      The second installment in Stiefvater’s The Raven Cycle is on my TBR pile too. I just found out that I can get an audio copy from our provincial library online. SCORE!

  4. Jenny from Supernatural Snark  

    I’m starting Beware the Wild this week, I’m really excited about it! It sounds super atmospheric and eerie and I love books like that:) Definitely looking forward to Blue Lily and This is Your Afterlife too!

    • Carmel  

      Yeah, that hardcover thing is a bummer, mind you we got Kelley Armstrong’s anthology already and it’s not out in the US for another week. You win some, and you lose some!

      That’s no fun, I guess time will tell how much you really want ’em. You’ll either get caught-up asap, or get distracted by other books. Either works for me!
