In this 54th episode, I review the book "The Fault in our Stars" by John Green. Listen to hear why it was an instant classic for me and falls into the class of books I know I'll read again over the years. Unlike most episodes, where I stick to strictly reviewing the book, I do a bit of rabbit trailing about why certain books seem to be my favorites—including The Fault in my Stars. My favorite genres are Sci-Fi and Fantasy adventures, but somehow my favorite books end up being coming of age literary dramas.

In this 56th episode, I review the book "The Way of Kings" by Brandon Sanderson. It's his first book in his epic fantasy series called The Stormlight Archive.
