Goodreads Summary:

Ambrose Young was beautiful. He was tall and muscular, with hair that touched his shoulders and eyes that burned right through you. The kind of beautiful that graced the covers of romance novels, and Fern Taylor would know. She'd been reading them since she was thirteen. But maybe because he was so beautiful he was never someone Fern thought she could have...until he wasn't beautiful anymore.

 Making Faces is the story of a small town where five young men go off to war, and only one comes back. It is the story of loss. Collective loss, individual loss, loss of beauty, loss of life, loss of identity. It is the tale of one girl's love for a broken boy, and a wounded warrior's love for an unremarkable girl. This is a story of friendship that overcomes heartache, heroism that defies the common definitions, and a modern tale of Beauty and the Beast, where we discover that there is a little beauty and a little beast in all of us.
 

TTT #10: Authors I've Only Read One Book from but NEED to Read More

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme brought to you by The Broke and the Bookish where people share their top ten things according to the topic of that week.

This topic was a little hard for me because I have a habit of binge-reading an author's books. If I'm reading my first book by an author and I end up really liking his/her work, I will look up his/her other books and just jump right into them. Hooray that I managed to find ten authors for this topic! They're mostly authors who write contemporary standalones ;)

1. John Green - This must be shocking for a lot of people but yep I've only read TFiOS. I do own all of his other books, I just haven't gotten around to them yet.

2. Amy Harmon - Making Faces was beautiful, I need to get on her other books.

3. Trish Doller - I really enjoyed Something Like Normal so I'm looking forward to reading her other books.

4. Emery Lord - Open Road Summer was so much fun I absolutely cannot wait for The Start of Me and You.

5. Liz Czukas - Ask Again Later was pretty cute so Top Ten Clues You're Clueless is definitely on my list of books to read. 

6. Jenny Han - I'm not that interested in her Summer trilogy but I'm eagerly anticipating To All the Boys I've Loved Before #2.

7. Holly Black - The Coldest Girl in Coldtown is one of my favourite reads this year so yes please more Holly Black please.

8. Sherry D. Ficklin - Queen of Someday really surprised me and now I'm just drooling after Queen of Tomorrow.

9. Danielle L. Jensen - I read Stolen Songbird earlier this year and I so need to get my hands on Hidden Huntress asap!

10. Susan Ee - I recently finished Angelfall and loved it! I'm going to wait a little to dive into World After so I don't have to wait too long for book #3.
