Well, the library book sale was a disappointment. It was $5.00 for a box of books, which would have been nice IF the had books I was looking for. I ended up getting some Keri Arthur books, but it was for a series I haven't read the first book for. The majority of the books I picked-up were cozy mysteries for my mom. I'm pretty much cut off from buying any books until after Christmas unless I find something new.

I downloaded and bought , , , and .

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.

I just bought...

From Half.com

Happy book-hunting, Jen.

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

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.

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

I just made my first December book purchase at Book Depository...

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.

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

ice by linda howard and the dome by stephen king.

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.

Lullaby for Morons by Ronald Keith Siegel 3 1/2 stars

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).

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

I just picked up .

From the library, I brought home .

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

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

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

This week I picked up from Borders.
I bought from the internet. Waiting in anticipation for it to come in.
