Miranda (somecrazygingerkid) I know I'm trying to play catch up but it's hard when freebies get posted daily or I see a random good boom that I have to get. So far I've been good the past few days and haven't spent my Christmas amazon money hoping read more of what I have first :)

I have been buying a lot of my fave books as Kindle books when they go on sale. As a result, I know own several as both physical and digital copies! Hard to resist when they are super cheap and on sale!

Chiqui (chiquireads) | 68 comments Thanks guys!

Cheer Papworth (cheerest) | 67 comments A Face Like Glass by Frances Hardinge

I just bought this book and can barely put it down. Not my typical read...it has that Harry Potter kind of vibe, but the writing in genius, original and poetic without being polluted with obnoxious adverbs that make you have to reread every sentence to figure out WTH the author is saying...it's an easy, effortless read and a breath of fresh air. ORIGINALITY is in major surplus with this book.

Steelheart was recommended to be recently by another member and I put it on my to-read shelf. It has mixed reviews, so let me know what you think Karen.

I'd say it's worth the read, Cheer! It wasn't a huge page turner for me, but the story is really cool and creative and the twists at the end really make the book :)

The Death of Joan of Arc is a really interesting novella, I think one of my fave novellas ever! Don't you just love that series? I need to read the other novellas and the last book!

Nice! Score!!

I'm really interested what you think of Starters. I ended up liking it okay, but it wasn't what I was expecting. I know Karen really liked it. I am planning on rereading, because I remember loving the ending, and will want to read Enders. I read it as an ARC in March 2012, so I don't remember a lot of it.
