Aaah so I am seriously kicking myself right now!! I did not realize that DARE YOU TO was the SECOND in a series (I hate when this happens)!! I know, I know, how did I not have any idea?? Probably because I'm not that huge into contemporary (even though my stack seems to say otherwise) but I've heard that Katie McGarry rocks and thought the book sounded good so I bought it. Can someone please tell me if it's necessary to read the books in order? Or do they not really tie into each other? The summaries for both of them sound like their about different people...
Aside from my rookie mistake, I'm pretty excited about my haul! What have you added to your shelves?
The Pushing the Limits books are companion novels, so you can read them out of order if you like. Dare You To is focused on different people than in the previous book, but a few of the characters (like Beth) were in it. I hope you enjoy the book. I loved it!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your books and have a happy new year!

Thanks, that's a relief!! Happy New Year!
DeleteThat cover of The Shadow of Blackbirds intrigues me somehow...
ReplyDeleteEnjoy! And have a good New Year.
I know! To me it's creepy but in a really good way :-)
DeleteNice haul. I loved "The Fault In Our Stars", whilst the fact that I enjoyed "Pushing The Limits", so "Dare You To" is on my Wish List.

My Book Haul
Lots of great ones. I added a couple to my TBR list. enjoy your haul.
ReplyDeleteIt can be read read as a stand alone. PTL is my fav of the series :) love TIOS, so sad. Happy reading
ReplyDeleteGreat haul! I think it can be read as a standalone as far as I know, though I haven't read the books yet. I think since their just companions it's all good to be read alone. The Fault in Our Stars is one of my favorite books and I can't wait for the movie. It's gonna be fantastic! I hope you enjoy your books. :)

Great haul! I really want to read For Darkness Shows The Stars, have heard so many amazing things. I really enjoyed TFIOS, was a really great read. It's not necessary for you to read book 1 before you read Dare You To :) I hope you enjoy all your books :) My STS.
