Other Books Out This Week:





I'm SO excited for Bang!!  I loved Crash, so I've been waiting on this one ever since.  I also think Red looks cool and unique, I'm definitely reading Premeditated, and I'm still thinking on Tandem.  It's not my usual style of book, but I really liked Anna Jarzab's writing in All Unquiet Things.  Has anyone read it or heard if it's worth reading??

What are you excited to read?

  2. I'm excited for Just One Year! :) I thought that there were some really cool aspects to Tandem, but I felt that the different POVs weren't handled very well.
