Oh really? that's awesome! :) It has such a pretty cover in person! I'm really excited about reading it (starting it tomorrow).
Yay for income tax returns! Means I get to treat myself to a bunch of new books for my Nook! I got
.
Thanks :) They all look really good. I just finished Shiver and I really want to read Linger. Even though I heard its not as good :(

You'll meet some new characters in Linger who are really great.
I can't wait to read Incarnate!

For me, it was almost as good as Shiver. It was the third book, Forever, that fell a little flat for me. But, altogether it's a great series, one of my favorites :)

I would have been fine if she stopped at Shiver.
Heidi wrote: "I would have been fine if she stopped at Shiver. ..."
I would have, too, Heidi! I absolutely LOVED SHIVER. I can still recall whole passages of it without picking up the book. LINGER was alright, but FOREVER just really disappointed me.
Brooke- Yeah I read about a new character cole! People seem to like him so thats good, and yeah Incarnate looks so good. Plus the cover is really pretty!Bethany- Glad to hear you loved Linger! I hope to get to it pretty soon.. Uni just getting in the way of my reading :(
I'm reading incarnate right now and I'm really bored. I had very high expectations and can't make myself pick it up. On the other hand, I started an ARC of "the hunt"
and can't put it down. It doesn't come out until May, but you will want to pre-order it. Its great!

Me too! Thrift stores are my favorite. And I got all those for 6 dollars and some change because it was half off day. :) Yeah, I've heard The Alchemist is amazing, so I'm excited. :) I didn't really like the other book I read from that other, Veronika Decides to Die, so I'm hoping this one will be better.
