    I got the german Version of “Survive” by Alex Morel :)

    Do you know that “Ruby Red” is written by an german Author? But the english Cover looks so much better than the german one… ;)

      I’ve never heard of Survive before. I’ll have to check that one out. o:
      It is?! Oh my goodness, no wonder the cover size is different from other US hardcover books. (Not that explains anything. :P) Thanks for the info! ;D

    Defiance was just an okay read for me, but I adored The Girl Of Fire and Thorns. I really should get around to reading the sequel since the third book is coming out this month. Fire Study was my least favorite Study book, but I still enjoyed it and I was happy to hear that the author is writing three more in that series! Happy reading. :)

    I am very tempted to go on Amazon to look at books, but I know I shouldn’t. Why are there a lot of good deals on Amazon? My poor wallet. ;P

    I was soo tempted to get Ruby Red because how can I say no to a girl part of a family of time travelers? (Though, I did say no. Lol.)

    I’m jealous of your copies for the Fire and Thorns series. They look so much more pretty than my paperbacks.
    I don’t know what it is about Fire Study, but I just can never get through it. I loved the first two, but every time I try and read Fire Study I put it down half way through and never pick it back up :(. I have no idea why, I just can’t get through it. I hope you have a better time reading it than me though :D.
