  1. That's a lot of books in verse. I read two this year. Chasing Brooklyn and Glimpse. Was Hurricane Dancers any good?

    1. Ooo, Chasing Brooklyn is one of my favorites!! Glimpse was a little too dark for my liking. Hurricane Dancers was alright but not as good as her other book The Firefly Letters, which was amazing! I hope you'll consider being a part of the challenge in 2013! ;)

  2. I loved KARMA and The One and Only Ivan.
