Did you win them or order them? Sounds like you have yet to read them. If you bought them all, what made you want to buy them?

Just remember after Destined for an Early Grave to read First Drop of Crimson then Eternal Kiss of Darkness then This Side of the Grave. But of course you already knew that. My bookshelf, iPod and eReader have those titles. Okay so I'm a bit obsessive.

Um, ditto. Now I feel less like a freak, but maybe we both are, just a little bit. :D Obsessed we are, but I can handle that one.. (:

malala - wow. Enjoy these. Good luck with your exams, but it should go well, you have something to reward yourself with after you finished them, so motivation shouldn't be the problem, right??! Btw, so want to know the answers to engs questions. Have you read any of the books before? How did you get them? And why? Obviously b/ they're awesome, but how do you know that?? (:

I've read HTTG in Spanish (the only one available in Argentina). It's called Besos de Sangre here (Blood kisses). I loved it, and because I have anxiety issues (and well, who can resist Bones, right?), I ordered all them from Barnes and Noble.com. Except for Unbound and FDOC, because I bought them at a local bookstore.

This is what I usually do. I read a book available here and if I like it, I buy it/the rest of the series from the US. Oddly enough, the books I buy from there are cheaper. Even with express international shipping. And international titles take forever to get published too (if they ever get published, which isn't often).

Yes, yes, I knew that. I've read it on Jeaniene's site. Don't worry I'm obsessive too. I have my books in English separated from the ones in Spanish. Why, I don't know. I just do that. :P

I even have some books in both languages. That's crazy, but I like reading the books in their original language. Sometimes, the translations are horrible... Of course, I don't speak English as fluently as I would like, but I manage to understand it.

Now that I think about it, I have 3 copies of HTTG: One in Spanish, one in English, and another one in English on my Kindle. Wow. 8-)

Thank you! I'm definitely motivated. There's one famous Chapter 32 that has my interest from all the good references I've read about it. :D

I know what you mean. I also read the first 2 in german and they were called "Blutrote Küsse" (bloodred kisses) and "Kuss der Nacht" (kiss of the night). The others is also bought in english because I couldn´t wait untill the were published in german.

And you´re right here it is the same the english books are cheaper them the german ones. I believe it is becaue they have to translate it.

Yes, I guess that's why the books are more expensive. But Spanish translations are usually so (so!) bad, that even if getting the books in English were expensive, I'd still buy them from the US.

They even translated "Kitten"! I hate that, because the nickname makes no sense in the spanish version...

I love that bookshelf!

Well, I've read OFITG, and... Oh my! Now I understand why everyone went crazy about chapter 32. My mom was hanging out in my house while I was reading it, and all I coud think was... "Thank God she doesn't speak English". If she did and asked me to lend her the book I'd die of a serious case of blushing :lol:

Here are my babies with their Spanish brother :P

They're beautiful...

Sorry for the poor quality. I took the picture with my phone, because my camera's battery decided to take a brake. ;)

oh my... your books look so clean and beautiful... I noticed mine are in pretty bad shape from reading (I've had to repair HTTG, AGE DFAEG and EKOD multiple times) I think I need to replace them. I love the international covers too... they can be very interesting visually...

I had the first 4 as ebooks first, and then hubby bought me the paperbacks for the holidays from ebay. He said there was quite a bidding war for them!
