    Great collection! I loved Fairest... that was a really neat book. I like nearly everything of Gail Carson Levine's.

    Don't know most of them, just Games of thrones and Enchantment. Looks like you're into fairy tales re-telling these days! I'll give it a try someday.
    Enjoy your readings!

    Melissa - I fixed it! Thanks for the heads up!

    Madigan - I have only read Ella Enchanted and loved that so I thought of getting this one. It was only a $1!

    Little Miss Becky - I am currently reading Tighter and it is very interesting so far! And 100 Cupboards just sound so magical to me I had to get it. It was also a bargain - a $1.

    Touloulou - Yes, I actually asked on a post for fairy tale re-telling recommendations. I have been wanting to venture out with more genres. I liked Beauty a lot so I'm excited to read the rest.

    I read Fairest years ago and remember loving it! And where did you get Game of Thrones for 3 bucks!? I recently got hooked on the tv series and now I kind of want to read the original book. Nice IMM :)

    Great books :) I am *dying* to read Beauty - it sounds so good! I have Robin McKinley's Pegasus on my shelf, though, so I'll have to read that first.

    Life After Jane - I enjoyed Orson Scott Card's Ender's Game so I'm excited to read this too. It was recommended to me by a fellow book blogger so I can't wait to dig into it.

    Amber - I liked Beauty a lot so I want to try to read Pegasus now!

    Kristin, MiaandSofia, Katie, Zakiya- Thank you.

    E - I have never heard of Adele Griffin before actually. Shame! Haha. If you could recommend any more of her books let me know. I am liking Tighter currently.

    Chelsey - Beauty is my first book from MicKinley and I really enjoyed it! Oh and I highly recommend you check out the show if you liked LOTR!

    nlmars - I did enjoy Beauty! Would you recommend any of her books?

    Jacinda - Me too. I absolutely am enjoying the tv show!

    Natalie - I got it at a used bookstore. It was featured there and was on display. They usually have brand new books of popular novels. So I was lucky to have found it there!

    Alexia561 - I haven't read it yet so I'm excited to dig into it! I'm glad to know you liked it.

    Kristina, Comacalm - Thank you!

    Come link up your bargains at BBB! $3 for a new Game of Thrones-- wow, what a deal! I haven't read any Martin but I plan too. I really liked Fairest and all the others I would've nabbed too. Yay, for bargain books!!
