  1. I've seen this list around too but I'm too lazy to go through all of them to see how many I've read.

  2. I really liked Beastly by Alex Flinn, but Cloaked was much better. I listened to Cloaked on audiobook and it was a good story for that media. The Luxe books are on my list, I just haven't gotten to them yet.

  3. I've just featured a biography of Katy Perry but am told by a reader that the book may be of interest only to teens!
