OK, I don't know how I missed this but I'm in too! I've been on a kick to tackle that TBR, stuff I've had either in iTunes or on my shelf. I'm trying to go one-for-one with every new thing I get. Thus far - I've enjoyed these that have been either on my shelf/iTunes or in my TBR forever:



Jenny - remember meeting Amy Bartol? Under Different Stars was FANTASTIC! Especially on audio with Kate Rudd, who narrated Rysa's books. I never pre-order things, never never never since I pre-ordered Requiem (Lauren Oliver) and really got burned. But I pre-ordered Sea of Stars both on audio and in paperback. It was that good - and who knew? I even have a signed copy!

[Victoria]

Great job, Karen, and Jen!

Great job Heather! I loved The Young Elites and Jackaby! Several others of those are on my TBR!

[Heather]

Thanks Jenny! I didn't even realize I read so many off my to-read list until I made the actual list. haha I didn't like The Young Elites as much as expected (although I did enjoy it) but yes, Jackaby was awesome and I'm excited for the sequel to come out this fall. :)

[Leigh]

Congrats Jenny and Heather!
