Wow a lot of great books here haha! Alondra I rarely feel guilty myself when I buy books. I love them. I don't always get to them right away, but I know I will eventually.

These Violent Delights (Robin) I recently (last night to be exact) purchased Wings of the Wicked (Angelfire, #2) by Courtney Allison Moulton in hard back for $7.20(a steal! Haha) and Silver Borne (Mercy Thompson, #5) by Patricia Briggs in hard back for $4.78 (Which, normally all Patricia Briggs' books, in hard back, cost $20 or more, sooo couldn't pass it up). I purchased both these books from Amazon.com

I also purchased William Shakespeare's The Empire Striketh Back (William Shakespeare's Star Wars, #2) by Ian Doescher and Rebel (Reboot, #2) by Amy Tintera from Barnes&Noble.com

After I recieve these books, I'm going on a book buying ban until July 15th or so.

Finally got my UK order of the Hush, Hush series! Looking forward to getting into that series. I hear good things about it.


message 2516: by Victor (new)

Victor I ordered City of Heavenly Fire by Cassandra Clare which came out May 27. I also ordered We Were Liars by E Lockhart which is the June Bookslposion book and it came out May 4. And I preordered The Merciless by Danielle Vega which comes out June 12.
I'm a little disappointed that all three books will be arriving at the same time because of the preorder. I had to go with the free shipping though:/


Kelly (and the Book Boar) I finally had a day off and was able to poke around the used book store. $5 worth of happiness : )

i watched the first season but missed the second-i wonder if it will be available on dvd?!

I never thought i'd be okay with anyone but anthony hopkins playing hannibal but the actor on the tv show is pretty amazing.

I'm glad to hear it is great, Rachel! I'm surprised I haven't read it yet, because The Silence of the Lambs is one of my favorite movies. I actually just found out it was a series not too long ago and thought it was time to give it a try. :)
