O_O, The Enchanted Life of Adam Hope sounds really good, Maria! I hope you enjoy all your wonderful reads and I am glad The Deadly Sisterhood arrived safely. Have a great read! :)
ReplyDeleteLooks to be a bunch of great books. The Deadly Sisterhood in Particular looks to be intriguing. Such an interesting time and people. Sophie's World also looks so very offbeat and interesting. I am putting both on my TBR. I am really curious to read your thoughts on them when you have read them.
ReplyDeleteNew follower! Requiem has been on my TBR list for a long time! I've heard great things about it! Happy reading!

Very nice selection of books here. I see that you and me have some things in common. I'm pretty sure that the Megan Duncan was on sale in the Kindle Store a few weeks ago. I like Vampire novels.
