Emily (tumbling-into-wonderland) | 25 comments I'm really impressed that we're not even at the end of January and I've managed to tick off 5! And all of them have been really great reads too :)

Zaz | 2969 comments How was The Disappearance of Winter's Daughter? It's the only one I've left in Riyria :)
I've heard good things about Scythe, but I just started Unwind series, so I've to finish this one before trying another of his series.
