ooh i read the awakening and evernight (havent gotten to stargazer yet!) and Wings, but havent gotten around to once dead,twice shy.
the fact that miley cyrus is planned to play laurel in the wings adaptation is kinda ruining it for me
I really want to start reading more YA, and all those books look so good.
*rubbing hands together in glee* I’m really looking forward to this month of reviews and interviews, etc, ladies. I’m loving the YA genre at the moment.
[...] meant to add a link to The Book Smugglers Young Adult Appreciation Month in my Saturday link list. Ana and Thea of The Book Smugglers are hosting a month of blog posts [...]
Looks like it’s going to be an awesome first week! Thanks girls!
This is mega exciting! Thanks again for putting this together.
What an absolutely amazing week and I’m drooling at the thought of both Melissa Marr’s manga and the visit by Farrin Jacobs! What a dream job IMO
omfg! I’m not alone with my obssession for books. I’ve got my fingers crossed on getting into a publishing place after high school. Ek! One day you could be reading my work, which would be awesome. I actually just finished writing a book. It’s in the editing process at the moment.
