Read on for 15 of our favorite reactions to Rebel of the Sands (and our reactions to those reactions…#inception):

Is there anything more beautiful than falling in love with a book that your friend recommended you?

@AlwynFJH Got buried in a sand storm reading #RebeloftheSands. Meant to only read a few chapters before bed, but couldn’t stop.

True: there is a lot of sand in this book, and the desert setting is awesome.

DAMN IT. WHY DO I NEED TO SLEEP? I CANNOT PUT REBEL OF THE SANDS DOOOOOWN HUHUHU! SO GOOD! @AlwynFJH @PRHGlobal @penguinrandom

Motion to eliminate sleeping from the list of basic human needs?

I finished Rebel of the Sands. I am crying. It is so perfect. My heart. My everything.

It’s ok to cry at perfection. In fact, we encourage it.

It’s impossible to write anything that seems worthy after getting into #RebelofTheSands. I hate you, WIP! *curses the sky* #amwriting

Step 1 after finishing this book: recruit friends to obsess with you.
