Also picked up Since You've Been Gone at BEA and am really looking forward to it. The hardback cover is adorable! On the Fence is a book that probably would have made my list had I gotten an ARC of it - I love KW's books to pieces, and a best friend romance is one of my favorite tropes. <br /><br />Awesome list, Summer!

And Say What You Will! That's one of my favorites of the year too, and I can't wait to read your full review. I hate the cover change, though—the new cover is fine, but the old one with the two chairs was gorgeous.

I seriously didn't think I'd love them as much as I did but aaargh I read them all one after the other within a week or so. So much love for them <3 Cress was just amazing, possibly my favourite one of the series so far, just so good! Crown of Midnight was just aahhh amazing and I'm currently reading Heir of Fire and loving it. Definitely my favourite YA fantasy series right now! Cruel Beauty, The Midnight Thief, The Kiss of Deception; all books that have been on my wishlist forever that I'm dying to read! Such a good list, love me some fantasy <3<br /><br />Becca @ Lost in Thought<br />http://lostinthought-becca.blogspot.co.uk/2014/06/top-ten-books-ive-read-so-far-this-year.htmlbeccabookloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12658015894606772164noreply@blogger.com
