I choose Cinder by Marissa Meyer for Christine. :)

Yay!! But now we need one more to make the numbers even. C'mon peeps! Sign up!

August 28th! ^.^

Lol! I'm glad it's not just me. It's always just annoyed me so much! I guess it's a reading pet peeve. XD

Lol, if you're over half-way through, we'll let you slide and include it. ;) I'm in the same boat. I'm slowly making my way through. Work is keeping me from devouring it like I want to, lol.

Besides, I hardly think it matters. It's probably a safe bet to say you're winning. XD

This is random, but you know what really irritates me? Book covers that have the author's name bigger than the actual title of the book. I know it might not necessarily be the author's decision, but it just makes them seem so conceited to me...

I'm sooo excited for Battle Angel! (Immortal City #3)

And I've been really interested in The Pledge and Catastrophic History. Good to know they're good! ^.^

I know we've all been in this situation. You read the coolest book and want to talk to others about it - but hardly anyone has ever heard of it! It can be pretty frustrating, but share your grief here with other folks and share your favorite not-so-well-known books for others to possibly enjoy.

Some of my favorite not so well-known books are Immortal City by Scott Speer and Sisters Red by Jackson Pearce. Both books are part of a series and come highly recommended! :)

I want to, but then it'd be, like, sixteen months I have to wait for Lady Midnight!

But if I wait, then I run the risk of getting spoiled...

Gah! #Bookishproblems.

Yes, I just used a hashtag. This problem is deserving of it! Lol.

Just passed page 100 on City of Heavenly Fire! Can't decide if I want to devour this or try and pace myself to get it to last a little longer. Fall 2015 is a long way away, after all.

Yay! More peeps! :D

I can understand how that might have happened - I felt similarly about Aria's world in the beginning. I think it was largely due to the reason that they threw her out so early in the book - so we hardly got time to understand where she lived.

I did think Rossi did a better job of explaining the workings of the Tides and Perry's world, though.

And I definitely like the sequels! I hope you enjoy them, too, Heidi! :)

I know! What happened to the 60 books like this month? XD

I bow down to your comment. That's exactly how I feel. Don't get me wrong, I liked the book - and I love John Green - but I feel that it's overrated. Jodi Picoult did it years ahead of him.

Have you read Across the Universe?
