Sign: Gemini
Stone: Agate
The You I've Never Known by Ellen Hopkins
Reason: Book with a face in profile on the cover."

Sorry, but I have to disallow your first book. This is not a profile. The face is looking straight on. A profile is a side view with the person looking either off to the right or left.

Also, when posting a task that relates to the cover, you need to show the cover in your post. A link to the book page is not sufficient.

Stone: Jasper
Girl, Interrupted by Susanna Kaysen
Reason: Theme of mental illness."

I'm sorry, but I have to disqualify this book as it doesn't meet the minimum page requirement of 175 pgs. Did you link to the edition you read?

[Rusalka, Moderator]

Pesky exams. Hope they are over for you soon. And you're right - more books!

[Janice, Moderator]

Something short like that is good during exams. Good luck on them. :)

You're just motoring along!

Haha.. Okay. I've never heard of that series before. Is it good?"

If you don't mind romance and if you don't mind paranormal romance. Then you may like it. Her writing is just beautiful..... Nalini Singh....
