    Jealous of ME for Renegade? Girl, you got BREATHE (I have it but, in all honesty, IT IS THE BEST I LOVED IT SO MUCH) and BLACK CITY! (Okay so I also have that BUT it was really good and WHO DOESN'T LOVE THAT COVER?!?!?!?)

    1. Your comment made us laugh :)) We're currently reading Promised, and we're kind of sad that the trilogy is ending. :( The series is really good! Thanks for stopping by. :)

  5. I Am Not A Serial Killer looks so good. SO good. (I'm obsessed with books about murders & serial killers.) I think I'll snag a copy myself. If you're like me and love to read books about serial killers, then I'll suggest you check out I Hunt Killers by Barry Lyga. It's full of awesome. :D
    Thanks for stopping by My STS! (:

    1. Ooh, we've read that! :) I've also read the book about the real serial killers, with the whole life story and their methods and stuff... They're so fascinating!!! This is why picking up Ten and I Am Not A Serial Killer is pretty much a no-brainer. :) Thanks for dropping by.
