Diana Peterfreund has posted the Killer Unicorns book trailer and I had to re-post it here because it is totally worth a viewing. I love the idea of a series trailer, rather than one for just a single book. Also, how awesome is it to have the trailer actually narrated by the author herself? That way the viewer gets a much more direct insight into the vast array of thoughts and research (and blood, sweat, and tears) that went into the novel. I, for one, am much more likely to pick the book up having been made privy (and in such a stylish way) to all of that. Enjoy!
Let's just lay our cards on the table, shall we, and agree that, on the whole, 2016 was an abysmal year.
And I'd just like to personally invite it not to let the door hit it on the way out.
This is me being as charitable as I can possibly be at this point.
That said, I want to send a glorious shout out to the wonderful books that have come out this past year, and to all the authors (and readers) who have not given in to the anxiety, depression, anger, and fear that I know so many of us have felt throughout the past twelve months (or more). It is the last day of the year, and I have poured all of my gratitude (and hope for a better one to come) into my annual list of my favorite reads of the year. Just 17 this year. Fewer than the past few years, which indicates a healthy dose of necessary rereading in this year that has been what it was, as well as the fact that I just didn't get to as many new releases.

Yes, I saw this on Diana's blog yesterday. I love it! Though I wish there was more DIANA!
ReplyDeleteOoh! A book trailer dedicated to a series is a great idea--and it's even better with the actual author in there! I love when I get to see the person who actually WROTE the books, hah. This was a great trailer :D
ReplyDeleteI hadn't seen this yet! Awesome! :)
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to get started on this series, and now that I see a girl who can handle a sword I can't wait
ReplyDeleteLenore, true. I got all excited when she was the first thing on there. Really liked this trailer.
ReplyDeletepirate, exactly. It just makes it so much more interesting and human.
Violet, sweet. Glad you enjoyed it. Have you read RAMPANT?
Emily, yep. Astrid is very strong.
I've never heard of this series before, but since I'm about to go back to school and be bombarded with academia, I think I might have to raid the local library to find it. These look fantastic! Thanks for the post!
