  2. Some of those books are SOOO awesome! I know because I read a lot of them last year too! I missed SOPHIE AND CARTER though, and I remember reading a good review of it on this blog (I'm pretty sure it was this blog!) so if I win (am I allowed to if I'm non-US?) then I'd love to read SOPHIE AND CARTER.

    PLEEEEASE! I tweeted https://twitter.com/#!/RachelMorgan13/status/158922414330355712
    and I facebooked https://www.facebook.com/RachelMorganWrites/posts/326742497358182
    and I'm a follower (duh!).

    1. One other thing, I know I was following you ladies, but didn't see me among your followers. This has happened to me with a few other bloggers. Ever happen to you? I just re-followed you.

  22. How fun! You have an inspiring reading list! That's the only problem with all those Kindle impulse buys--I don't have the hard copies to sharer :P. I've read a lot of those, but not all. I'll definitely pass this on, and cross my fingers that I get some new books to read :D
