Dreamland was the first book of hers that I read. I enjoyed it. It does seem a bit depressing compared to most of her other books though.
I also love Sarah Dessen, although I agree with Seth ... Dreamland was my least favorite of hers. And I haven't read her new book yet.
Um, I couldn't find it. I gave it to my mom and she doesn't know where she put it. :P Also, Demonglass is due at the library first. So ...
13 Little Blue Envelopes is such a cute story no matter how unrealistic it may be. In reality, there's something called kidnapping. Ha. Anyway, that reminds me that I must read the sequel. Eeeh! Eeeh! I'm a bat.

Never too late to start!

That is a cute book. And I have the sequel, although I seem to have lost it ... *searches house frantically*

Amkra- It's too late. And not worth it. Because eventually you'll have to read the third one. -cries hysterically-

I have stuck it out and have a little bit left and it has finally picked up I was losing hope in it but the plot is finally moving somewhere. I think Tamani is deffiently the most interesting of all the characters :)

Oh that is dissapointing I thought the second one would deffienlty be more exciting. I was thinking maybe the first one was just slowly building up to a big climax.

Oh just ignore him! Everyone has different opinions so give it a try :)

Amkra - I agree with Heidi that it is worth a try. There are people out there who really liked Mockingjay. Though I didn't like some things about it, I am glad I read it.

I thought that too, but the second one was pretty boring IMO. :(

Yes, Spells is def not as enojoyable as Wings was. I hope Illusions is better.
I just started Beauty Queens, I have not read anything else by Bray, But so far I am enjoying it. Its pretty funny in a snarky kinda way.
Yeah, Amkra, don't listen to me. but don't listen to Heidi either! (Her name is Heidi [don't listen to me]).

Beauty Queens is hilarious!
You should read her other books, too––although they're all quite different. Going Bovine is somewhat similar to Beauty Queens––in that it's also a comedy ... sort of. It's a bit more ... abstract.
I still love her Gemma Doyle trilogy the best, and those are really different from Going Bovine and Beauty Queens. A lot darker. But soooo good. <3

BRIGID READ EVERFOUND FIRST. OR I'LL HATE YOU FOREVER.Not really.
But I will, a little.
I love audiobooks, Brandi!
I want to read Beauty Queens, though I never did finish Going Bovine. I tried, I really did. Picked it up several times after giving up on it. I feel really guilty, especially because I was at Bray's acceptance speech for the Printz Award for it. I'm currently reading the last Ruby Oliver book by E. Lockhart.

I love the Gemma Doyle trilogy. They were the kind of books I just wanted to curl up in the covers and read.
I am currently reading Looking for Alaska by John Green. I like it. I am not head over heels for it, but I do like the way the author captured the voice of a gawky, teenage boy.
I just finished
. Diane Duane is amazing. <3I'm starting
because the cover is so pretty. :) It'll probably be the last book I check out of the library though, because I've pretty much lost my card and the new policy states you can't check out books without it now! -grumbles-
Sarah, most libraries will let you get a replacement card for a pretty low fee. Ours is $2. It's a pain, I know, but it is still cheaper than buying all your books!

Too late ... but I just finished the 6th Harry Potter book.
So NOW I'm going to read Everfound! <3

I just can't enjoy audiobooks Seth. It annoys me that I could read so much faster on my own and I have a hard time doing ANYTHING else while listening because I'm so easily distracted. Sarah I loved What I Saw and How I Lied. I hope you enjoy it!
BRIGID YOU ARE A FREAKEN BOOK MONSTER THIS WEEK! NO JOKE! YOU'VE READ LIKE, THREE, BOOKS. I'VE BEEN READING GOING BOVINE FOREVER.Yes, but, sometimes, books are just audiobooks to me. Idk why. Like, I don't ever want to read an Ender's Game book. I'd rather listen to them.
Same here Seth. I will only listen to Bloody Jack on audio. The narrator is just so stinkin good it would be silly NOT to let her read to me.
