text: Me too me too for Richelle Mead and I now a crazy fan! I may have shown up to a book signing wearing "little dhampir" shirt that I made. So many good ones on your list
  Ally and I would have happily worn "little dhampir" shirts to a book signing! Great idea! When we finally got around to reading VA at the beginning of the year, we really wanted to kick ourselves for waiting so long to read it.
  Finnikin of the Rock just blew me away. I went back to the library the same week to grab Jellicoe Road. I ended up buying all of her books; I plan to have a read-a-thon of all the ones that I haven't gotten to yet.
  I just love John Green. Looking for Alaska is a book I think about almost daily, and I read it over a year ago.
  I loved Maggie Stiefvater's wolves series, but I've yet to read anything else she's written. I own all her books though, so that has to count for something!
  Yes, it does, lol! The Raven Boys was such an incredible read; I'd like to check out the Wolves of Mercy Falls eventually.
  So many of these authors are on my TBR list. I haven't read a single thing by any of them, despite owning a few books by Richelle Mead, and Melina Marchetta. Hopefully I can rectify that soon.
  I think I set a personal record this year for buying books that I just had to own and not reading them. I hope to start off the new year right by reading all of them!
  You have so many of my favorites on your list! Melina, Maggie, John, Cynthia, Stephanie! I love them all!
  I am so happy that I read Cynthia Hand's Unearthly and Hallowed. After struggling to find a decent angel book, I fell in love with this series.
  I have Cynthia, John, Richelle on my list too! I like Maggie Stiefvater too:) ohmygosh The Wolves of Mercy Falls was absolutely beautiful!
  I keep seeing Shiver at the library, like it's sending me a message that I need to read it soon, lol.
  After all the recommends I've seen for Stephanie Perkins, I am going to have to check out Anna and the French Kiss.
  I was a little reluctant to read Anna because it really didn't look like my type of read, but after also seeing so many rave reviews, I gave it a try. It's such a fun, cute read! I hope you enjoy it, too!
  I'm in the same boat regarding the VA series! It's been on the reading list for too long - hopefully 2013 will bring book 1 my way ;) Same goes for Raven Boys! Hoping to get to my copies of Unearthly & Leviathan before this year's out *crosses fingers* Great list all around Ally & Lee!!
  VA is a must-read, as is the spin-off series, Bloodlines! I also have to read Leviathan; it's a favorite of Ally's.
  Happy to hear it! We've both been obsessed with The Raven Boys since we read it and cannot wait for the sequel.
  Stephanie Perkins is on my list as well. And there are several on here I already have or want to read. Great lsit! My TTT.
  Isla and the Happily Ever After is one of the books that I'm most looking forward to in 2013. I just love how effortless her writing style seems.
  I really want to add John Green to my new authors. Next year seems like the perfect time :) I also had my first 'meeting' with Stiefvater this year. I can't wait to read The raven boys.
  With several of them releasing new books in 2013, it's definitely going to be another great year for reading!
  I love John Green, and Jellicoe Road, and the Raven Boys/the Scorpio Races. SOOOOO good, and I agree Stiefvater writes male characters surprisingly well (except in Shiver/linger etc). Love your list! Here's Ours
  At first Jellicoe Road confused me a bit with the interweaving storylines, but once I figured out what was going on, I thought it was brilliant. Even after I finished the book, I couldn't stop thinking about it for days.
