Starcrossed I will talk about this book until the end of time. I see some people haul it, but they never get around to reading it, and it breaks my heart.

Embrace This is another one that seems to be on alot of TBR lists, but not enough people have actually read it. I am currently re-reading this gem, and will have a review for it in the next couple of days. 
Half-blood I do think …
