    I'm so glad to see Half Bad included - it deserves the attention! :)

      I just placed a hold at the public library for Half Bad. I've read over half the books on this list but not HALF BAD, yet.

    I've got a lot of reading to do. Where did the year go?

    I haven't read any of these! I rarely get to new books when they are first released (except for audios). I keep hearing rave reviews of Poisoned Apples.
