i just bought SJM's A Court of Thorns and Roses series .. for only $12 each !!?? this was from Kmart, and while yeah, they are not the original covers - these same covers are selling for double the price (each) at Dymocks and Boffins. and second hand bookstore prices were nowhere near $12 either.

they also had the boxset at Kmart, which included book 3.5, for the same price if you buy all 5 separately. but i decided not to go for it since i'm happy to skip book 3.5 for now, plus the only boxset left was not exactly in mint condition.

i ordered the Throne of Glass boxset last week though - so i'm waiting for that to arrive so i can read them all first, before starting on this series.

anyways. it was good to finally catch up with Madelene .. and likewise Aubree, who is doing really good
