  3. Of those I've only read Withering Tights (reading group girls also loved it) and Blood Ties. I'm currently listening to the sequel to BT, Blood Ransom. BT is really exciting.

  31. Ooh, Name of the Star! I really want to read that! I was in Waterstone's yesterday and noticed that it's 1/3 off in there at the moment, but I'm on a self-imposed book buying ban until I've read a few more of the partly-read books I've got at home :( So NotS will have to wait.

    I love when I find other UK book bloggers through IMM :) New follower here!
