I think I can assure you that if you didn't like Book 1 in the Rae Carson series it doesn't really ever get much different or better. I enjoyed the books fine enough but I wasn't bowled over by them. You are fine with not continuing on.

Also, boo to The Heir. Boo forever I say!! Haha :p

Lovely list, ladies! And again, SO GREAT to meet you last night, Nicole!!! Yay for Philly book friends!

All of these are true for me too, Stephanie! Except I actually read all of the Twilight books (you're not missing out, though). I suppose I do have every intention of someday reading both War & Peace and The Godfather, but if I'm being realistic I should just acknowledge that it's never going to happen!
