  1. I have read Finnikin and really liked it. I own two of the others but have yet to read them. What scares me more is that I haven't heard of the others. Where's Simmone Howell's Everything Beautiful for goodness sakes?

  2. Very nice. I'd like to read Finnikin too, but since I actually haven't gotten around to reading Melina's other books besides Saving Francesca (which I love-love-loved, but still)... I should probably do that first. The Monster Blood Tattoo series I'm intrigued by. Heard a lot about it.
