Wow! Did you buy them from a local bookstore or an online site?


I haven't read Sapphire BLue yet, I really should read it! I also have Emerald Green to read as well!

I haven't even finished Ruby Red (I'll probably knock it out tonight) and I'm already dying to read Sapphire Blue. I didn't not think I would enjoy this book as much as I do, because I'm not normally into time travel, but this doesn't have have a sci-fi feel to me. It has more of a paranormal-historical fiction-contemporary YA vibe to me which I think works for me. Definitely loving this book ha.
Just got
on Kindle for $1.99! I really enjoyed Wither, so I'm hoping I'll enjoy this one too, despite the mixed reviews :)

I bought this one a few months ago when it was on sale then. So I'll read it with you when you get to it!

I just had a huge success trip to the library...and pssst..David...look what was finally checked in so I snatched it up!

^ AMAZING HAUL!!!^
Seriously, Eleanor & Park is my fave Contemporary OF ALL TIME!! The Fault in Our Stars and Fangirl are also both really good contemporaries! Just finished Not a Drop to Drink, really good gripping dystopian! Loved Never Fade, A Monster Calls, and More Than This--seriously you just picked up a ton of 5 star reads!!!

Eeep, Jenny!! Have you not read this one yet? I didn't realize that. Squeeeee!!!!

Nope I have not...I have been waiting for it to be checked in at one of my libraries for months--its always checked out! But I have to read it, cuz like I said, its one of David's faves. I trust his judgement, but more than that, he reads a ton of books that I kind of cram down his throat, so I figured I really need to return the favor and read some of his faves!
