This month’s Book of the Month is an exciting book filled with adventure! You won’t want to miss this! Graceling is an amazing story set in another world, in another time. Make sure to read the book in the month of September… we will do a show at the end of the month all about it, and we will want to know what you thought of the book!
To learn more about the book and author, check out the Graceling website! You can even see a book trailer!
This is my next book to read after I finish the one I’m on. Hoping she sets the world up as well as Ms. Snyder does with the Study series. Whoot Whoot first comment?
O i LOOOVVEd this book!
Oh! That was one of the books I read this summer! It’s really really good! I had a hard time putting it down. The world is wonderfully built and very vivid. It’s very easy to fall in love with the characters too! I definitely recommend it. 🙂
I just finshed it. I fell in love with Po. He is confident, mentally strong, trustworthy and everything I would want in a Graceling Man. The only problem I seem have is the ending, it left me asking questions. Am I alone??
seems good so I think I might take a look into that…

I just finished this book in 2 days, I couldn’t put it down! I loved this book, it was exciting and very vivid. I fell in love with the characters. It had me in tears a few times…sad and happy ones lol. I can’t wait to read Fire and am looking forward to read the next one after that once it’s finished. Read this book, it’s amazing!
This is so funny I just got this book before they said it was the book of the month and loved it sooooo much. Po is so cute. Oh Po. (Smile/blush) I know I’m weird. But hes so nice, this is the best book since I read Twilight. =)
I just finished the book and loved it. I liked the fact that there was adventure, love, bad guys to defeat. the fact that they were seperated and then found each other and had to overcome a bad situation was great. Loved it. I hope she has more for us.
This book was on my reading list. So glad that you now have it as book of the month, it gave me a reason to go out and buy it. Loving it so far and have already ordered the sequel “Fire”.
Love your recommendations. Keep them coming please, you haven’t let me down yet!
Graceling just sucks you in…and won’t let you go until you have completely devoured the book. I love the fact that Cashore has this incredicably strong female character–that still has questions–and is unsure of herself. Po is her perfect counterpart to balance it all out!.. I love it… I love the fact that the “companion” book–that is coming out in October.. will shed some light on the ‘before’ Katsa…but Book #3— will be from Bitterblue’s point of view–with Katsa and Po coming in… I CAN’T WAIT!…
I cannot thank you enough for your Books of the month… I have not been disappointed with any of your recommendations. They are fantastic so you can bet that I will be reading anything and everything you recommend. I might even be as bold to read the Host which I have been avoiding because I’m not ready for Stephanie Meyer to move on to other projects.
I read this book last year and really enjoyed it. Po is a great character and Katsa’s journey across the mountain was amazing. Thanks for all of your book recommendations. I have enjoyed reading each of them. And I love the podcast.
For people that are interested in getting signed copies of her books, but couldn’t see her on tour–there is a note on Kristin’s blog that says you can write to her hometown bookstore and they will send you an autographed copy of either Graceling or Fire. I ordered copies for myself and my sisters (for Christmas). I just gave them our names and she stopped in and autographed them with personalized messages. It only cost the price of the books plus $5.00 shipping. Pretty cool I think ; )
