Oh I so want Shattered Souls. Would kill for it. Good books. A little jealous, but in a good way. Come check out my mailbox over at Livre De Amour-Books of Love Blog.
ReplyDeleteI am obsessed with the BDB books! I was just thinking of re-reading them. Very jealous of Cracked. I've requested it to review it, but I don't think I am going to get it. I hope that you enjoy your new books!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe they gave you a DVD ! How awesome. I read Water for Elephants over the summer and I'm not sure if I want to see the movie. What with the animal cruelty and all.
ReplyDeletewater for elephants!! woohooo!! i'm jealous!
ReplyDeleteWhen I first started up my blog, a friend suggested I read Water for Elephants - I haven't gotten a copy yet, though, because I don't like to have the movie covers for my books. I'm picky!
ReplyDeleteI hear it's really great, though, so I hope I can find an edition with a non-movie cover soon.

ReplyDeleteI see the BDB novels and I sign in contentment (is that even a word?), anywho, I loved Lover Eternal, and Lover Awakened, but there is something kind of special about Lover Revealed, even though it's not my favourite book of the series, and I didn't like the first time I read it, I love it now. So, enjoy!!
