[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

Wow Nice Kit!!! I love BARGAINS!!! heh

[Kit★]

Heck yea! And I won my bit o' spending cash on a lucky scratch-off lottery ticket, so the sale was like bonus :D

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

Well that is quite nice Kit! Gratz on the win!

[Jo]

I'm making sure I actually buy hard copies of books this year rather than kindle books.

I have just bought The Infernal Devices trilogy - on book three already! absolutely love them.

[Victor]

Jo- I'm reading Clockwork Angel right now. I am really liking it!! Have you read TMI series yet?

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

Jo I want that series so much! I will work on getting it soon. I so love hearing you say you are going to focus on buying physical copies now more than kindle. It helps our book stores out so much!

[Jo]

Yeah Victor I read TMI end of last year. Couldn't put them down. Excited for the next one!

Janie I can't recommend them enough! She's such a fabulous writer. I noticed I got lazy with buying kindle books, it takes all the fun out of picking books and when you think about it they're not worth the money. I'd much rather see it go into stores.

I just bought Divergent so I can read it before the film!

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

Jo we have been doing buddy reads on the Divergent series, and have been enjoying them. So right now we are on the last of the series that we are reading in March. They are great books. Veronica Roth is very talented.

[Jo]

Sorry for being ignorant - what's buddy reads?

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

Jo that is what this group is based on. You can either join in on someone's buddy read or start your own. There is a folder called Buddy reads and you can go through those threads and see if you may wanna join one. If you want to start one, you choose your book and post in the Buddy read folder the name of your book. Then you can set it up how you like it. Set your start date, do you want to read a set amount, read at your own pace, and what not. Then you wait and see if anyone wants to join you on your read. Hope that helps. :)

[Jo]

Ah that makes sense thanks! I'll go look now.

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

Awesome! :)

[Holly]

These are the books I've gotten over the past few days:

[Corey]

I just picked up a couple books from Goodwill, I got Shattered by Dean Koontz and The Stranger Beside me by Ann Rule, The Stranger Beside Me is a book about killer Ted Bundy.

Nice ones Corey. The Stranger Beside Me was an awesome read. I hope you enjoy it.

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

Ohhh The Stranger Beside me would be pretty interesting I think.

[Holly]

Janie wrote: "Ohhh The Stranger Beside me would be pretty interesting I think."

Oh, it was Janie. Highly recommend it.

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

Awesome I will have to look for it. Maybe I can find one at my good will! LOL I did just find several there a few days ago. My last book haul was from Good Will.

[Delmy]

I just bought:

The Terror by Dan Simmons

[Sam]

Had a really good book haul the last couple of days. All are review copies of books but some look like really good reads so can't wait to get into them.

The first was Caitlin Star - James J Caterino which I am reading straight away because I can't wait to get into it.


Betrayal - Jacqui Rose which looks like a Martina Cole style of writing


The Accident - CL Taylor which from the blurb reminds me of a Linwood Barclay novel


Dead Gone - Luca Veste two new detectives in this one which sound interesting


Viper Wine - Hermione Eyre which is a time traveling science fiction style novel and was received through Goodreads


Going to look at working most of these into my March TBR

I read that last summer.It's kinda slow in the beginning, but don't worry, it's good.

[GeneralTHC]

Janie wrote: "Ohhh The Stranger Beside me would be pretty interesting I think."

I think so, too. We should have a buddy read for that one. I'm wanting to read all her books. I read my first one last month and really liked it.

[Chris]

Last week I finally got to go shopping for fun. We took some of our tax refund and went to the Mall last Monday. We all got some goodies, but my wife and I bought for us at Barnes and Noble and we got a Monster Truck book for my son. I didn't spend to much time browsing becuase my daughter was a bit fussy but it was great to get to buy a book for a change.

Glad that you got to do some shopping Chris!

[Veronica]

I finally purchased House of Leaves. Now I have to decide on when I will read it

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

I was really surprised I actually found the Narnia box set and unwrapped? I mean who does that? LOL I am guessing it was gift for someone and they did not want it? LOL Who Knows!

Kit you gotta love what you can find at the Good Wills! I love stopping there to look. Most of the time ours has some pretty good stuff, but sometimes they have less of a selection.
