And the third is AWESOME!
Also, do you have Kindle? If so, you can download a prequel :)
I don't have a Kindle, although I think I might be getting one for my birthday in a couple weeks *keeping fingers crossed*I heard about the prequel, it's on my to be read list for when I do get my hands on a kindle

If nothing else, you can get the Kindle app for your computer and get it I think.
I just finished Ultraviolet by R.J. Anderson. It mostly takes place on Earth, but the last few chapters are on a space station. Does that count?

All my points that you have listed are right. I had 23 points before I posted for August. So my total now, including the 1 point for Across the Universe, should be 24.

I know! I met Beth Revis this past weekend at Decatur Book Festival and she said A Million Suns is going to blow us away. The ARCs come out end of next month. I hope I get one!
@Karis- I hope I can get my hands on one too! If nothing else, I am at NCTE in November and I bet they'll be there *fingers crossed!*
