message 601: by Evelynn (last edited May 19, 2014 11:57AM) (new)

Evelynn (authorgirlev) | 450 comments I'm anticipating quite a few books to be coming in the mail in a week or so... ^_^ In the mean time, I've borrowed four books from a good friend of mine, the first two being re-reads for the sake of remembering the setting for the next two books. ...And also for just re-reading them, because it's been a while. ^_^

Yahweh's Chosen (Dahveed #1) by Terri L. Fivash Dahveed Yahweh's Warrior (Dahveed #2) by Terri L. Fivash Yahweh's Fugitive (Dahveed #3) by Terri L. Fivash Yahweh's Soldier (Dahveed #4) by Terri L. Fivash

I must say, the third book is humongous. Seriously. It's 705 pages (well, the text itself goes to pages 702) long, and these are big pages with small print. O_O I'm a bit intimidated.

Stephanie (stephanie-jo) | 174 comments I just read A Breath of Eyre (Unbound, #1) by Eve Marie Mont . It reminded me in someways of Lost in Austen, but it was a good book. Can't wait to read the other 2 in the series.

Hannah (bookwormhannah) | 215 comments So I grabbed both of Julianne Donaldson's books off the shelf during employee appreciation days last week...purely by impulse; couldn't remember if they were to-reads or not, but just couldn't resist the covers. I read both before 24 hours rolled around. ;)
