I haven't read The Rithmatist yet either! It's just lying there on my shelf! I will definitely read it sometime soon though. Must make time for it, because Sanderson is amazing :D

Ah, The Winner's Curse. <3 Love that book to death. I'll admit that it is also my favorite book title in the post. I have yet to read Jodi Meadows' books but I really need to!

I love The Winner's Curse too! The romance was just amazing.
Jodi Meadows' books are great. They're also ridiculously pretty. So, win win :P

I've heard a lot about Jodi Meadows' book but haven't picked them up, since the first book is never in stores that I can find! I still want to read The Winner's Curse, but haven't taken the time to buy a copy. I really enjoyed What I Thought Was True, and I just got her first book, so I'll be reading that soon too :D I've heard that My Life Next Door is better?

The Winner's Curse! I loooooved it madly. Wasn't it just incredible! Can't wait to see what you think of The Year of The Rat, I found it really emotional, especially seeing 'The Rat' grow. I've Bern seeing Brandon Sanderson's name everywhere in the last few weeks, I've never read anything if his, but will have to check out some of his titles. Do you have any recommendations on which one to start with?

Awesome haul Nara.

Since you're a YA reader, I'd say Steelheart :)
His adult books are pretty heavy epic fantasy ones, but they're absolutely amazing, so if you want to try some of those, I'd say start with Mistborn!

I like the title The Year of the Rat too! But since I haven't actually read that, I don't really know how it related to the book itself haha.
Ava Lavender is a really intriguing title- and the cover is so pretty :D And well...even if you didn't enjoy it, at least you have a pretty on your shelf :P

The spine of WITWT matches the one for My Life Next Door! They look so pretty together :D
The title of The Oathbreaker's Shadow was what drew me to the book in the first place! It just sounds so epic.

Hmmm I quite love the sound of The Oathbreaker's Shadow, but that does remind me that I need to read The Winner's Curse too. Lovely haul Nara, you got quite a lot of 5 star reads which is awesome!
