  3. A BIG old YES to Harry Potter, Daughter of Smoke & Bone, Twilight & Hunger Games! LOVE. A lot of the other books you have on here I either own already or they're on my wishlist: Poison Study, Vampire Academy, Dark Lover, Clockwork Angel, Stray, Under the Never Sky & Scorpio Races.

    I've heard GREAT things about The Fault in our Stars, An Abundance of Katherines, Every Day, Dash & Lily...and everything by Sarah Dessen. So, I guess I should really get on those too :) Great list anyways!!

  4. I think I am one of the very few people who have yet to read the Fault in Our Stars. Its just I don't want to read an emotional book right now, maybe never, because I am terrified to read that book.

    1. Don't be scared of The Fault in OUr Stars! I was scared too because of the impact cancer has had on many close people in my family. I laughed more then I cried. Even when I felt like I wanted to cry, John Green would make me laugh. It's a really incredible book. It's emotional yes, but it's soo much more then just a "cancer book". I'm so glad i read it.

  7. I just checked out The Book Thief from the library, I am excited to listen to it! I recommended The Scorpio Races the other day and my friend did not like it, so that was a bit upsetting. But everyone I have recommended Under the Never Sky LOVES it!

    1. The Book Thief was soo good! Hope you like it!
      Yeah it's always a bit upsetting when you recommend a book you really love and think someone will like and they end up not liking it. I don't see how people can NOT like Under the Never Sky!
