Hannah (shgmclicious) ALA is great for the reader and ego, bad for the overflowing bookshelves. Some publishers had us sign up for galley mailings rather than pick them up at booths, so I got a box last week with Adaptation by Malinda Lo The Diviners (The Diviners, #1) by Libba Bray Fathomless (Fairytale Retellings, #3) by Jackson Pearce  The Time-Traveling Fashionista at the Palace of Marie Antoinette  by Bianca Turetsky

I did read Shine, Janet, and liked it quite well (3 out of 5 stars). So, when I saw
Bliss by the same author, I thought I'd give it a try.

Saving June
Daughter of the Forest
The Raven Boys
Slammed
Soulless
Delirium
The Truth About Forever
Angelfall
Divergent
Paper Towns

Bethany | 578 comments Ditto, Heidi! Melina is AMAZING!!! I can't wait to see what she writes next. Just thinking about the possibility of an unknown Melina book makes me wanna freak out :)

That's a pretty great list, Danielle! I would highly recommend Daughter of the forest! If Melina is my favorite YA author, Juliet Marillier is definitely my favorite Fantasy writer.
