Ooh, we have a few in common! The Way We Fall sounds really good, and I've been meaning to get to Black City–better make sure they're on my Goodreads TBR list!
I loved them both! TWWF is haunting – I read it while on a cruise, and every time someone in the elevator sneezed, I was like: EEP! BLACK CITY is swoony with really wonderful character development & fascinating world-buliding. I can't wait for both sequels!
You've got some great books on this list! A couple of them are on my superlatives list today too, while others are sitting on my TBR list waiting to be read. Thanks for the reminders! 🙂
I think I said the same thing about yours! Thanks for reading! 🙂
Oh, I've never heard of THE WAY WE FALL before, but after checking it out, I have to track it down and read it! Thanks for the recommendation.
You're welcome! It's very haunting and such a page-turner. I can't wait for the sequel!
I just picked up MY LIFE NEXT DOOR while I was shopping today because I saw it on so many lists. Thanks for participating!
I feel that way about RAVEN BOYS! Must read soon! I hope you'll love MLND – it has such wonderful characterization!
I very much enjoyed STEALING PARKER too! And yay to BITTERBLUE! Must read FIRE!
Great choices!
Miranda's a friend, so I got to beta read her spring 13 book, THINGS WE CAN'T FORGET, early – and it's even better!
Great choices, Jessica! I love BITTERBLUE, MY LIFE NEXT DOOR, and UNDER THE NEVER SKY… They all made my list too!
Yay for similar reading tastes! 🙂 All this list-making makes me happy!
I have Venom on hold at the library right now. It sounds really interesting, so I can't wait to finally get ahold of it! I'll have to look up most of these other ones on your list, though…it looks like we didn't have many in common which means more books for me to add to my TBR 🙂
I loved VENOM – it was actually my first book blurb! (The second is CHANTRESS, by Amy Butler Greenfield, which comes out next summer!)
Under the Never Sky is on my Christmas wish list!
I asked for SO many books for Christmas! I can't wait to have a good snuggly reading day or two!
So much apocalypsie love! <3
I read SO many Apocs books this year – and I've got more to go!
I don’t have many in common with you–which means I just got a whole bunch of recommendations from your list. I did love CATCHING JORDAN, and I’m looking forward to STEALING PARKER.
STEALING PARKER is fantastic! I think each of Miranda's books gets better and better – I love THINGS I CAN'T FORGET too!
Hey, we have a lot of the same picks! I can't believe I haven't read Bitterblue yet… I think I'm scared because Graceling and Fire are two of my favorite books ever. But it sounds like I don't have to worry about it being disappointing!
I loved BITTERBLUE! It's a less traditional structure, but I adored it.
Scarlet looks awesome!
Also, you have an awesome blog!
Thank you! I can't wait to read SCARLET!
