Afterworlds by Scott Westerfeld

Talon by Julie Kagawa

  4. I read very few books that were actually released in 2014. In fact, the majority of my reading in 2014 has been in backlist titles. I suspect that 2015 may be much the same.

  5. I love the idea of writing a quote under the name of the book - something I haven't seen before on a TTT :-). I really want to read The Winner's Curse and The Kiss of Deception!!...and many of the other books you mentioned haha!
    I hope you find some more great reads in 2015!
