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?

    Buddy of mine was really pushing me to read Fountainhead, but had been pushing it off. I had forgotten the name of the actual book, and somehow got it in my head that it was called Foundation instead.

    Pulled up Foundation for audio book, got the Isaac Asimov book. Didnt pay attention to the author, was confused as to why the book was so controversial. Was several hours in until we talked, realized we were talking about two different books. Finished Foundation, need to find the sequels when I’m done with WoT.
