I bought it for a re-read but on my kindle so I wouldn't have to bring the book with me on vacation. I LOVE this book, actually the entire trilogy is one of my favorites. Graceling is one of the books that got me interested in high fantasy. :)

I bought these right before or at the book festival to get signed! I am officially on a book buying ban now! ;) I have only read 4 of these so I now have an incredible TBR pile to add to my current TBR pile! Can we say "overwhelmed"! I have no clue what to read next! ;) Such a wonderful problem to have!

She has blogged about that, in 11\12 she started thinking abouthow soon both princess diaries and the mediator had anniversaries coming up, the fan mail she got made her want to revisit the characters and voila!... I thought royal wedding was pretty good, but have always been more of a die hard mediator fan, so can hardly stop myself from jumoing of joy now that Ihave it.

Ohhhh, Jenny found a great deal for one day only... She shared this on Facebook and I jumped on it!! Walk on Earth a Stranger (The Gold Seer Trilogy, #1) by Rae Carson is only $1.99 on Amazon right now. I just bought it even though I own the hardcover. I LOVED this book, probably my favorite in 2015.
