  4. 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. :)

  36. 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!:)
