Reading Roundup – Most anticipated books of 2014
Book Reviews , Reading Roundup / January 3, 2014

There are several books I’m really excited about for 2014.  In no particular order, here are the ones I’m most excited about.

Independent Study will be released on the 7th of January 2014, and I have preordered it from Amazon.  The final book in the trilogy, Graduation Day, will be released on the 3rd of June 2014 and is also available for preorder from Amazon.

Cress will be released on…
