Blood Countess and Diamond City are both on my TBR , but I haven’t heard of any of the rest of these. Wildfire and How to Build a Heart both look amazing though.

I’m reading How to Build a Heart right now and really enjoying it. I also recently finished Don’t Read the Comments, which I thought was such an interesting read about gaming and online harassment.

I hadn’t heard of Almost American Girl, but that title definitely intrigues me! Another one that’s not on your list but that I’m definitely going to be reading is Don’t Read the Comments by Eric Smith!

Don’t Read the Comments is definitely on the list!! I just didn’t include the cover. Because of the way my site displays on mobile (two photos side by side) vs. web (three photos side by side) I try to choose either 6 or 12 covers. Sometimes the choices are tough!!
