    I hate that they de-Asianized Silver Phoenix, but I also hate that they took away all that beautiful pink. :( The paperback looks so plain and boring. At least the inside is still the same, which is what counts. :)

    Can't wait to see what you think of Ten Miles Past Normal, definitely looking forward to your thoughts on that one:) I need to read If I Stay and Where She Went, I'm out of the loop on those and it's unacceptable! Fantastic group of books Alison!

    You library seriously has some amazing reads. I have to search really hard to come up with some reads. Hmmmm maybe it's time for a trip back since I haven't been there in a while... Good idea!

    Nice stash as usual :) You never have a bad IMM and I always feel my envy surface. It's good envy since it's all about books!

    I bought Silver Phoenix the other day from half-priced books. It was the only way to get the old cover, which I love! I just finished Ten Miles Past Normal today and I loved it! WHat a great read!

    Woo hoo, great book haul!:) I keep seeing Ten Miles Past Normal around, I'm really curious about it! I like the cover of Shine, can't wait to hear your thoughts about it! And I have Shadowspell on my TBR pile, but I never got around to reading it. It sounds great, I can't wait to see what you think, maybe I'll move it further up in the pile.
    Happy reading!:)

    What a great mailbox! I have the Pon books on my to-buy list! I also already have Wings downloaded (hoping I can get to it soon). I can't believe I haven't even bought If I Stay yet, and now I need to buy Where She Went as well! Ten Miles Past Normal was such a great book; I loved it! Enjoy all of the wonderful reads!
