Crystal Clear Reading: Queen of the Dead - Stacey Kade
http://crystalsbookblog.blogspot.com/2011/07/queen-of-dead-stacey-kade.html
Tuesday, July 19, 2011. Queen of the Dead - Stacey Kade. For some reason I thought this was going to be book one in the series and I was very wrong. Queen of the Dead. Is actually book two in Stacey Kade's A Ghost and a Goth. I was extremely confused when I started reading and I had a ton of questions going through my head. Thank God Stacey re-hashed a few things throughout the book because otherwise I probably would have quit reading. Have you read this series? What did you think? Jennifer R. Hubbard.

Friday, August 5, 2011. Shut Out by Kody Keplinger. After reading Kody Keplinger's debut novel The DUFF. Last year, I was really looking forward to see what was up next for her. I started hearing about Shut Out. And without even knowing what it was about, I had to read it. When I found out that All 4 Alabama had a copy donated for auction, I immediately decided that it was going to be one of the auctions I fought for and I did. I was SO excited when I won and I couldn't wait to get it in my hands! And I ...
