    My sister bought me Teardrop (among others) for my birthday so I’m excited to read that one. I’m also looking forward to Of Beasty and Beauty, Vicious, Coldest Girl in Coldtown, and These Broken Stars. I have none of those but I know I want to read them at some point. Preferably before the new year is over :P Thanks for the giveaway Kelly! ^_^

    Bummer you didn’t like Coldtown and Something Strange & Deadly so much :/ Both were 5 star reads for me. Oh well, it’d be boring if everyone liked the same books :) Vicious sounds amazing though! I think I’ve read nothing but positive reviews so far. Thanks for making the giveaway international :)

    I sadly have not read any of them :/
    I am totally excited to read The Broken Stars and Of Beast and Beauty, though. I love the covers. I’m a sucker for sci-fi and Beauty and the Beast. Seriously. I can’t wait.
    I’m interested in Crash Into You, but I’m not quite convinced. Maybe I’ll read the other ones and see how I like Katie McGary’s style and such. I’m picky about my contemporary.
    Thanks for the awesome giveaway!

    The only one I’ve read so far is Crash Into You. Absolutely LOVED it and can’t wait for book 4!! Quiet a few of the others are on my fiending list, especially Cress even though I still haven’t gotten my hands on Scarlet yet. :(
