I need to look up All Our Pretty Songs, because I don't know anything about it, but it sounds wonderful. <br /><br />LOVE This paragraph: "When you write a novel, you stumble on places inside yourself you didn't know existed. You slog through rain and mud and snow. But at the end of it all, your map of the world is that much richer, and you can never look at it in quite the same way again." Such a beautiful phrase from an author who moved me this year. <br /><br />Thank you for continuing to do these posts, K!Lauren @ Love is not a trianglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15388832613855107816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523300192245025551.post-14116255525055143812013-06-02T11:25:42.021-04:002013-06-02T11:25:42.021-04:00I'm pretty certain that I want to read Wild Aw...I'm pretty certain that I want to read Wild Awake now. I still don't know if I am in the right mood for it, but it's definitely going on the list for later. I also need to check out This Song Will Save Your Life! I've been seeing it around a lot lately and the cover is amazing.

I love it when a book envelops you so completely that you're absorbed in their world and pretty much believe it can all be true. As one who has notoriously professed disdain for contemporary fiction, I'm definitely adding WILD AWAKE, as well as her new favourites to my TBR! Thank you for sharing, Keertana and Hilary!

And I'm guessing my copy of Wild Awake will arrive tomorrow and I'm SUPER excited! Cannot wait! I love the whole concept of widening your horizons without ever leaving your hometown. You discover new things about a place you thought you knew everything about, and also about yourself! That's wild, and, well, awakening! I'm gonna stop being lame! :P Great post!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523300192245025551.post-70752421229342838142013-05-29T13:40:23.562-04:002013-05-29T13:40:23.562-04:00So I just found out that this book is set locally ...So I just found out that this book is set locally which makes me all sorts of excited to read it and see if I can figure out familiar places.

(Gorgeous cover, btw) I also own Eleanor & Park, but I simply haven't found the time for it yet. I' reading more and more realistic YA lately, so I guess it's time. <br /><br />And I love that quote from Wild Awake, just love! <br /><br />On a side note, you're reading GRIMSPACE!!! Yes! Please, PLEASE don't give up on Jax! She is horrible at first, selfish, obnoxious, pretentious and about 17 other awful adjectives... a real anti-heroine. But you'll see so much growth from one book to the next. by the end, I actually named my cat after her. :)Maja (The Nocturnal Library)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14276646316400863181noreply@blogger.com
