Afterworlds by Scott Westerfeld was the thickest, heaviest, longest book that I obtained at Book Expo America. It’s also one of the books that I was THE MOST excited about because I got to go to this swank lunch hosted by Simon & Schuster and hear Westerfeld talk about the book.
Just Like Fate by Cat Patrick and Suzanne Young | Book Review
August 6, 2014
Just Like Fate by Cat Patrick and Suzanne Young is a book that I have waited way too long to read. It’s also a book that’s co-authored by writers who are among my favorites when it comes to young adult books.

I mean, if you want something a bit lighter than We Were Liars. Full disclosure, I am head over heels in love with […]
