A to Z April - W: Werewolves and Witches


There are a lot of types of things for W that I enjoy reading.  And so I had to choose two to talk about today, werewolves and witches.  I'm going to give you 4 examples of my favorites of each type below.

Werewolves:

1.

Around the time I really got into Dean Koontz, I also found Robert R. McCammon.  And this is one of the first books of his that I read, and I really liked it.  Werewolves, World War 2, together makes an interesting story.

2.

Another of my favorite authors, Maggie Stiefvater, also wrote a series about werewolves, The Wolves of Mercy Falls.  And now she's putting out another book in a series that we all thought was finished, and I'm very excited to read it.

3.

This is a series I started when I got a box of ARCs that included this one.  I love this original cover, but the newer cover also was good.  Andrea Cremer is also now a favorite author of mine.

4.

Stephen King's version of the werewolf was also made into a movie called Silver Bullet, and I of course loved it because it starred one of my favorite actors as a teenager, Corey Haim.

Witches:

1.

The Harry Potter series is the best in this category, I don't care what anyone says. The stories are funny, sad, adventurous, edge of your seat.  They will always win hands down in my opinion.

2.

I first learned of Tessa Gratton when she just happened to be at a signing event with Maggie Stiefvater.  I had to buy this book and get her to sign it, and I am now a huge fan of Tessa Gratton as well.

3.

I love this book, need to read on in the series, can't believe I haven't gotten farther than this yet.

4.

I feel like I read and loved this in high school.  After the debacle, in my opinion, that the tv show made from The Vampire Diaries books was, I didn't even bother to try to watch this when they tried to start a tv show.  This one I loved and re-read more than the vampire series, so really couldn't stand to see it ruined.

Now I could again have included the Twilight series with werewolves, but I chose not to.  The Sookie Stackhouse  series could fit under both werewolves and witches.  And even Harry Potter includes werewolves.
