            So, I've seen this in another ( I can't remember which now, unfortunately) and thought it was a great idea to do a monthly feature on the best books I've read during the month.

            For now on at the end of every month, I'll blog about the books I read during that month.

                  Characters Related:

                  • Best Male Character - Dimitri from Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead. I really like Dimitri. He's deadly but he can also be incredibly sweet to Rose.

                  • Best Female Character - Rose from Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead. I think Rose is a great character. She's impulsive but she grows more and more in each book of the series and I can't help admiring her for the sacrifices she does for those she loves.

                      • Best Opening Line - "There's a big difference between death threats and love letters - even if the person writing the death threats still claims to actually love you.
