    I love the description of Some Boys! I remember adding it before it came out but then I kind of forgot about it... and I had no idea that What Happens Next was about date rape! o.O
    I haven't read any of these before, though some of the covers look familiar...

    My TTT (also including 3 contemporaries)

    I have a few of these on my Kindle, but most I haven't even heard of. I added a bunch to my wish list - Some Boys and Torn Away sound great. Great list! =)

    I've been meaning to read Bright Before Sunrise for a while now. I think it's time to pick this up. :)

    YES to Maybe One Day and Bright Before Sunrise. Two books I really enjoyed that many haven't read yet. I still need to read Something Real. I've wanted to read it since I first heard about it. I'm not sure what's taking me so long, but I really need to remedy that... and SOON!

    My love for Something Real and What Happens Next knows no bounds. They will always have a place on my favorite shelves. I hope more people will read them, too. I had some issues with Bright Before Sunrise, but it's a beautifully written book.
    Great choices, girls!
