I kept seeing people talk about The Fourth Wing everywhere, and I decided that if I came across it at some point that I’d just see what all the fuss was about.

I was browsing Libby recently for audiobooks available now, and I saw what I thought I had remembered was the title. What I ended up checking out was called The Four Winds. I thought, great, this will be fine to listen to while I do chores and I can evaluate it for myself.

A couple hours in, I was like, wait a minute? Weren’t there supposed to be dragons in this? I don’t see how dragons will show up in Dust Bowl-era Texas. I realized my mistake, but I was invested at this point and ended up really liking the book.

Has something like this happened to you? What were the books and the outcome?

    I am a reference blood banker. I recommended a book called Blood Will Tell to my boss about the theory that King Henry VIII’s infertility problems stemmed from him having the Kell antigen and HDFN (very related to what we do). She ended up listening to at least 3 murder mysteries with the same name. She enjoyed them but it wasn’t the book I had recommended. She’s still trying to find the right one.
