I've seen this book a lot in the past few weeks! It sounds like a great book (although a bit creepy). I love dystopia so I might have to give this a try :) Nice haul!
ReplyDeleteI really like that cover and I know Magan really enjoyed that book! I hope you do too, Alexa! Also the post on Hong Kong Disneyland is AMAZING, I would love to go there.
ReplyDeleteOooh ... Forsaken! That's such a pretty book! I love the spine -- really stands out.
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you for the guest post on the blog this week! I loved it! Lots of witches and wizards out there. :)

I hope you enjoy The Forsaken! I thought it was a great plot-driven book, even if the characters suffered a little because of it.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to check out some of those post you linked up. Thanks for sharing! :)
