Always happy to see Heather Lyons and the Fate Series get some love. :) A lot of these are still on my TBR, I am so looking forward to reading Hopeless, Ten Tiny Breaths, and Inhale Exhale.
ReplyDeleteI never even thought to break up my list between NA and YA. I could have doubled the books and made fewer hard decisions, lol. Next year.

Thanks Eva! If you liked those books, I think you'd definitely like the Beachwood Bay series! It's really good!
DeleteI'm laughing over you including a virgin category. There are enough of those to make it a category right?
ReplyDeleteHopeless, Unspoken, Lost & Found and The Darkest Part are favorites of mine too. Happy New Year!
LOL. Ok, so I felt bad after doing it. I was like- was that mean that I included this? Or snarky? Because I totally didn't intend to! ROFL. Before I said screw it and just added all my faves at the end, I was trying to fit in all my favorite books into categories and I was like, Heeeey this could be one!
DeleteAwesome collection! I agree pretty much will all of these (that I've read) and the others are on my TBR! Can't wait to read the Beachwood Bay books! Dying for some more Melody Grace!!
