Haha I get what you mean! But yeah, I've started reading THO and it definitely spoils what happens at the end of HoO, so I would recommend finishing that series first. ;)

I skipped it Storm - too many GR friends I have similar tastes with warned me away :) It does seem very popular though.

Brigid ✩ | 738 comments Awesome, Jenny! And ooh yes you should definitely read the rest of the Unwind series, it's so amazing. I finally finished the fourth one last week and it was just mind-blowing!

Today I spent a lot of time reading Wildwood, which I love so far. So I went ahead and bought the second and third books, partly because I really want to read them and also because my sister loves them. The covers are all so gorgeous! The thumbnails don't do them justice. :P

Wildwood (Wildwood Chronicles, #1) by Colin Meloy Under Wildwood (Wildwood Chronicles, #2) by Colin Meloy Wildwood Imperium (Wildwood Chronicles, #3) by Colin Meloy
