It’s a marvel you manage to do this every single week Giselle! I’m not sure how you do it, but it’s incredibly helpful, so thank you so much for putting this together! And there are so many fantastic books here, but I’m most excited for The Walled City and A Thousand Pieces of You. 🙂

I can’t wait for A Thousand Pieces of You! I’ve preordered my copy and everything – now just to count down the hours till it’s delivered Tuesday afternoon 😀
I didn’t know Crashland was coming out this week – I hope that means Twinmaker is in paperback. I want to read the series, but not enough to pay the hardcover price, lol.
