message 43: by Pollyanna (new)

2518609 Yeah it was great, I want to try and finish it today because of the read for the month but I don't think I will.

I think I may have to start using my library card more though now because I need to save for Xmas lol

1939651 Inkdeath came out in Hardcover last year in October. I don't know if it is out in Paperback yet, I bought the Hardcover.


message 39: by Julia (new)

2517329 Inkdeath? When did that come out? The last books I bought were Conan the Magnificent and a Star Trek (geeky) book from the library Saturday.


message 38: by Linda Grace (new)

1939651 Me too! I can't wait to read it. I feel like we should do another count down challenge. What do you think? I didn't read as much as I wanted and would like another shot! :)


message 37: by Jenna (new)

2087640 That's funny----I'm about to buy Catching Fire....I bought The Hunger Games Thursday and I'm on the last 50 pages. I don't know what I'll do when I've consumed Catching Fire.

I also bought: Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and Gargoyle or is it The Gargoyle? I haven't read it yet but its about a man (this is on the back flap of the jacket) who has an accident and is visited by a woman who scuplts gargoyles...


message 32: by Linda Grace (new)

1939651 I just bought Catching Fire yesterday. Hopefully I will get to read it soon. I am in the middle of 3 books right now.

I just got Catching Fire and it was an amazing read. This series is really good and fast paced. I loved every page of it!


message 29: by Katie (new)

1928123 Okay so I went crazy this week with book buying. I got Not So Snow White, Love The One You're With, The Wish List, Every Boy's Got One, 13 Little Blue Envelopes, Fairest, All-American Girl, The Ashleys, Lirael, and Artemis Fowl. Oh and I got them all at thrift stores so I probably spent less than 20 dollars on them all. =]


message 28: by Lauren (new)

1940488 Oh, My, Goodness. Last night at 9:00 I purchased Catching Fire. By 7 am this morning I had read the entire book getting up only for bio breaks. If you have read The Hunger Games then you MUST go get the sequel! I know its only the second day its been out, so while i'm not surprised, im still frustrated that i have no one to talk to about it! please do yourself a favor and read this series!!!! sooo much to analyse and discuss!!


message 27: by Ashley (new)

257698 Yesterday at Target, I got two new books. "Mr. Darcy, Vampyre" by Amanda Grange and "Loose Girl: A Memoir of Promiscuity" by Kerry Cohen. They both look like really good books.

1939651 My husband and I went to Borders last night and he bought me the entire House of Night series! I love having complete series on my bookshelf. We also bought The Hidden Staircase and Leven Thumps and the Gateway to Foo to donate to our local library. They were doing a drive at Borders while we were there.


message 19: by Katie (new)

1928123 Okay I thought I would add some new books because I was at Target today and I just couldn't help myself. I bought The Eternal Kiss which is 13 vampire short stories and Dark Secrets by Elizabeth Chandler. =]

2173681 Instore or online, that is the question... last week I bought Strange Angels by Lili Saintcrow. I hardly do my book shopping outside of a webpage since book stores I have a hard time saying no to books. But today amazon shipped Immortal by Gillian Shields out my way.


message 13: by Kristen (last edited Aug 02, 2009 06:21PM) (new)

327471 I just bought Ballads of Suburbia, Curse of the Blue Tattoo Being an Account of the Misadventures of Jacky Faber, Midshipman and Fine Lady, and Under the Jolly Roger Being an Account of the Further Nautical Adventures of Jacky Faber with a gift card I got from my work buddies on my last day Thursday. :) I've read all the Bloody Jack books, now I'm collecting them!

message 11: by Jenna (new)

1377990 So I went a little crazy today,but oh well I found some really good deals (YAY for Memorial day sales!)

I bought

The Golden Compass,The Subtle Knife and the Amber Spyglass

then I bought Revolutionary Road,(I usually don't like to get the ones with the movie tie in covers,but that's all I could find so oh well)

Then I bought Coraline by Neil Gaiman and last but not least

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.

So that was from just the bookstore I then went to the thrift store and bought about 13 other books,but how can you pass up books for 20 cents?


message 10: by Jenna (new)

1377990 I know what you mean Michelle I have been buying so many books lately that I think only other people who are avid readers would understand. I can't help it,every time I walk into a book store or even a thrift store I can't help but walk out with at least a couple new treasures.

I'm really excited for summer through so I can get through all the new additions to my collection!


message 9: by Michelle (new)

1854878 so it would be kind of embarrassing to tell someone who isn't an avid book reader but since you all are im not ashamed to tell you I have bought over $300 worth of used books in the last few weeks with graduation money. I'm SOOOOOOOOO excited for summer, so I can read them all


message 8: by Cait☮ (new)

1526739 The last book I bought was Atonement, because I loved the movie. I have on order The Reader and will also be buying the Time Traveller's Wife when the Reader comes in. :)

I'm trying to expand my reading beyong YA. It is SO HARD! (Plus, university doesn't exactly look excited on YA for reading lists... :( )


message 5: by Adriana (new)

2262570 The last books that I bought were Wake and Thirteen Reasons Why. I really loved that book. Glad I decided to buy it.

I'm still looking for good books out there, so if anybody finds a good one that I might like, please tell me? Thank you.


message 4: by Jenna (new)

1377990 Addie,

You will have to let me know what you think of "The Time Travelers Wife" I read it recently and have been wanting to chat with someone about it.

I seriously love buying books I get so excited when I come home with all these great finds!


message 3: by Addie (new)

1689574 I've bought a lot of used books lately as well.

The other day I bought 1) The Reader by Bernhard Schlink, 2) Ptolemy's Gate by Jonathan Stroud, 3) The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger (which I am SO excited to read), and 4) The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde.

And a few weeks ago there was an annual used book sale at my local library where I picked up 1) Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice, 2) My Name is Asher Lev by Chaim Potok, 3) Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom, and 4) The Pleasure of My Company by Steve Martin.

So...yeah. I totally go crazy once in a while! I wouldn't have it any other way.
