    1. 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!

  1. 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 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 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.

  4. 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!
