Two more deliveries today that I got basically for free with a gift card from Amazon:
Sunflowers by Sheramy Bundrick
Good Eats The Early Years by Alton Brown

That takes me up to 18 so far.

Another delivery from BookDepository:
Not the common great deal of 50% off but still better than I could find elsewhere like Amazon or Borders.

They're new and come with no charge for shipping or handling often at great prices like up to 50% off sometimes and usually within a reasonable delivery time. A great site for book buying addicts like us.

I brought home 12 used books from the library this weekend as well as another new one from Borders: Blood and Chocolate by Annette Curtis Klause. 15 books in the first week, I'm right on pace, huh? :-)

Yeah, you don't have to worry about the batteries going out in the middle of a good PAPER book.

Picked up Tantalize by Cynthia Leitich Smith from Borders with a 30% off coupon.

That makes two, two books. Hahahahaha. >:-)

Kelli, Michele, I can make you both feel so better, so not alone. On my shelves I have twice as many unread books as Kelli does. And I do mean that literally, 1137 to be exact. I just love to collect books just as much as I love to read them.

X. Jones - of Scotland Yard by Harry Keeler

How's that for an X? :-)

P.S. Remember, whoever gets the next "A" also has to pick a new genre theme, too.

That's my resolution for 2010. To stop letting anybody make me feel embarassed or foolish or ashamed about buying and collecting books! So there! lol

The Valley of Fear by Arthur Conan Doyle

[Told you I'd use a Sherlock Holmes' case :-)]

What a nice surprise. Some Girls Bite was delivered from Bookdepository today. That starts me off for December with one, one book. Hahahahaha. [Accompanied by thunder and lightning:] (Please tell me you some of you guys still remember Sesame Street ;-) )

A Taste For Death by P.D. James

Today's the first day of December. Anybody bought anything new yet? Well what are you waiting for! lol
It's been fun reading about everyone's purchases for the month so let's keep it going.

The Rose Rent The Thirteenth Chronicle of Brother Cadfael by Ellis Peters

One Corpse Too Many The Second Chronicle of Brother Cadfael by Ellis Peters

The Language of Bees by Laurie R. King

You called it. With the couple I bought from the library yesterday, I'm up to 102 for November. :-D

Yep. :-)

Justice Hall by Laurie R. King

Brought home 7 more used books from the library. That brings me up to 92 books for the month. Yikes! :-)

This was the only strictly 'E' title I could think of that didn't have an article at the beginning. That reminds me, do articles (a, an, & the) count ..."

Actually, we are ignoring the articles. That should certainly make future titles easier.

Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
