I hope everyone’s New Year is off to a great start! I want to get so much reading & blog wise accomplished and I’m certainly heading in the right direction. I wanted to use more of my spare time reading(because I love it!) instead of watching TV and I definitely have been. I read soooo many books in January. Well for me anyway… compared to last year and certainly compared to December :S

Wow, looks like you had a stellar month, reading some awesome books and blogging. I’m off to check out some more of your posts 🙂
Thanks Tanya! The reading was my biggest accomplishment… I’m glad I started 2013 off with a bang! Thanks for stopping in 😀
So glad you loved Hopeless and Under The Never Sky ! I rated them the same as you 😉
Yayyy!! I was actually shocked that I liked Under the Never Sky as much as I did, I only just started dabbling in Sci-Fi but it was sooo good! And Hopeless… that book ate me up inside. Loved it! Thanks for stopping by Cassie 🙂
