Whoa, yeah, the Ivory and Bone beginning definitely sets some kind of tone! I really like the Shattered one too because it's so true, how things can seem so different on the outside vs the inside. Also, I agree with Daniela on her favorite lol.

I really like I&B and Shattered too! <br /><br />Funny enough, I HATE starting a new book (this is akin to my reluctance to start a new show, I assume). I usually have a feeling of dread, and I assume this is why I have always been so drawn to series? Also, I am weird. <br /><br />(Also, that lady REALLY needs to find her fake ex/scam you, huh?)
