Read Prep for a cover I liked and Uglies for a cover I disliked... I hated Prep and kind of liked Uglies. Considering I usually love most books that I read, it's kind of funny that I picked two books I just didn't care very much for. Oh well! So that is 25.8 for 25 points, and a total of 95 points overall now. Thanks!
