Comments
1. I recently read Knife by R.J.Anderson and loved it. It was one of the books that I shared with my husband as I was reading it. He liked it too.
2. Islands of Chaldea is my current choice. I really want to read it.
3. I'm on twitter as @PeppermintRose_ right now.
2) I'm really curious about A Matter of Souls and The Islands of Chaldea!
I think no need to answer no. 3, right? :P
1. I recently read two third books in a series that were particularly wonderful. Cress by Marissa Meyer, which lived up to all the hype and more. And Goliath by Scott Westerfeld, which was an EXCELLENT trilogy ender. That romance will live with me forever.
2. I'm really curious to read Pointe. I was in a professional ballet company for a while and I want to get into this one. I'm picky with ballet books though so we'll see.
3. I'm on twitter as @kateriransom
1) I read Fangirl a month or so ago and LOVED it. I'm going to cheat and talk about Ready Player One - I just finished it a week ago and I loved it as well.
2) I think either of Jones' books really interest me, I'm not sure which I would want to read more!
3) @bookgoil on Twitter.
Thanks!
1) Eleanor and Park :) I loved it.
2) I´m interested in A Matter of Souls and Pointe :)

1. Reign Rain was really good.
2. Umm. Homeward Bounders since it's hard to fond elsewhere.
3. @mrbenjimartin on twitter
1. SIDEKICKED, definitely. It makes me so happy, Brandy.
2. I think it'd be more fun if you chose the book. :) You know me, and I like having books pushed on me.
3. @ShaelynCherie
Thanks for the giveaway, Brandy!
YES to Chocolate temptation and Black Dog. I still need to read Host.
I would be really interested in your perspective on Pointe then. It isn't really a ballet book. Ballet is just a central component of the main character's life.
Both Jones books are good, but I like The Homeward Bounders more and it's not in print in the US anymore so harder to get a hold of. :)
2. I would love to win The Night Gardener! :)
3. My twitter handle is @MrsVanDusen223
Thanks!
2. I think probably The Last Best Kiss! It looks fun! :)
