I hope you like Julia Quinn! I feel like a loser because I don’t much so far.

YAY for The Alloy of Law and Lola!

Also, isn’t that about your 20th copy of Eve? I must not be very cool, I only got one.

I got Audition as well (going on next week’s IMM though because I forgot it! oops lol) Looks very Center Stage-ish, no?

Oh my gosh YES IT DOES. I love Center Stage and still have The Way You Make Me Feel on my ipod because of that movie!

Is The Alloy of Law the latest Mistwood book? I still haven’t finished the first one although I was enjoying it. It was just too long for when I was trying to start it and then I completely forgot about it when it went back on the shelf. I need to pick it up again this summer!

I so adore that new header image. Brilliant!!

Oh you have Lola! Envy! :) Also, I’m glad you got Five Flavors of Dumb. One of my favorite books last year. :)

Great mailbox. I am eager to read Lola and the Boy Next Door. I really liked Anna and the French Kiss which was surprising because it was so different than the kind of thing I usually read. I have read all of your new Kindle books except Toads and Diamonds and enjoyed them too. Looks like you have some fun reading in front of you.
My mailboxes are here and here. Happy reading!

Every single review I’ve read on Lola and the Boy Next Door, has been a positive. I can’t wait to read it myself.
Also Audition sounds cute, another book on my wishlist!(:

I echo everybody else in hollering Lolaaaaaaaa! I can’t wait to read about her and Cricket.

Why am I tempted to poke that bunhead in Audition? I don’t know why, but I do look rather strange jabbing my finger at the computer screen.

Jess @ Gone with the Words July 17, 2011 at 10:11 pm

Oooh! Audition! I want that one! :D Hope you enjoy them!!

Myra @ GatheringBooks July 17, 2011 at 10:21 pm

Wow, you have such a luscious set of books. Most seem part of a series that I am yet unfamiliar about. Perhaps this is the great thing about IMM – introduces me to so many other books that I should grab right about now. =)
