Went to Books-a-Million and picked up that I'd been wanting.

[Michelle]

Books-A-Million is my fave (physical) bookstore!!!! :)

[Shell]

Yesterday I bought hardcover copies of On Writing and The Regulators :D

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

Awesome Michelle! I have yet to read The regulators, I do have the book though.

[Victor]

I bought Catching Fire in hardback yesterday. I can't wait to reread it before the movie comes out!

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

Victor I have yet to read the first one, but I need to get The Stand or Game of Thrones finished before taking on another extra since I have reads coming up in September.

Thanks for the reminders Rachel. I remembered The Innocent and had forgotten Still life with Crows. I also have the Passage. Sure wish I could find a paperback, ugh, maybe amazon.

Rachel- I cannot rave nearly enough about the sheer brilliance of King's On Writing, or adequately describe my passion for it. It's inspired me deeply. I've read it three times (so far,) and I walk away with something different every time.

love the free stuff!! :D

I think amazon is your best bet, so you're not paying too much money... i am el cheapo now. I remember paying $20+ for a book and thinking i was getting a deal; now I get angry paying $10.

[Heather]

I recently received Dare Me by Eric Devine as an ARC so excited to read it

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

Yea Alondra I found them for a decent price on Amazon, so that will be the route I will go.

[Victor]

I also bough Phoenix by Chuck Palahniuk awhile ago. It is a 30 page short story for 99¢

Thank you, Rachel. I hope it brings you much pleasure, when you get to it.

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

Yay ordered The Passage in paperback through a 3rd party through Amazon and got it for $1.94. How awesome is that. Now I can take the hardback and sell it back to the book store once the pb arrives. Makes me happy.

[Rachel]

Thanks Dustin :D

[Michelle]

Bought Bioshock: Rapture & The Fall (The Strain Trilogy) from Amazon yesterday :)

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

Awesome Michelle! Enjoy!

[Sam]

I am shocked I actually went into Waterstone and didn't spend a penny today.

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

Sam is that your local book store?

[Sam]

Janie. Yes it is sadly the only major bookshop that the UK has now. Normally it has three floor a coffee shop and is a place to lose yourself for hours.

[Dustin]

You're very welcome.:)

1984 by George Orwell

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

Sam I love places like that. We have a place called Recycled Books and it is in an old Opera House. It has 3 floors of Books and yes I could lose myself in there for hours as well.

[Shell]

Last week I ordered Blackbirds... should be a good read.

My city doesn't even have a bookstore, let alone that big lol :) The best we have is a Books-A-Million an hour/15 mins away

That stinks Michelle. I could not imagine not having a place to get books. Amazon would certainly get a lot of my business.

[Sam]

That's awful couldn't imagine not having a book shop. In the UK a lot of out supermarkets have books sections too which are very competitive. However, there is nothing like having a shop just for books.

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

I whole heartedly agree with that Sam. Although it is nice to have grocers that sell books, book stores will always be best!

[Michelle]

Yeah, I order frim Amazon like crazy! So much so that I'm on a first-name basis with the mail carrier! ;)

[Kit★]

I might have to hit up a Goodwill today, my horoscope in the newspaper said 'purchase something that makes you feel good' so I might do just that, lol :D

Hehe, good one, Kit!

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

Blood Trinity
Fear Collector
Flesh Eaters
Blood Games
Cause of Death
Soul of the Fire
Night in the Lonesome October

[Holly]

Nice haul Janie!!

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

Thanks Holly. I love finding books that I was not even looking for. LOL

[Tim]

Wow guys, I haven't been reading nearly as much as most of you guys have been.

I just finished The Shining earlier this week. I liked it but I think I'm ready for a change of pace, most of what I've read recently has been horror. It goes without saying I'll be reading Dr. Sleep when it comes out later in September.

I went on Amazon and did a search for best of 2013 and ran across this book called The Golem and the Jinni by Helene Wecker. It reads like a fairytale set in the beginning of the 1900's. The description labeled it as historical fantasy. It seems interesting, and it's available at my library on base, so I'll give it a go.

[Kathryn]

Tim, I've been wondering if The Golem and the Jinni is any good. Will keep an eye out for your review! :)

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

Tim I am so ready Dr. Sleep! muhahaha, I just hope that I am totally appeased by it. I would hate to be disappointed. I totally understand you wanting a change of pace I get like that too. So I myself have bought 2 books lately that really are not what I would normally purchase and those are Soul of the Fire, and Drums of Autumn. They sound interesting and were both on the sales rack so I thought why not.

I hope you enjoy The Golem and the Jinni. I must be honest I have not heard of it, but would be interested to know what you think. So enjoy!

[Cassie]

Drums of Autumn is the 4th book in a series! Outlander series!

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

Yea thanks Cassie, I noticed that when I got home from the UBS. I always tend to look books up here after I buy. LOL You can't always get all the info from the book itself. GR is a God Send!

[Cassie]

True!!! Just wanted you know! I haven't read them but heard they were good!

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

They do sound good. Anything that has a portal of some kind involved, or time traveling intrigues me, but the historical part of it, I don't know lol. I don't generally read those but from the ones I have seen, and it really is a long series, they had some great ratings, so we will see I guess. I will have to go back to the UBS next week and see if I can't coral up the rest of them. The one I got was out on the sales rack for $1. After reading the synopsis I could not pass it up. Then to find out about the series, aiye aiye aiye. LOL

Soul of the Fire is part of a terrific series, as well, Janie. I have not read the entire series (up to book 7 or 8, I think,) but I loved what I read, and Terry Goodkind's a good writer, IMO.

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

It seems to me that everything has to be a series now Dustin. I really just like to be able to read a single stand alone book. Trilogies are fine, but when they go and go it starts to get tiresome. This is why I break them up when I start a new one, rather than cramming them all in at once. So does this series also have to be read in order? Or can they be read stand alone?
