    Enter me if it's int, ok? :3 My favourite one is Speechless by Hannah Harrington. It's the most simple cover on the words, but it's simply so powerful for this one! http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13069681-speechless

    I have several but I must say I absolutely love "Throne Glass" by Sarah J. Maas (http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7896527-throne-of-glass) and "Defiance" (http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11410430-defiance) by C.J. Redwine mainly because they're so simple but at the same they are so mysterious.

    I'm follower #500! I feel so special!

    I liked The Forsaken (http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12987192-the-forsaken). The cover design is really unique and I love the symbolism in how it relates to the book. I loved the story too. Check it out! It's a great new dystopian. You can also read my review of it on my blog. I'll be having a giveaway for it soon, too, so stop by and enter! Thanks for the giveaway!
