I will definitely be checking out the other winners throughout the years since crossover-type books are right up my alley.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03215797870829907924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3189634640949482827.post-66442436144888572792014-04-23T16:57:18.093-05:002014-04-23T16:57:18.093-05:00Thanks!

I just want to spice up this review a little bit, and all these big adjectives just kept popping up in my head so I went with it. :)Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03788568691345783808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3189634640949482827.post-58399645133791653662014-04-23T08:53:12.724-05:002014-04-23T08:53:12.724-05:00Hmm I see this is marketed as Adult Fiction but Be...Hmm I see this is marketed as Adult Fiction but Bee is only 15? Am I missing something? I'm adding it to my TBR regardless but I don't know what list to put it on... <br /><br />I like the straight-to-the-point reviews! It's always a good thing to spice up one's reviews :) Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18339884453331050427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3189634640949482827.post-49307368233450071542014-04-21T18:45:12.333-05:002014-04-21T18:45:12.333-05:00I thought that book was tons-o-fun too.

A lot of times it's those adjectives & keywords/themes you're using here that signal other readers as to whether or not it's the kind of book they would like anyway. Love it, love it, love it!Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03215797870829907924noreply@blogger.com
