Victor, there was not a publication date yet either, at least not when I looked it up. I am hoping not too long from now, but the series is pretty new so we will see.
Jen, I just read World after and was totally consumed by the book! You will love it!

Kathryn I am looking forward to reading her stuff too. Especially her YA called Between the Lines.

Dean Koontz is one of my favorite authors.

I used to love her books but I read too many in a row... I think I must have OD'd because these days I just can't seem to bring myself to pick up any of her novels :/
The family and I went for a day out since I was off one of my jobs this morning. We went to the mall and visited B&N. I found a hardcover first edition of
on their bargan table. So excited becuase I was missing this one.

I like it, it tells you how long you have to finish a book based on how fast you read. I've only had it about a week!
Glad you're enjoying it Cassie! I love mine too - I didn't expect to like it so much or get so much use out of it. Pretty good value for money if you ask me!

Thea yay! I actually just bought a Paperwhite myself last month!

Cassie glad you are enjoying yours. I also got one, but it was early last month. I still like physical books better, but it nice to have the kindle as well when I am reviewing for Net Galley.

Janie- I agree!!! My physical library is massive and so is my electronic one!!! I upgraded from a Kindle 2 keyboard to paperwhite and I do like it!!!
My physical library is still much bigger than my kindle library. For my physical library I am nearing 800 books. For my kindle I am at 148. The best thing about it is most of my kindle books were free except maybe 2 of them. And my physical books are all mostly bargain books. There are a few that were bought at full price, but not many of them. I am such a bargain shopper.
So my sister in Indiana has been shopping for me at her local library, just something she likes to do from time to time. She usually gets me on the phone and goes through the books with me LOL Whispering the whole time so much so that I find myself whispering back, true story. Anyway she said she was pretty excited so she sent me a picture of the books that she bought for me. So I thought I would share them with my GR family.
haha I've got a friend who does that Janie but she doesn't whisper and I can normally hear her kids running and screaming through the shop causing havoc hahaha!That's a great stack of books that she got for you - lucky you!

LOL Rachel, you should have seen us when I was there for Christmas. We must have been looking through the 'for sale' for at least an hour and I walked away with 29 books that time.

First edition copy of Brave New World which was expensive but not as expensive as it should have been. So I still feel like I got a bargain.
Well, I didn't buy, but I finally went through the books my sister-in-law gave me back at the beginning of February, and ended up finding a couple in there that looked interesting. A lot more went on paperbackswap, and a few went in the yard sale box, but I'm happy I finally got that box out of the middle of the bedroom floor lol.

My mom went to the US and got me
hardcover. Books are so much cheaper over there compared to latin america... ahh! you guys living there are so lucky.
Thanks Rachel-If I would have known I would have such luck I wouldn't have checked out 15 library books yesterday ; )

Gavin I loved that book! The hardcover is very nice. Once it hits paper I will probably buy that one too.

Angie I really like Winter garden. That was the first book I read by Kristin Hannah. It had a lot to say.
