  6. I know you said not to yell at you for not reading TFiOS, but being the rebellious teenager that I am... WHY HAVE YOU NOT READ TFiOS YET?! YOU ABSOLUTELY MUST. Like, NOW, MARGIE, NOW.

    So, continuing on, you got some other lovely books as well! Shadow & Bone was in my top 5 favorite reads from last year, it was THAT good. So I hope you end up loving it! Also, Earthbound's cover is utterly gorgeous, so I hope the stuff inside ends up being as good as the outside. ;)

    Enjoy your lovely books (NAMELY THE FAULT IN OUR STARTS *cough*)! <3
