Cat said...: Pretended I was doing something else and watched the video instead (muahahah!) since I saw the list of titles you got.

I can't wait for DARKLIGHT! Jealous!

I am a little over half-way through THE LOST SISTER and loving it! I was so over the moon for SISTERS OF MISERY so I was so happy when this came in the mail on Thursday!

I didn't really like LOOKING GLASS WARS. :( I just couldn't get into that particular Alice-type world. I'm a purest when it comes to Alice. :) Hope you like them though! Very nice hard cover editions you got there!; July 26, 2009 10:07 AM
Lauren said...: Wow, you got a ton of great books this week. I love the cover of Darklight and Hex Hall looks fantastic!

I received Secret Society recently as well. The cover is really pretty, and I hope the content does not disappoint me. I want a story about corruption, not whiny rich kids.; July 27, 2009 12:24 PM
