A long-awaited (for me) review of This Song Will Save Your Life by Leila Sales.

New Review Books:


Thanks, Harlequin Teen. 

When I read that Michelle Rowan was going to revamp her July 2008 adult novel as YA, of course I went out and read the original!  I'm excited to compare them!

What's new with you? Let me know in comments and leave me a link so I can visit you back. One of my weekend goals is catching up on comments!

      As far as I can remember, they are pretty similar but the adult version is rated R while the YA version is more PG-13...

    Funny....I got an e-arc of Endless Knight. So I'm very excited to be reading that next. Countdown looks fantastic. Come visit me as well.

    Oh I didn't know Rowan was doing that-interested to see how it turns out. My weekend, as I just shared, is about catching up on commenting since I had basically no time on Thursday and Friday. I probably need to write around 100 comments on these two days plus I'd like to read 4 books if possible (or at least 3.) I need more time!

    How was the original one? I'm now tempted to go out and grab it before the YA version comes out.

      I read the original back in the spring, but they are pretty similar, except the adult version is way steamier….

    I'm hungry and really craving something fatty...on a book side, I'll be doing the YA Scavenger Hunt this year. Woot!

    I just finished Countdown yesterday. Really enjoyed it. I had no idea that it was a revamp of an adult novel until I read the acknowledgements. I can't wait to see you compare the two. And I reviewed The Dream Thieves last week too! :) Great week!

    Countdown looks like an interesting book, it's been a while since I've started a new dystopian series. I feel like I'm that last lonely person who hasn't read The Raven Boys yet haha. Hope you have a great week!

    I read the new Countdown but not the original. I'd be interested in reading a comparison post to see what changes were made.
