I am so glad to see 13 Reasons Why on so many lists because I really love that book. Besides having such a great message, it is so unique in set-up and impossible to put down.
ReplyDeleteI just received Dare You To and totally didn't realize it was this kinda book- I was expecting a hot romance. Thanks for the warning! And Thirteen Reasons Why was incredible.
ReplyDeleteI have read Pushing the Limits, Sea of Tranquility and Hopeless from that list. I enjoyed all of them and can't wait to read Dare You To. I rather avoid books about death and suicide, as I don't deal well with those subjects.
ReplyDeleteCompletely understandable! They're tough subjects for a reason! Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteOh there's romance too! I think you'll like it. Especially if you liked Pushing the Limits. Thanks for commenting!
ReplyDeleteI agree. 13 Reasons Why has a good message for the most part, but I mostly loved the unique formatting and narration. Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteThanks for much for following, commenting, stopping by...all of it!
ReplyDeleteThese were all really good. Highly recommend them all! Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by in return. :)
ReplyDeleteOh boy! I highly recommend them all. Thanks for stopping by and commenting!
ReplyDeleteYes Speechless surprised me. I read it during a spell where it seemed like EVERY book touched on bullying. So I was kind of sick of the topic, but Speechless ended up being better than I expected. Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteREAD THEM! Colleen Hoover's stuff is GREAT! 2 of her 4 books I've given 5 Stars to. 1 was 4.9 Stars. And I think the other was like 4.5 Stars for me. They're just REALLY good! Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteYes, Speechless exceeded my expectations. Thanks for stopping by and commenting!
ReplyDeleteHaha...yeah, some New Adult. I love when I find someone with the same reading tastes. Heading over to follow you back! Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read any of these! Then again, it's no surprise... I don't like tough topics. :( Thanks for the follow! I'm a new follower, too. :)
ReplyDeleteAnother lover of New Adult, I see!! Awesome choices you have here. I also included Slammed and The Coincidence of Callie and Kayden on my list. And, I've read both Katie McGarry books and Rule - all so good! New follower!
