It was really hard to make that confession (I have a good friend who simply adores the Tomorrow series and will probably deny all friendship with me now that she knows I haven't read it lol!!) but I think that we all need reminders every now and then regarding which good books we need to get to ASAP. And good on you for getting through some Aussie YA gems last year! The Book Thief STILL makes me sob all these years later - it's the very definition of the word 'feels' XDBooknut101https://www.blogger.com/profile/10916659125355019273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3526109105369667439.post-34828059329389664032016-08-10T20:01:43.547+11:002016-08-10T20:01:43.547+11:00Nice choices!

I'm glad you enjoyed The Boundless Sublime, I had a few frustrations with it even though I enjoyed it. CANNOT wait for Gemina and glad you enjoyed Threader (which is also on the TBR).
