-Completed 07/01/15

Strangely this year I have found that I have enjoyed YA books more than I originally thought I would. So far Julie Kagawa has been one of the most intriguing. I really enjoyed this book because it showed that even though the two opposing organizations hated each other some of the characters still managed to follow their true selves. They did not allow the conformity to trap them as some people often do to gain/maintain acceptance.

Updated message 486 - 18/25

Finished Stiff today.

I read The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt and To all the boys I've loved before by Jenny Han, which brings me to 7/25.
