    In 2012, I think I am most looking forward to BITTERBLUE. I seriously can’t wait to return to the Seven Kingdoms!

    That being said, I’m also really excited for both NEVER SKY and BORN WICKED. I’ve heard great things about both, but if I had to pick just one, I’d go with BW. It was going to be my birthday present to myself, but hey, a signed copy wouldn’t be too shabby 🙂

    Thanks for the giveaway, Miranda!

  • Dot Hutchison

    I was lucky enough to get an ARC of Under the Never Sky and absolutely loved it! So I guess what I’m looking forward to more is Born Wicked, because it’s all new and shiny 😀
