To-read Pile Help

Hey, everybody.  College starts in two days for me so I've been trying to decide which books from my to-read pile I should take with me.  Some of these have been in there since January, hell even October or sometime earlier for Beautiful Darkness--I remember it being on my shelf for a while last year and I still haven't finished it.  Anyways... this is essentially "my mailbox" [like the meme hosted at the Story Siren] (excluding NetGalley titles.  Add 10+ more books ><), and I was wondering if there any books which you'd like to see me review... or which you particularly recommend.  Please help :).





Yep.  It's a lot of books.  Some I bought, some I got from the RT Convention a while back.  But either way, I can only take maybe 6 of them with me.  Help me choose... pleeeasee??

Now I have this strange urge to take a picture of all the books I have to read, but then I might break down and cry. XD

So many books! I'm jealous! I enjoyed Clarity and really LOVED Heist Society. And I think Speak is one of those ones everyone should read. Good luck! Here's my IMM, if you want to check it out.

I'd love to see you review Beauty Queens! I haven't read it yet, but it's in my TBR pile as well.

As for books I have already read, I recommend Heist Society!
