Okay, more obsessed than anyone could be obsessed.) I'm so glad you're a fan of the series! :D As for the covers, all of them are so gorgeous! I agree with you two about reading books with kissy covers in public... Kind of awkward. Haha. I am super excited for Boundless and Just One Day as well! Amazing post, you two. :) Sophiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02678009807863670317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019785638850450889.post-83895207824052471512012-12-29T14:18:26.221+00:002012-12-29T14:18:26.221+00:00I love Heather!!

Much to my pleasant surprise though, I really liked both! Also, Unspoken's cliffhanger... *glowers* Squee, I can hardly wait to read Boundless as well! Definitely one of my most anticipated books of the year!<br /><br />In regards to the covers, all of the ones you selected (Jasprit) are clasically gorgeous, and The Assassin's Curse is very original too. Rachel, I'm not a fan of kissy covers (oh, the shame to be seen reading one of those in public) but the cover for Finger Prints of You made me fall instantly in love with it. It's just so charming and eye capturing, and I'm desperate to purchase a copy of mine soon! Also, the cover for The Tragedy Paper is breath taking. :) <br /><br />Anyhow, I love this part 2 post!

Now I'm really looking forward to reading book 3 :) Oh, looks like I'll have to add a few things to my read-list... Size 12, Gone Girl, Dairy Queen, The Book of Blood and Shadow. Thanks a lot for the recap :)Henrietta @ Leisure Readshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15923185503681492201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019785638850450889.post-83651036591648933632012-12-28T19:29:07.247+00:002012-12-28T19:29:07.247+00:00First of all, I love the covers you chose!

I totally hear you though on the awkward covers at times, so I usually try to get those books for my Kindle so I'm spared the awkwardness since I read in-between classes in the hallways all the time. Also, I cannot WAIT for Just One Day, Haze, Isla, and This is What Happy Looks Like! :) Rachel, I'd want to be friends with Beatriss too, or probably Phaedra. If there's any girl I want to have my back, it's her. Also, Jasprit, I was one of the last people to jump on the Divergent bandwagon too, but I wound up loving it! I'm so excited for Book 3...whatever it may be called. ;) Wonderful recap, ladies!

The book I can't believe I waited so long to read would have to be Pushing the Limits. Fabulous post ladies, thanks for sharing. :)Aa'Ishahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06034750057312410821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019785638850450889.post-22421638313201880952012-12-28T17:30:15.156+00:002012-12-28T17:30:15.156+00:00Gosh, I love so many of these!

My favorite cover is probably Destroy Me/Unrave Me and Black City, although I didn't read the book. Glass Heart also has a gorgeous cover. <br />usually, the covers I'd hate to be seen with in public are urban fantasy... those awful, leather-clad heroines, usually with some beast or other at their side, or even worse, a vampire. Yeah, not something someone with a Master's in lit should be seen reading, lol. But you know, there's always my Kindle. :D<br /><br />Great post, you guys.

I've heard Severed was equally bad, so I'm holding off on that series entirely until all the books are out and I can just read them all in a row and not die of anticipation:) Not dying is good. Oooo and Warner is a great love-to-hate villain. I would nominate a certain someone from Shadow and Bone as well but won't mention him by name so as to not spoil anything for anyone.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199685365145765394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019785638850450889.post-16787106244858125202012-12-28T12:00:06.597+00:002012-12-28T12:00:06.597+00:00Ooh, Warner is a villain I love to hate too!

Wait until you meet The Darkling in Shadow and Bone. He's even worse than Warner in that he leaves you completely confused about your feelings for him. Seriously, I wasn't sure whether I loved him or I hated him!<br /><br />I've heard a lot about Unspoken's ending, so I'm not sure I want to read the book yet even though I've heard how amazing that book is. I have a feeling the ending would kill me too. <br /><br />I completely agree with the covers you've chose, Jasprit. They are so gorgeous to look at. I love the vivid colors. I could stare at it all day! :)<br /><br />Rachel! OMG! I just died looking at those pictures of Lucas and Jacqueline on that blog. The models are definitely what I picture Lucas and Jacqueline to look at. If they are a real-life couple, they make a gorgeous one. <br /><br />All the books you guys have mentioned in your most anticipated read of 2013 are in my list too. <br /><br />P.S Rachel, that comment on e-readers! I totally agree with you! :) <br /><br />I'm so glad that 2012 was a fabulous year in terms of books for you, ladies. I hope 2013 will be even more epic! :)<br /><br />I had a lot of fun reading this so thank you for this awesome post! :D<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019785638850450889.post-66574937325066968972012-12-28T02:09:15.216+00:002012-12-28T02:09:15.216+00:00"Let’s just say hooray for e-readers!" -..."Let’s just say hooray for e-readers!" - LOL.

I defi...Wow, another great round of books, you two! I definitely see a different side of Warner in Shatter Me, although I'm still firmly Team Adam! I still need to pick up the e-book though, and perhaps that will make me change sides... But I also can't believe you didn't read Divergent until this year, Jasprit! I fangirl WAY too much about that book, and am glad you enjoyed it so much. I also seriously need to pick up Gone Girl after all the gushing you've done as well, Jasprit. You both also have fantastic taste in covers! I hadn't seen the Australia cover for Boundless, but it is GORGEOUS! I thought the US cover was pretty, but this is so much prettier. And I also adore Taken's cover, that is especially beautiful. Like both of you as well, I dislike PDA on covers. I always have to hide those from my classmates and parents whenever I'm reading. =P Too embarrassing!<br /><br />Fantastic recap, you two! Hopefully 2013 will bring just as many fantastic books!Aneeqahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13352395407424623520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019785638850450889.post-86522772641483627722012-12-28T01:00:20.962+00:002012-12-28T01:00:20.962+00:00Yay for part two!

Wow, it looks like I really need to check out Meg Cabot's SIZE 12 series and Karen Marie Moning's FEVER series-- it looks like a reoccuring series in this favorites list! Those covers are absolutely gorgeous. I thought the US of BOUNDLESS was pretty, but the Australia version is just as gorgeous!
