Julie The library I work at has a reciprocal agreement with another library close by so I went there today and picked up Shatter Me (Shatter Me, #1) by Tahereh Mafi East by Edith Pattou Eve (Eve, #1) by Anna Carey and Drought by Pam Bachorz . I'm so excited, they have a great YA area!

That's awesome! I volunteer at a library, and I love being able to do the interlibrary exchange thing too. East is really great, by the way. :)

I sure hope you like it better than I did, Heidi! I don't know why I bothered to finish it. It made little sense and then turned into a "goo-goo eyes" love story. Definitely won't be around for book 2!

That's one of the reasons I've been putting off so long to read it. The incest thing is a bit out of my comfort zone but I'm so willing to give it a try. I hope I love it as much as you (:
