    I love the cover of this book, but haven't been able to get past the first page!
    How are you finding it?

    Thanks for putting your post up nice and early so those of us on the other side of the world can feel like we're not joining in Saturday 56 instead!

    I almost chose Scarlet for my post this week. I really liked Cinder, but was less enchanted by the next one.

    I really enjoyed Cinder and the other Lunar Chronicles books too. Of course two of my favorite sorts of books are science fiction and fairy tale retellings. I hope you love Cinder too. Happy reading!
