Is it just me or is there near no characters who actually drive in YA?

The only book that isn't in that genre where there is a character (well multiple) is The Darkest Minds.

There was sobbing on my end too. I had to use the ol'"Muffle my sorrows in the pillow" trick.... Then I started Cinder thinking MAYBE it'd help with the feels.
Yeah...
No.
Feels got trolled.

Started Yesterday Morning, Finished it This Afternoon
It Blew My Mind, I Can't Say Anything Else Because 4 of My Goodreads Friends are Reading it.
@Heidi & @Storm:I held back the tears because I finished reading the book at my break at work(at 12:07, no less...) haha.
So good though.

Yamiele I get more hindered when a book has too many books in the series! If there are more than 3-4 I tend to shy away from it (unless it is Harry Potter of course!)

I needed a break from City of Bones so trying to read some of my library books including The Clockwork Scarab... I'll admit some of these themes are starting to confuse me.

So many great books come in groups of 3 though haha.

I kind of got stuck, Yamile, and set it aside for a bit...I was in a dark place when I was reading it, and I just couldn't keep going. So I set it aside for a bit, I'm hoping to pick it back up this weekend!

I am so close to finishing Dance with Dragons, guys! So, so close! After, i'm hoping to pick up Afterworlds by Scott Westerfeld.
WOW! So that's all of the GoTs books that are out, right? You have to wait for the next one? I'm planning on starting the first one in the next month or two so I have a lot of catching up to do :)
I'm thinking after I finish my current batch of library books I'm gonna read the first Throne of Glass book.

I think they were on sale on audible one day so I bought all three for $4.95 each. What a deal! :)
