    How funny...I'm not very familiar with any of the books you read in August. And I thought I knew everything out there.

    Thanks for the comments! There are some awesome books out in September & LOLA is definitely top of my list!

    @Jacinda - Hunting Lila is great! It's not out in the US but you should be able to get a copy pretty easily on TBD.

    @Nina - I must buy a copy of Entralled soon. Each story is a paranormal road trip. Sounds so good! :)

    Daughter of Smoke and Bone is a book I really enjoyed. I read it in Denmark and it totally rocked my holidays:)
