Follow that Blurb Reading Challenge Update 29

Ok, I read Prophecy of the Sisters, Sandry's Book, and Bumped for the YA journey. Elsewhere and Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist came in, and I got a blurb from Carolyn Mackler, so going to read The Future of Us, and I think I might read Forgotten after that, and then 13 Reasons Why. Maybe, maybe not. Not sure quite yet, though!

For my Murder Mystery journey, Killing Me Softly and Call me Irresistible came in, but it's not a real mystery type book, so I'm going to read either BoneMaster's Daughters, or Piece of my Heart, maybe both, since one is blurbed by Steven King, the other by James Rollins, so that'd be nice to swing it back around to where it started! Yep. Happy reading!

Here's the start up post. This is a meme hosted by Reading With Tequila.

Blurb: Bumbed has it all-a fascinating yet frighteningly believable world, seamless world-building, great humor, and sophisticated wordplay. The characters are sexy and complicated in the best ways. The book will start many a discussion and. alas, raise more than a few eyebrows. I suspect mothers will like it just as much as the daughters. Bumped is the 'breediest' novel of the year." -Gabrielle Zevin
