They all look fab books. I own Boys Dont Cry but I don't know about the app. The memories of sleepless nights and puke covered clothes are still too vivid in my memory from the real thing 4 years ago lol.
ReplyDeleteI have entangled on pre-order! Can't wait!
Funny, I was just talking to someone on Twitter and I told her my favourite two books that I'd read over the last two weeks were Boys Don't Cry and Entangled :) I'm definitely looking forward to reading the other two though!
