    1. Tadaa, gone, your name has disappeared ;) You guys are always talking about Alex and the killer endings! Well, my aim is 50 books this year. So hopefully I can ace the challenge *fingers-crossed*

    2. EXCUSEZ-MOI?! xD Oh trust me, you should put Delirium at the top of the list and finish it before all the assignments come in because once you start reading, you're more or less mentally-handicapped and Alex-loving and all sorts of emotions :D I should show you the screenies of Shi Le's reaction when she finished Delirium haha!!

      Delete
    3. EEEEE, seriously?! I am totally conflicted now ._. Should I read it or should I not :O I bet Shi Le was like "What the Hell" when she read the ending of Delirium, so I better have the sequel on hand :D
