1380938 Hey Maria,
Thanks for accepting my friend request. I'm writing this slightly bleary eyed after staying up most of the night reading Magic Study, then starting reading Fire Study when I promised myself I'd go to sleep. Ooops...it was just that good.
I don't think I will ever me more thankful to Amazon as it recommened your books after I bought Fire by Kirstin Cashore.
Thankyou so much for writing such a fantastic series, I can't wait to see how it ends!!
xoxox


1973374 Thanks for the add, Maria. I just finished Magic Study last night - another can't put down until finished just like Poison Study. I can't wait to start reading Fire Study to see how everything turns out.

Take care,
Lenore
