  2. Well, about the cover of Luminous, I think it's pretty but the butterflies freak me out, they always have, I'm anti-butterfly usually.

    I'll be sure to stay tuned from when you feature Christina Mandelski, I want to read The Sweetest Thing so, :)

    And I didn't know there was a new book of the Vampire Princess of St. Paul, I got Almost To Die for somewhere in my house, I meant to read it but I keep misplacing it, I'll try to find it again.

    Re: Demonglass - you'll love it. It's awesome. But I've been calling dibs on Cal all over :) I'm ready to fight for him.
    Otherwise, the wait for next book will kill you but Demonglass is just too awesome to pass up.

  5. I know what you mean about the Luminous cover. It's pretty, but I have no idea how butterflies would fit what's happening in the novel.

    The Sweetest Thing actually made me crave cupcakes. I read the first chapter and then had to run to the store and buy cupcakes.

    This haul is epic. Enjoy your new books!

  7. I need to check out Rage & Because I Love Him. I teach kids that have had way harder lives than the typical happily ever after kind. Enjoyed.

    If you get a chance, stop by my IMM

  8. I really like the cover of Luminous! I got it this week as well, and thought it was really good. <3 (Once you get about halfway through the book, the butterflies make sense)

    Awesome books this week, James! Happy reading! :)

  9. Hi James. I found you through YouTube and I'm following your blog now. I like your style!

    But I Love Him sounds so good. I just found out about that one yesterday. I don't know about the Luninous cover either. "Pretty but ugly" sounds kinda right.
