Aw you're most welcome Heidi! I'm a firm believer that books (especially ebooks) shouldn't be expensive!

@Valerie- Thanks so much!!! I love chatting with all fellow readers, regardless of whether you read my books :) I just like book people because we have something in common!

message 1916: by Red (last edited Jan 22, 2014 09:18PM) (new)

Red (littleredreader) And I just bought Sapphire Blue (Precious Stone Trilogy, #2) by Kerstin Gier . I wasn't going to buy anymore until next paycheck, but one) I'm a liar to myself when I say I won't buy anymore and two) I'm currently reading Ruby Red and totally loving it, and already know I'll need to read the next one soon. So I'm glad it only takes a couple days to ship here ha.

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.

I must read the Ruby Red series, I've heard endless great things about it and I love time travel and fantasy.

The Knife of Never Letting Go (Chaos Walking, #1) by Patrick Ness


message 1931: by Jenny, Always smiling! :-D (new)

Jenny (juliababyjen) | 12932 comments Mod
^ 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!!!

I pre-ordered Unite Me The Shatter Me Stories (Shatter Me, #1.5, #2.5) by Tahereh Mafi and Ignite Me (Shatter Me, #3) by Tahereh Mafi


message 1934: by Jenny, Always smiling! :-D (new)

Jenny (juliababyjen) | 12932 comments Mod
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!
