You probably ...Bookish Hobbit, I hope you enjoy it! You probably won’t be half as scared as I was though. You’re brave :)<br /><br />ComaCalm, I hope you love it!<br /><br />Celine, Haha, well, I am a shameless book pusher so I’m happy to hear it’s working on you :) The pictures are great. <br /><br />Leanna, I adore The Thirteenth Tale. It’s definitely different and less story-within-a-story, but Picture the Dead has a great Gothic vibe. <br /><br />Annette, I hope you enjoy it!<br /><br />The Slowest Bookworm, Haha, yes! I hope you love it! <br /><br />T. B., Thank you! I’m so happy you enjoyed it! Good luck reading it at night, you brave girl :P The scrapbook feel was great and really made the story feel more real. <br /><br />Alex, Haha, I’m so glad you liked my review. I was wondering if it wasn’t maybe a little *too* fangirly :P This is certainly not a book where I felt like I had already read this story a million times before. I hope you like it!<br /><br />Kelsey, Yes! Another person who has read and liked it! :) I’m so happy to hear that. I hope more people do read it. <br /><br />Nina, Haha, yep, I really am. :P I’m so glad you liked my review though. I hope you do check them out and like them! <br /><br />Danya, Oh I hope you do check them out! Hm…I think it depends on what you’re in the mood for. Tighter is more of a contemporary/ghost book, Picture the Dead is more historical/ghost, (both keep you guessing), Where I Want to Be is more contemporary/sad and deals with relationships, and The Julian Game is hm, you might actually like that one a lot, it’s very “psychological” with the topics it touches on. I think with your psych background you would appreciate a lot of the characterization and events in that one. I loved all of them though, plus she’s also written a bunch more that I haven’t gotten to yet. <br /><br />Alexis, Thank you! I hope you enjoy the book!<br /><br />Logan, So deserving! Don’t be shamed <i>away</i> from my blog, be shamed <i>into</i> reading her books! Or, be excited. Shamed is such a sad word. Be motivated! :) <br /><br />Book Geek, I’m so glad to hear that!! Thank you :) I really liked how the pictures went along with the story. It made me feel like I was actually reading Jennie’s scrapbook, which just made the whole experience seem even more real.Small Reviewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16072352095510905410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955420282479112508.post-89805764812579018952011-05-09T13:05:10.748-04:002011-05-09T13:05:10.748-04:00I seriously love your reviews!
