I got to read 2 of the new FIM books today!!!!!
« on: February 14, 2013, 01:42:57 PM »
As I stated in another thread earlier this week, I work in a warehouse of the publisher of the new FIM books.

Today I found two of the new books at work! I was able to read them both during my break!  :yippee:

What's weird is that I work in the Returns Center. I deal with the books that the bookstores send back to the publisher because either they have too many or they are damaged. Normally, I don't see new releases until a couple weeks to a month after they come out. I never see books before they are released. Certainly, not a month and a half before! That's why I was so SHOCKED to find them! This morning I went to put a couple books away in a location. When I looked in the box I was surprised to see Twilight Sparkle staring back at me.  :blink:

These are the two that I found today.

My Little Pony: Welcome to Equestria!
http://www.amazon.com/My-Little-Pony-Equestria-ebook/dp/B00AFGKT1E/ref=sr_1_12?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1360875140&sr=1-12&keywords=my+little+pony

This book introduces the read to all the different cities/areas in Equestria. I loved the story in this one! After Princess Cadance and Shining Armor got married and moved to the Crystal Empire, they started getting invitations to visit places all over Equestria. With each city they visit, PC and SA send a post card to Twilight telling her about what they did there. Their last stop on their journey was Ponyville. My favorite part was when PC and SA were in Manehattan. Shining Armor liked riding on the Underground Pony Express Train - The Maneway.  :lol: I guess that's the FIM version of the subway.

My Little Pony: Meet the Ponies of Ponyville
http://www.amazon.com/My-Little-Pony-Ponyville-ebook/dp/B00AFGKT0A/ref=sr_1_10?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1360876813&sr=1-10&keywords=my+little+pony

Since Amazon doesn't have a picture, the cover is light/sky blue and shows the main 6 and Spike.

I was hoping that this book would include some of the background ponies. Maybe reveal the name Hasbro chose for :muffin: Pony.  :P No such luck. It just covers the main 6 and Spike. It covers just basic things about each character. Where they live, what they do, what they like, etc. It does use the word "everypony" in the story, which I thought was cool. With Spike it even mentions his crush on Rarity. The story segways nicely between characters. For example, "Fluttershy is very quite when she talks. Not like Pinkie Pie."  :lol: One thing that really caught my attention was something they said about Rainbow Dash. "Rainbow Dash can fly so fast that she changes the weather."  :| Uh... that's not quite right..... Doing a Sonic Rainboom isn't changing the weather. But that's the only flaw I found.

Tomorrow if I get the chance I'm going to see if I can find Twilight Sparkle and the Crystal Heart Spell. I really want to read this one!

I'll let you know if I find it.

Welcome to Equestria sounds really cute! What a sweet concept. Thank you for sharing!

I pre-ordered Under the Sparkling Sea because the artwork looked so unique and interesting, so I'm excited to see how that story pans out.

How fun! The "Welcome to Equestria" one sounds adorable. I'm interested to hear what you think of "Twilight Sparkle and the Crystal Heart Spell" if you get to read it (160 pages! XD)
and if you get to see the "Under the Spakling Sea" one you must tell us about Aquastria!

Oh! Just looking at those amazon links I saw one I don't remember seeing before
Pinkie Pie and the Rockin' Ponypalooza Party!
It sounds like it might be really cute too. :)

Oh, I missed Twilight's book is 160 pages! My break is only 15 minutes. I don't read that fast. :P I could probably still read a chapter or two.

Under the Sparkling Sea isn't going to be released until April 23, so it's going to be a while before I see it. If I do find it early I will let you guys know.

I didn't find Twilight's book. :( We probably just haven't gotten it yet. I did make a list of the cities in Welcom to Equestria.

Canterlot
Cloudsdale
Appleloosa
Manehattan
Everfree Forest
Ponyville

The story also mentions, but doesn't give details for, Dodge Junction, Fillydelphia and Las Pegasus.
