Kit★ (xkittyxlzt) | 345 comments It's killer! Today I looked in there, and was only 2 small envelopes, and I wanted to shut it and open it again in hopes it would appear, lol. I looked at the mailbox and said, no, you're kidding me. Quit messin' around and gimme my books! xD

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

That's how I feel when I look in my mailbox! I feel like lately the USPS has gotten REALLY bad and slow. 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.

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.


message 1822: by Veronika (new)

Veronika | 13 comments 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.

Janie Johnson | 6303 comments Mod
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.

Veronika | 13 comments Thanks, I've only ever used Indigo Chapters. I'll check that out.

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.

Sam Arnold (samharnold) Just brought Angelfall by Susan Ee

Am 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.

Very Nice Squire!


message 1838: by Squire (new)

Squire (srboone) | 141 comments 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.

Squire sorry to hear that it is a bit taller. I am sure that can be bothersome to a point.


message 1841: by Kit★ (new)

Kit★ (xkittyxlzt) | 345 comments My book finally came - The Girl Who Fell Beneath Fairyland and Led the Revels There (Fairyland, #2) by Catherynne M. Valente . 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.

I keep eyeing Night Film!! I really want to read it! I read Doctor Sleep shortly after it was released. It was interesting to see what had become of Danny.

I 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.
