Robolobolyn's Universe of Books said...: You had a good week! I'd be murdered if I bought that many books. (My family only somewhat supports my book obsession).

And, thanks. You reminded me that I have to get around to reading the third book in the Warrior Heir trilogy, The Dragon Heir.; December 12, 2009 8:31 PM
Wendy said...: Awesome book, Kristi! I liked Fallen too. :); December 12, 2009 9:01 PM
Lizzy said...: I haven't read fallen yet, but I've been hearing good things about it. Are angels going to be the new "it" topic?; December 12, 2009 9:31 PM
Justine said...: I loved Sisters in Sanity! I look forward for your thoughts on it :); December 12, 2009 9:47 PM

Casey said...: Great books this week! I got a copy of Fallen today and the cover does feel strange. Its really neat though. Enjoy and happy reading!; December 13, 2009 2:20 AM
Book Dragon said...: I've got all three of Ms. Chima warrior books but got bogged down with Dragon Heir. Not sure why but I need to try again. Thanks for reminding me.

Very nice list.; December 13, 2009 4:46 AM
Lauren said...: I'm so jealous of the US cover of Fallen. Ours is a paperback, and it has the same picture (which is lovely) but the hardback looks even nicer!; December 13, 2009 9:02 AM
Ursina said...: What a number of books! I might buy that many books in one year but not in one week. That's what you get for working 21-30 hours a week and not getting paid a penny (ok, I save money on the gym membership I don't need). I really need to check out some of those! Great post!; December 13, 2009 10:53 AM
vvb32 reads said...: forgot about faery rebels. i need to read that one!; December 13, 2009 11:05 AM
Kathy Martin said...: Dang! I just started Fallen and forgot to pet the cover. I have all four of Chima's books on my TBR pile. I need to get to them. You got some great books this week. Enjoy!; December 13, 2009 11:07 AM
alterlisa said...: Saw where you had bought "Gone". You had better get "Hunger" or you will be so pissed. Great-great YA story and I loved it. Can't wait for book 3.; December 13, 2009 11:48 AM
hcmurdoch said...: Great list of books! For when you've read them all and are doing reviews, check out this link with FTC disclosure logos that are kinda' fun: http://blog.louisgray.com/2009/12/ftc-disclosures-made-simple-for.html; December 13, 2009 12:21 PM
R.J. Anderson said...: I watched this with my two sons and my seven-year-old was quite excited and impressed when FAERY REBELS came up! My four-year-old was more impressed by all the books, however. "She has a lot of books!" he said. "More than we do!" (He may be right about that.)

Then he said emphatically, "I don't like faeries." And he's been repeating it ever since. So, having been so callously betrayed by my own offspring, I am all the more glad that you chose to feature FAERY REBELS: SPELL HUNTER in your video! Thanks again!; December 13, 2009 2:50 PM
Sarah said...: I really enjoyed Lovestruck Summer. A cute and quick read! Very romantic. :D; December 13, 2009 4:01 PM
Raíla Soares said...: Oh, you're cute. hahah!

Can't wait to get my own copy of Fallen. <3; December 13, 2009 4:41 PM
PolishOutlander said...: The different cover and title for EON makes it look an entirely different book! Wow! I have yet to read that though even though it's been on my mind for awhile. Happy reading!; December 13, 2009 5:32 PM
Jessica said...: Fun! Lots of good stuff in there!; December 13, 2009 6:08 PM
Rebecca said...: Great books you got this week, they all look really good. Especially Sisters in Sanity. Hope you enjoy reading all your books.; December 13, 2009 6:19 PM
oO Mariana Oo said...: Nice books, I really want to read Wild Roses, and I like more that cover ^^.; December 14, 2009 12:45 AM
Serena said...: I'm looking forward to reading fallen, if the hubby gets that book for me over the holidays...though he does have a lot to choose from!

Happy reading.; December 14, 2009 9:02 AM
Marie said...: Hey Kristi, I have been wondering where you got your bookcases. They are nice and they look like they could hold a lot of heavy books. They look sturdy.
