It was 3.79 I think. It's only 63? pages? Short, quick read. :)

[Victor]

It's really tempting now...maybe I'll just buy Wintergirls and In the Tall Grass. But what about the left over money..?

(I just got my babysitting money today)

[Shell]

Thanks everyone - it's nice to have people to share my joy - most people I know can't understand why I'm so excited :)

You're very welcome!

And don't worry: we all understand your excitement perfectly. And we're not like "most people."

We are ka-tet.:)

I've bought A Dance With Dragons by George R. R. Martin, In the Tall Grass, UR, Throttle by Stephen King, and Wintergirls by Laurie Halse Anderson.

I LOVED Winter's Bone! I hope you do, too!

[Rachel]

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

Nice collection of Books Rachel! Hope you enjoy them all!

[Rachel]

thanks janie!

[Dustin]

Woo-hooo, I'm so very excited!!

My Wife, Tanya, frequents a group at Facebook called Columbia Basin Buy-Sell-Trade, and the other day she found a listing of Ted Dekker novels. There were three listed for only $10 (for all three.) Needless to say, she jumped at the chance, and as of yesterday, we now own and .

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

OH very nice Dustin, great finds!

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

WOOT OK I am a happy pre-Christmas camper! Hub bought me today 9NEW BOOKS!!!!! from the UBS, so not new new, but new to me. so I got. Oh ok I got Odd Hours and Brother odd by Dean Koontz. Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter, The silence of the lambs, Hannibal, hannibal Rising, Heartsick (yay can do the buddy read), Bridhid's Quest and The Passage in hardback ugh, no soft back. But if I find it in soft back this one will more than likely be a part of my giveaways. I am VERY HAPPY!

haha, I just read this and cracked up! I can tell you are super excited! I am super excited for you, too! I haven't read Silence of the Lambs, but I own and really like the movie. Your husband sounds like a good man! Mark doesn't surprise me with books. He tells me to buy what I want when I go or gives me a gift card because he is afraid he will get me the wrong book.

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

LOL Kathryn I went back and read and saw my typos lol. Hub usually buys them when I am with him, not by himself, he would rather give me money to get them myself rather than he try to buy them. But today we were there together. He has gotten into a reading kick too, which I love! So he pretty much reads what I suggest and so far he has liked them all. I think he would do ok picking out books for me because he knows what genre I like.

[Cheryl]

I bought Battle Royale the novel.

I'll read it in January.

[Cheryl]

Janie, I liked Silence, but greatly disliked Hannibal.
Red Dragon was good though.

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

Well I will hopefully like it enough to be able to get through them.

[Kathryn]

You should ask Victor about Battle Royale. I think that is one of his favorite books.

[Cheryl]

Yeah Victor helped convince me into getting it.

Although I liked the Hunger Games books.

[Kathryn]

Cheryl wrote: "Yeah Victor helped convince me into getting it.

haha, awesome! I liked The Hunger Games trilogy, too. The last book was disappointing to me, though.

[Kathryn]

I bought Throttle by King and Hill for my Kindle this morning and am about halfway through it.

[Chris]

I have been wanting to read Throttle, I look forward to your review Kathryn.

I know I shouldn't have spent the .99 cents but I just bought Ten Little Zombies: A Love Story for my Kindle. I read tons of board books and stuff to my son so when I saw this I couldn't stop laughing. My son will love this when he is older.

[Dustin]

Cheryl wrote: "Janie, I liked Silence, but greatly disliked Hannibal.

I greatly disliked Hannibal, as well.. Great finds, though, Janie!!

And thank you. We are very excited about the Dekker books. Speaking of which, I found out that all three are part of a series (or perhaps it's a trilogy, since I can't find any others listed as part of the series.)

Thanks Chris!! It should be posted tonight. :)

[Drew]

Let's see, lately I've bought Horns, The Wind Through the Keyhole, They Thirst, The Myth Hunters, 77 Shadow Streetand Black Oak 1: Genesis. I read the King novel and it was very good and fit perfectly as a bridge between Wizard and Glassand Wolves of the Calla. I'm over half way through the McCammon novel and it has already made my top five favorite vampire novels. I'm going to read the Joe Hill novel next, I've been given some really good reviews about it.

I hate when I read the books first then discover they are a series and find out I read book 3 first lol

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

Wow Drew great haul! I have been looking for They thirst at my UBS but have not found it yet. Hopefully soon. I love McCammon!

[Drew]

That will be my second McCammon novel, Swan Songwas the first, it was really good too.

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

I loved Swan Song. One of my all time faves!

[Drew]

Janie wrote: "I loved Swan Song. One of my all time faves!"

I can see where people say it's similar to King's The Stand but both are great. I don't think one is better than the other.

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

I actually have to reread the Stand. I have rmembered hardly anything with that book.

The three books you purchased comprise the Paradise Trilogy, which are also a part of The Books of History Chronicles (which in turn includes The Circle Series, the Lost Books, and Immanuel's Veins). Showdown was my very first Dekker book. I haven't read Saint and Sinner yet. Or is it Sinner and Saint? I forget which order they go in.

[J.S.]

Cheryl wrote: "Janie, I liked Silence, but greatly disliked Hannibal.

I'm with you on that! I haven't read Red Dragon, but Hannibal was, in my opinion, appalling.

[Cheryl]

Yeah, it was a real dissapointment.
I think it's because RD and SL focussed on a good police officer as a protag.

Hannibal had too much.. well Hannibal.

And it was too dark for it's own good and spent far too long in Italy.

[Rachel]

i saw all 3 movies but only read red dragon which was a good book. the movie hannibal was awful.

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

YIKES you guys! LOL Thanks for the heads up though.

Well luckily, we found about about them being part of the series prior to starting them!

Aw, thank you very much, J.S! I really appreciate you saying so. Since my previous post (12/19,) I looked at the list of titles/series in the books, and it also lists Skin and House as being part of the series, though they are lised separely. I had no idea that the trilogy is connected to the Circle series, amongst others. I thank that's awesome!!

[Veronica]

I just purchased

[Kathryn]

I just purchased The Broken Window, which will be my first Jeffery Deaver read, and Cold Mountain. Both at the thrift store for .49 cents. :)

i've been thinking of trying deaver for a while now-looking forward to hearing what you think of his writing- 49 cents is awesome!

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

I agree Rachel, I wanna start reading some Deaver. Our UBS has a ton of Deaver books.

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

Ok so I got 3 more books today. I got an Author for one of my blind authors The Zero Hour, I also got A Dark Matter, and Street Game. I have 3 books by Christine Feehan and have yet to read any of hers. LOL

[Kathryn]

Just got back from the UBS. I got all of these for a dollar: Black by Ted Dekker, Good in Bed by Jennifer Weiner, In Her Shoes by Jennifer Weiner, hardback of Dolores Claiborne by King, hardback of The Tommyknockers by King, and hardback of The Regulators by King.

[Rachel]
