About Me
I read. A lot. Mostly whatever YA novels the library has on hold for me that week. Sometimes grown-up books if my book club makes me.

Awesome list! I love how you paired the costume with the books. And I loved Anna Dressed in Blood – and Cinder too.

Hahaha Love your list! I read Scary Stories in 3rd or 4th grade and the librarian warned me about how scary it was when I checked it out. I was all like ‘I can handle it!’ (except I probably said something different because I was 9). Holy crap did it scare me! I read it with my mom and it scared her too.

Hahaha, love the theme! It’s PERFECT! I’m pretty sure Anna Dressed in Blood has been on every list I’ve seen today. I own it but STILL haven’t read it. >.<

I love your approach to this! Sadly, of the books you’ve mentioned, I’ve only read THE LIGHTNING THIEF and NEVERMORE, but the rest are on my TBR pile. Clearly I need to get going.

I liked Born Wicked and I thought Nevermore was great (I can’t wait see how that trilogy wraps up). After seeing it so often, I might actually have to read Anna Dressed in Blood.
