Ooh, enjoy the Kristan Higgins books! Fair warning, I needed Kleenex for both of them, especially The Next Best Thing. Her newest one is up on NetGalley, too, if you want to check that out as well.

Kristan Higgins! I’ve only read one of her books, and heard of her work from Sarah from YA Librarian Tales. I read Too Good to Be True, and I absolutely loved it. Full of funny and crazy characters, with a good chunk of heart. It’s a great lighthearted contemporary romance!

Ooo, The Furies of Calderon looks interesting. May have to try that one.
And it looks like you got some great EGalleys! I really want to read The Pledge and Graffiti Moon. Happy reading!

I really want to read The Furies of Calderon too, I’m feeling some book jealousy there. May have to stop and see if my Borders still has it….

You know how excited I am about a lot of the books you got, lots of great reading ahead for you!

I got an unsolicited copy of Underdogs too! I pulled it out and saw the sort of boy cover and I was like wtfwhy? and then I saw who it was by and I admit, I squeeled too.
I keep looking for Bloodfever, I don’t have that one yet, but every time I go, that’s the one they’re missing!
I’m going to be reading The Iron Duke for vvb32′s September Zombies event.
Enjoy your many sexytimes!
