Life and the holidays have swept me (and the other FNC-ers) away from the blog as of late, but we'll be back in full force soon enough.
Until then, I'm on a book binge, and I need some suggestions!
In the past week, I've read Last Sacrifice (OMGGGG Richelle Mead thank youuuuu) and I FINALLY read Before I Fall --- soooo lived up to the hype (Lauren Oliver, I'm your newest fan). And now I'm starting on my ARC of Across the Universe, which promises to be a stellar debut. (Hi, Beth!)
And then....... well, there are SO MANY books on my shelves that I haven't read yet. Can you guys tell me which you loved, so I know in which order I should read them?
Here's my list, in no particular order:
Ballad, Maggie Stiefvater
Inside Out, Maria V Snyder
Flash Burnout, LK Madigan
An Abundance of Katherines, John Green
Mostly Good Girls, Leila Sales
Jellicoe Road, Melina Marchetta
My Invented Life, Lauren Bjorkman
Love is the Higher Law, David Levithan
Alright, tell me your favorite(s) in the comments, please! Anything else awesome I should read? Did you get any great books for the holidays?
AN ABUNDANCE OF KATHERINES for sure! Happy reading!

ReplyDeleteDOOOOOOD you need to read Jellicoe Road, like, yesterday so that you can make my year, plzkthxbye. :)
ReplyDeleteOh, and John Green, of course. I haven't read Inside Out yet, but love Maria's other books, so I don't think you could go wrong with that!
Okay, going back to my own end-of-the-year book binge now! Have fun with yours!
Ballad. Everything Maggie has written is poetic. Its a great book to end the year with. Happy holidays.
ReplyDeleteInside Out and Ballad are both really good. Enjoy your reading time.
