Thanks Lauren! I like it so far. This will be fast read for me.
My books I ordered still haven't come yet! It's been like 2 weeks! I run to the mailbox all excited every day only to be crushed by disappointment when there's no package in there for me :(

I blame Goodreads. I was bad before joining...but not this bad. It's as Hannibal Lecter says- We covet what we see everyday. fffptpfttttsfpff
*That was supposed to be Lecter's scary sound...but I have noooooo idea what letters to use to make the noise...lol

It takes over two weeks for a book to get to me, when I live in Texas, from the time it shipped. I don't understand that. Oh well.

stir of echoes was such a great story! hope you enjoy all of your books :)
Wow everyone has gotten some great books! I love seeing all the book titles floating around lol! WOOT! But then again, who does not like new books. So gratz to everyone who got some.
Kit and Kathryn, I have to agree on the waiting on books. When I ordered Darkest Minds, I had to wait so long I thought it got lost somewhere. And it is so hard to be patient. I also agree the USPS needs to improve a lot. I think they just don't care sometimes. It is irritating!
Thanks Rachel. I was looking forward to most of those books I ordered. I go to Book outlet and just start looking and find all kinds of books that sound good. And they are all bargain prices and I love that, so I don't end up spending too many books.

Wow Veronika, nice haul!! Those are some great books. I can't wait to start the Stone trilogy. I have Ruby Red and Sapphire Blue right now. I will snatch up Emerald Green soon.
Sweet, I ordered Ruby Red during Christmas but its on back order so I don't have it yet, but I got Emerald Green in the mail last week. I can't find Sapphire Blue with a cover to match the others though.
Have you checked out Bookoutlet.com? If not you need too. They have great bargains there and I know they have Ruby Red and Sapphire blue in paper and then they have the hardback with the fairytale cover on the Sapphire Blue as well. I am waiting on them to get the Emerald green.
You won't be sorry! That place is my new best friend lol. And that is quite dangerous for me considering I have a book buying problem! Everything is bargained priced. They even have a scratch and dent section. All books are new though so that is awesome.
These are all the books I bought in January:The Hammer and the Blade
Doomspell
Weird Hauntings True Tales of Ghostly Places
The Diary of a Young Girl
Green Rider
Witch and Wizard
Iron Hearted Violet
Tigerclaw's Fury
Sabriel
Ratha's Creature
The Tygrine Cat
Varjak Paw
Speaks The Nightbird
The Last Apprentice Night Of The Soul Stealer

Oooh, you got The Sleeping Doll!!! I hope you enjoy it!
Today I bought The Fury, Dark Reunion, Night World, No. 1 and Dark Lover. All paranormal romances! I usually would never go near them but after reading the first book in the Vampire Diaries series I'm giving them a go :)

Just brought Angelfall by Susan EeAm I dreaming or is there a buddy read coming up on this soon. Can't find the link to it but seem to remember it being mentioned somewhere.
I got a copy of The Terror Beneath by Rick Yancey for £2 so it was a bargain. But I'm trying not to buy anymore books this week!
Three Signed/Limited Editions:Restless Shadows By Ronald Kelly

Four Zombies anthology

And PS Publishing's Pet Semetary
Thanks, Janie. it's kinda disappointing that PS is 1/8 inch taller than the other SK editions in the series, but oh well. I'll live.
My book finally came -
. And my sister-in-law gave my 2 lil boxes and a bag full of books when we were down there this weekend, but I haven't looked through them yet, so dunno if there's any goodies yet.
Just purchased a Kindle Fire so far too many to write down, still going through 'kid in a sweet shop' stage.

SeanI loved my kindle until I got an iPad mini then I installed the kindle app on there and didn't use my kindle anymore so I passed it on to my husband who loves it as much as I did.
