Over Christmas, I was lucky enough to receive a number of wonderful gifts (thank you!), some of which included these books. I remember reading the Infernal Devices after I'd read the Mortal Instruments, and liking these three more than the original six. Also, these covers are gorgeous. This series is called Princess Academy, and is… Continue reading Christmas Books
