ill join for the May read for the red queen book? I think that's what it's called. I'm actually going to buy it so I'll be here for it. though I think panic by lauren oliver is a really bad idea. way too many people dissed it. and like the most famous booktubers dissed it too. the plot looks really good but the book, apparently the main protagonist gets away with too much stuff. that's one of the comments I remember. I've heard nothing good about it but I know lauren kate isn't a bad author. its just panic didn't do as well as the others :(

Tamani: "One way or another, I'll watch her from a distance, silently and without her knowledge, if that's what it takes. And no matter how long you live -- I'll be around when you're gone.

-Illusions, Aprilynne Pike

I lost control, and a green wave of smoky energy burst from my hand and flew out in front of me. It missed the pipe completely, but vaporized the metal leg of the chair it sat on. Dust showered down and the chair went lopsided, dumping the pipe to the floor with a clang.

― Brandon Sanderson, The Hero of Ages
