  1. I see Poison Study on your wishlist. I loved it! I think it can be read pretty easily as a stand alone book, too, which is nice. Hope you like it :)

  4. 21. That is better than I expected! It is weird to see Jane Austen listed as YA. You should read Wicked Lovely! I love that book.

  5. Laura - I think I'll buy it soon then! So much for cutting down my spending ;) Haha.

    Iris - Woo! I know, I had the same thought. I didn't know Jane Austen's works could be classed as YA.. Haha, Wicked Lovely has been on my shelf for ages, I think I'll get around to it soon :)
