You MUST read Legend! I c...Danny, OH MY GOSH DANNY! You MUST read Legend! I can see you loving it. Day is so worthy of swooning :) I did love New Girl! I can’t wait to read your review now.<br /><br />Ruby, Hm…is your princess link tingling? Because *I* am planning on reading Cinder later this week. <br /><br />Wendy, Thank you!<br /><br />Em, Thank you!<br /><br />Lauren, I don’t think I’ve ever read a cyborg romance before either! Oooh, Legend is SO good!<br /><br />Heather, I’m not sure how I’ll like the Hush, Hush series either. I do love the covers :P But I’m willing to give them a shot. My sister really wants me to read them too (and she also wants my copies!) Good to know that the third book is very good. I hope you love StarCrossed as much as I do! Ooh and please do read Legend! Fantastic!<br /><br />Nikki, I hope you love Cinder! Aw, if you cried in The Iron Knight then I probably will too! I cry so easily with books :) <br /><br />Danya, hehe glad to hear you wonder too :) I decided to send Shadowcry back unread. It looked SO good that I’d really rather just wait until the whole series is published so I can read it in one shot. <br /><br />Alex, I can’t wait to hear what you think of both of them! Rebecca is awesome, but I’m curious to see what you’ll think of New Girl having not read Rebecca first. <br /><br />Kat, I know, every single review for Cinder is glowing! I hope you like it too! Oh good, thank you for your feedback! What you said is <i>exactly</i> what I was hoping to achieve by sharing how I got the books. <br /><br />Alyssa, Yep, I have no self-restraint :P You really MUST read Legend. So, so good. :)<br /><br />Jen, The alternating narratives threw me off for a while too, especially since the originally doesn’t ever show anything from Rebecca’s perspective. It was really out of left field, but once I got used to it, I really enjoyed that peek into Rebecca’s side of things. I’ll keep an eye out for your review!Small Reviewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16072352095510905410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955420282479112508.post-40189414174118843692012-01-09T23:23:24.288-05:002012-01-09T23:23:24.288-05:00I’m so sorry to everyone who received my “replied”...I’m so sorry to everyone who received my “replied” email and then came back here to see no reply! Apparently blogger decided it did not want to post my reply. So here’s take two :)<br /><br />Alison, I hope I love The Iron Knight, too! I have a feeling I will. I liked Becoming Marie Antoinette a lot, but I think you really need to be an Historical fiction fan and maybe even a non-fiction fan. Hm…it used to be I read probably about 50/50 adult, but ever since blogging it’s dropped off to probably 10% or less. <br /><br />Paige, Oh good! I hope you love Silence as much!<br /><br />Natalie, I’m sold on Ash’s POV, but for some reason I keep putting it off too. I even think I’ll like it, so I’m not sure what my hang up is here. <br /><br />Pica, Oooh, I can’t wait to read your thoughts on Cinder! If you like it, then I’ll probably like it. I see what you mean about the finished cover. It is a lot more smoothed out. I’m so excited to see your Legend review too! It really was a standout book. I think I might like Ash’s narration better too. I’m really not upset at all at the idea of a Meghan-less book. Yay for Elizabeth C. Bunce!!<br /><br />Bookish Hobbit, All you really need to say is Jeremy Irons and I’m interested :) The Borgia books portrayed the family A LOT nicer than history does (and I imagine the tv show) .<br /><br />Madigan, I think I need to get myself on that diet as well. There really is no getting around the Cinder buzz. I feel like that’s part of the reason I’m so reluctant to read it. Buzz kills my interest. <br /><br />TG, I hope you like Becoming Marie Antoinette! Like I said to Alison, it’s very detailed, almost non-fiction. I definitely recommend the Carolyn Meyer version, too. Oh good, I’m glad I’m not the only one who doesn’t like the Cinder cover!<br /><br />Karen, Aw, “ex-blogger” :( I’m glad you’re still around and commenting. Please read Legend soon! I think you’ll like it. <br /><br />Asher, Everyone Is loving Cinder so much! Ok, ok, maybe I’ll cave :P I know what you mean about the bad vibe for the sequel. Sometimes I’ll only read the first book in a series just because I loved it so much and I don’t want to taint my reading experience with a less than fantastic sequel. If you read Shadowcry, let me know if it ends on a cliffhanger? I can’t deal with getting involved in <i>another</i> open-ended series, especially one that seems to good. OH MY GOSH. YES! Read Legend!! I’ll be shocked if you don’t love it. I don’t know what I’ve been waiting for with The Iron Knight, really, I’ve had it in my hands so many times and I still haven’t read it and I have no idea why. I hope you love StarCrossed!<br /><br />Bonnie, Ok, I trust you. You know your fairy tales, that’s for sure! The Greek bookmarks are very cool! Want one? I do want to buy Legend now! But I’m trying to limit myself for now :P <br /><br />Kathy, It sounds like Cinder really pulled off the sci-fi/fairy tale mash up well. Please do add Legend! It was great, I thought. I understand wanting to wait though. Especially since the ending is closer to a cliffhanger than not. <br /><br />Katrina, I hope you enjoy New Girl!<br /><br />Roro, Thanks for stopping by!<br /><br />Kat, Thanks! Glad to see I’m not alone in my curiosity :)<br /><br />Annette, You’re welcome! :D<br /><br />Dazzling Mage, I’m intrigued too. Hesitant, but curious. <br /><br />Cialina, Thanks!

Seriously...Cinder is made of AWESOMEANDOTHERTHINGS. Seriously, Small, it's this jumble of so many different things but IT WORKS. It's, like, a mash-up of dystopian, sci-fi, paranormal, and all with an Asian element to it. It's everything it says and even more! I think you'll get passed the creepiness factor relatively soon once you start it:) I have New Girl too and I'm getting ready to read it pretty soon.<br /><br />I really liked Hush, Hush. Mostly because of Patch. But I felt like... it should've ended after that, even with the loose ending. Just because I got this vibe that the series was going to be dragged out into something UNlikeable. Maybe I'll give the second one a try, anyway, though. Congrats on winning!!<br /><br />Great minds, apparently, think alike, because we both picked up Shadowcry. Only I haven't read it AT ALL yet. And I'm glad to hear you LOVED Legend, because I've been really curious about it! Also, what in the HECK have you been waiting for, neglecting The Iron Knight? Even though, in my opinion, it wasn't as good as TIQ, it makes a fantastic conclusion! Oh, and I picked up Starcrossed as per your constant chatting about it everywhere. Hopefully I'll love it as much as you!<br /><br />Have an amazing reading week, Small!<br /><br />- Asher (from <i><a href="http://www.paranormalindulgence.net" rel="nofollow">Paranormal Indulgence</a></i>)Marathonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12998824096375362353noreply@blogger.com
