  1. I seriously need to start the Lunar series! I have had Cinder on my shelf forever and I just keep not getting to it! I've seen nothing but amazing reviews for these books so I need to make them a priority.

    I've got Alienated in my stack too. That looks really interesting to me.

  2. As a Lunar Chronicles fan - I NEED to get my hands on Cress. And yes... not being over dramatic or anything but this is a need and not a want...

    Okay. So I'm not really that much like Veruca Salt but I am eager to read it. I didn't think I'd like a futuristic scifi cyborg fairytale retelling but its a great series. :)
