I mean, I didn't hate any of these, but they're not favoritey favorites. Though GOLDEN BETTER BE. Everybody promised. EVERYONE. I would LOVE to discuss Dangerous Girls with you, though, because I am curious. Partly, I had this whole twist I was hoping for that I liked better than the actual twist and then I was sad. Haha.<br /><br />Woo! I DNFed two of your worst books and was never going to read the others. GO ME.<br /><br />MEL, THIS SONG WILL SAVE YOUR LIFE. YES YES YES. Everbound was also fantastic, but I'm not talking to that series right now.<br /><br />I also read none of Mel's worst books. I WIN.

I really enjoyed Golden and The Beginning of Everything and All Our Yesterdays as well... and have not read any of the ten books you and Mel hated. THANK GOODNESS FOR THAT. Cruel Beauty and Heartbeat - loved those two! And if you haven't read The Winner's Curse yet - well, you'll want to do that! I loved that book so so so much. Find someone who got one of those cute packages with the dagger and borrow! Or something. Just make sure you read it ASAP :D<br /><br />Here's to an awesome 2014!<br /><br />Alyssa @ <a href="http://eaterofbooks.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">The Eater of Books!</a>Alyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00128004483437247740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8646664861833035183.post-25804726300364343012014-01-02T13:25:19.597-08:002014-01-02T13:25:19.597-08:00BOOK TWIN! :) And ugh, Rise and Tumble & Fall....BOOK TWIN! :) And ugh, Rise and Tumble & Fall. Rise was like the ultimate betrayal for me. It's the worst when you're anticipating a series' conclusion so much and it disappoints as greatly as Rise did. And I really need to get around to reading This Song. I've heard literally nothing but amazing things. <br /><br />And YESSS, Free to Fall. And have you requested We Were Liars on NetGalley yet?

I'm STILL mad at Rise and Tumble & Fall. And I still swoon and get teary thinking of This Song. Just...what a gorgeous and needed and BRAVE book. <br /><br />GAH, Free to Fall. I NEED IT. I can't wait, since I adored Lauren's Parallel. And man, I need We Were Liars. I just DO. Reasons.

I am especially partial to Cruel Beauty for being inventive and gorgeous and awesome. But We We Liars can be described by each of those adjectives as well. And I hope you enjoy Pivot Point!!

I was debating on whether or not I'd put that or Evertrue on the list, but I put Split Second instead (despite the fact that I gave Evertrue 4.5 stars). I'm weird like that. But it was insanely close.

I keep seeing people gush about it on twitter and now I'm obsessed with laying my hands on it! And I'm not excited about Split Second just yet - my copy of Pivot Point is currently on its way to me! I waited for the paperback and now I regret that decision!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17755472634583011546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8646664861833035183.post-45832944761614555722014-01-01T09:42:59.491-08:002014-01-01T09:42:59.491-08:00YESSS.

I loved Pivot Point, so I am glad that you both have Split Second on the lists of books you've enjoyed from 2014.
