I loved the Hunt- I got an early copy of it. My daughter just finished BitterBlue and was a huge fan of the Graceling. She said she liked bitterblue, but it wasn't what she expected. I also have of poseidon, but haven't read it. The Hunt is one of my favorites of the year!

I can't wait I'd pick up and dive into it now but I'm determined to read Beautiful Creatures (Caster Chronicles, #1) by Kami Garcia first otherwise I already would have.

@Courtney: basically if you see the add book/author at the top of the comment box click that and you'll see a search box type in the title, make sure you've clicked add cover instead of add link and then press okay.


message 1926: by Gwennie (new)

Gwennie (blessedwannab) you mean the little picture of the books?

It's the link right above your comment box that says 'add book/author'. You type your book in and then select to show cover and not link.


message 1927: by Courtney (new)

Courtney Vail | 5 comments Okay. Thanks! That's good to know. I feel like such a forum dolt.
