The Iron King was in my mail today. I have added a few others to the next two Media Center orders. Want to borrow my copy of Firespell?

I would love to. I am not loving that story collection that I told you abut earlier in the week and so I am between books. Thanks.

I am planning to start Beautiful Creatures tonight.

How did you like The Iron King and Firespell?

I've seen both of those in a couple of blogs and have been thinking of adding them to my TBR list.

Irish - I loved both Firespell and Iron King. I am now awaiting additional books in both series. I highly recommend both! I fell in love with the characters in both books even though they are very different. If you like fantasy they are sure to please!
