I'm kind of ashamed that I've only read 3 books out of your lists! I guess I need to change that soon. I especially want to read If You Find Me and The Gallagher Girls series!

I LOVE Maggie Silver! And Robin Benway's books are just so entertaining. She's a fantastic heroine!
Of course I have tons of love for Cress too! I loved that she was so sheltered and nerdy and yet she made a very brave heroine :D

Eeek! I haven't read any of these books! There's just so many! I do have Cinder, though, and I plan to read that trilogy soon. I also wanted to read If You Find Me and Code Name Verity!

i LOVE what you did with the underrated!! VERITY! My dear sweet Julie!! God that book was a heart breaker. I just read Black dove White Raven by Wein and it was good but didnt quite pack as much of an emotional punch for me. STILL amazing though.

Oh man. I haven't read ANY of these! What is wrong with me?! I've had Unspoken and In a Handful of Dust for forever too! Well, just more books to add to my ever growing TBR! I've heard of all of them though. :)

Thanks for stopping by my TTT earlier! New follower!

I have access to If You Find Me, but I haven't felt a huge rush to read it. Glad to hear good things about it. 100% yes to Verity. She was so brave! Love Cress too! Definitely being a nerd pays off!

Maggie! Love that girl to death. She's so funny and endearing. And Cress is a wonderful choice too! I love how different she is from the usual heroine.
Great list, girls! Miss you all. <3
