(pre-order new edition)
Amazon UK
Amazon US
Waterstones
 Back when Pen to Paper was still a fledgling blog, I had just signed up for Netgalley, and this was the first book I ever requested. I was literally just looking through the recent titles, and I stumbled across it and thought it looked fairly good - like my kind of thing - so hopefully it would be good.
I became absolutely addicted to it!
My first author interview for the blog was also Jus Accardo, author of this book (and you can read that interview HERE). She's a really wonderful lady, so it's worth a read (both interview and the book of course).
This is a really great, unique, YA Paranormal/Fantasy novel, and I really recommend it to anyone who is a fan of these genres, but urge others to try it as well.

The second in the series, Toxic, will be out in the Summer and I can't wait to read it. I should be getting a review copy of it from the publishers again, along with a copy of the short story, Untouched, which is published in around May, I think. Definitely keep your eyes peeled for them! You won't be disappointed!

I'm going to ask my students if they've read the books you mentioned. Touch sounds really interesting.

This sounds like a great one. Never heard of it, but I'm adding it to my TBR pile.

Love your answer!

I haven't read Touch, but now I'm intrigued!! My first NetGalley pick was Cinder - and although I didn't get an author-interview, I still feel pretty possessive of it. :-D

We Wish to Inform You That Tomorrow We Will Be Killed with Our Families by Philip Gourevitch

I noticed the book shelved at the library and was intrigued by the title
