Also got at the library, Wolfbreed and The Firstborn

Has anyone else here read Winkie? I found it in the fiction section at Barnes and Noble but to me it read more like fantasy.

I started reading that one but never finished it. LOVED what I read, though. (I know, strange that I wouldn't finish.) I wonder if they placed it in fiction because it's more about society than about a talking teddy bear...

I loved Winkie! I'd agree that it ended up in fiction because it's more social commentary with the bear just being the chosen vehicle. It was excellent.

Ooh, I love Jacqueline Carey. I hope you liked this one. I loved it. Interesting to hear a brand new narrator. I was scared I wouldn't like it as much, but in the end I adored it and can't wait for the next.

I love Ann Aguirre and loved Doubleblind. I'm going to pick up her newest under her Ava Grey name. I'm not remembering the title right now.

I also just read both of the Hunger Games books out so far in the trilogy. I adored them. I don't think they can be called UF, but I didn't care.

I only bought one thing, Club Deadby Charlaine Harris, but I found Zombies for Zombies, New Vampires' Handbook, Vampires, and The Vampire Archives. I didn't write down the names of the authors, sorry I was in a hurry when I decided to jot them down.

Did you know that her third in the series MAGIC IN THE SHADOWS is released this next tuesday, November 3rd? I was able to get a pre-release copy and it is awesome! Hope you enjoyed the rest of the book!

I found at the library a wonderfully hilarious read by John Connolly titled, The Gates. I also got High Bloods

I have recently grabbed now I just need to read them before I buy more on the 3rd :)

This week I picked up from Borders.
I bought from the internet. Waiting in anticipation for it to come in.
I'm borrowing from my mom.

I think it's been a good book week.

I ended up not even finishing the first book. I got bored with it and returned it to the library.

I didn't know Aguirre was starting to publish under another name. I'll have to check that out.

Well, not every book is for everyone. :o) I thought the book really picked up about chapter 5/chapter 6 for me, and I think the series keeps getting better every book.

It is her first published novel, though she has extensive short fiction published.

Hope you find other books you love. :o)

I red Dhampir a while ago. And it was good, but the second and third are my favorite. :o)

My birthday is the end of this month and I'm definately asking for a truck load of different books, if not that some B&N gift cards. :D I can't wait!!!

I just picked up .

From the library, I brought home .

Patient Zero A Joe Ledger Novel and Diary of a Wimpy Kid

Just picked up Graceling from the library (YA) and Charline Harris' Grave Secret, her latest Harper Connolley (sp?) mystery. Her writing is so tight and fluid without any bit of overblown prose. I love it. Of course I first have to get through the rest of Walking Dead by CE Murphy and Magic in the Blood by Devon Monk (also both library books). My poor store bought books have to sit neglected because of due dates. If there's ever a cataclysm and I'm forced to remain in my house indefinitely I'll have plenty of books stored up to read (LOL).

In November I've so far read:
1. Gil's All Fright Diner by A. Lee Martinez
2. Urban Shaman by C.E. Murphy
3. Thinking Straight by Robin Reardon
4. Manhood for Amateurs: The Pleasure and Regrets of a Husband, Father and Son by Michael Chabon
5. All He Ever Wanted by Anita Shreve
6. Burned by Ellen Hopkins

currently reading: Matchless by Gregory Maguire

Planning to read:
Crank by Ellen Hopkins reading now
Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood
Where Men Win Glory: The Odyssey of Pat Tillman by Jon Krakauer 5 stars
I Love You Beth Cooper- Larry Doyle one star

Let us know what you think of the Krakauer book, Julia. I've been thinking about buying it for my husband.

I loved Ravenous!!! Hope you enjoy it too!

I just bought and

Melodie,

You asked in #175 what I thought of Where Men Win Glory. I *loved* it, but author has a political POV I agree with. All people don't. There are lots of reviews here and on Amazon that may help you decide whether it's for your husband.

I just received from Amazon

ice by linda howard and the dome by stephen king.

Rhonda, if you started The Dome, how is it I'm debating weather I should buy it or not?

Theresa, I started the first book in the series & just couldn't get into it. I ended up putting it on hold back in October & have thought about picking it back up, but all of my library requests have hit at once.

Unleashed
Mean Streets which will come after 1/11/10

North of Beautiful by Justina Chen Headley

I think I bought a couple of others too.

I just made my first December book purchase at Book Depository...
and Me and My Shadow by Katie MacAlister

I also just bought and on B&N's website today.

I bought Joey Hill's A Mermaid's Ransom. I'm a big fan of hers, although I prefer her Vampire series. But this is much more PNR not to mention the romantic erotica.

My library is having its annual used book sale tomorrow. Hopefully I'll be able to find something good.

Happy book-hunting, Jen.

I just bought...

From Half.com

I bought (well, it was free for the Kindle) Wit'ch Fire and I am loving it. It is a four book series so I guess I won't be reading anything more this month.
