My group that wanted to get together to discuss our re-read actually talked about what would be next, and there are a few things, but really it's just a unique story that needs no follow-up. I know what you mean about The Raven Boys-I have to re-read the last one so I can remember what's going on!

I immediately checked our library databases, unfortunately we don't have that one yet. :( Will definitely recommend it for purchase. Is Scorpio Races a stand-alone novel? I wouldn't want to wait as long as I am waiting for next few instalments of The Raven Boys series! :)GatheringBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04477710897574769648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-91664629845991771332015-11-23T18:02:10.912-07:002015-11-23T18:02:10.912-07:00So glad you liked Toys Meet Snow-it is lovely I ag...So glad you liked Toys Meet Snow-it is lovely I agree.
