Pivot point: I finished it a couple of days ago and it's goooood.

Great post! Soo much hype for Kasie West's books and Just One Day is such a must read! Anna and the French Kiss? Literally still buzzing even after it's been published a while back. Great great picks!

Happy Reading

The Assassin's Blade is on my list too. I love this series but haven't picked this one up yet. I think the impending release of the third book is occupying most of my thoughts at the moment.

Nicole - I am 100% behind you reading Dangerous Girls and A Mad Wicked Folly, just saying. :) As for The Assassin's Blade, I am surprised you haven't read that and I actually got to it first. It was a good addition to the series, although it also made me sad.

Ashley - I hope you like Slated (I am siding with Nicole, I think you will like it) and Pivot Point, just because Kasie West is like my new favorite author.

Nicole's:
2. YES YES YES. I loved this so much. Fluffy and shippy and lady power.
4-5. Totally with you on these two. I need to find the time!

Ashley's:
1. SHIPPING.
2. My suggestion would be to read this one but not JOY. Well, depending on why you love JOD, if you do in fact love it obviously. The second book kind of changed the way I see the first one and now I am torn and blah. So anyway. Definitely read it and then make your choice. Haha.
3. My favorite book from last year. So. Many. Feelings.

The Assassin's Blade is really great! I hear Stephanie Perkins books are really great, but I haven't gotten around to them yet.

I haven't read THE ASSASSIN'S BLADE either and I looove the series. ANNA AND THE FRENCH KISS is a definite must. And I'm super not big on historicals but I really liked A MAD, WICKED FOLLY.

Some of the one's I see here I don't even recognize. I really need to search these books up!
I've heard great things about Anna and the French Kiss, Pivot Point, and Dangerous Girls.
I recently decided that I'm going to read all those popular books that I've dismissed before. I don't know why I do that but after reading Daughter of Smoke and Bone I'm convinced I've been silly to think I won't like a popular book.

I highly recommend Pivot Point! It's a lot of fun - reads more like contemporary than anything else, plus an amazing ship (two in Split Second!)
Also, Anna is adorable - lots of drama though, so be prepared. :D
Just One Day is on my list too. I love If I Stay/Where She Went so I don't know what's taking me so long to read it.

Nicole: I really enjoyed A Mad, Wicked Folly and I don't usually like novellas, but you have to read Assassin's Blade just to meet Sam. :( I just got Nantucket Red from the library, although I've heard mixed things. And Rebecca at Library Canary just read The Name of the Wind and loved it…I hadn't even heard about it before.

Ashley: Anna and the French Kiss!!!! The whole series is super cute and fun. And Pivot Point is really good, I do love Kasie West. I really enjoyed Slated too.

Great lists!
