    Prom and Prejudice looks cute. I'm looking forward to reading your review of The Iron Witch. I'm on the fence about that one.

    Dude, I hadn't even heard of the urban fantasy titles. Thanks for putting it on my radar. Though, I will wait for the reviews before I make any purchases.

    I hope you love Prom and Prejudice. It was adorable. Don't expect too much from it - I think the people who've been disappointed with it have been looking for the social & political satire that is so elemental to Austen's writing. Prom & Prejudice is light fun and a sweet tribute to the original story.

    Gah! I needed to buy The Iron Witch and
    A Brush of Darkness like yesterday! Totally want to read those, but now I'm happy you got them because then I read your thoughts before I decide.

    Congrats on you win! Happy Reading, Jenny!

    I got Griffin Rising, too! I'm so excited to compare notes on that one.

    I'm intrigued to see what you think of Prom & Prejudice, too. I'm probably the only person that really disliked The Lonely Hearts Club, so I'm interested to see how you feel about this one :)

    I'm really curious about that "A Brush With Darkness". I saw it on Nicole Peeler's blog and was cracking up at the synopsis. The minature unicorn sounds awesome. I think I'm going to have to get that one for the Kindle.
