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.
LOL Kathryn I have been one of those people buying books because I like to buy books LOL But I usually do plan on reading them at some point. HAHA! I hope you enjoy Stinger I don't have that one myself.

I recently (last night to be exact) purchased
in hard back for $7.20(a steal! Haha) and
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.comI also purchased
and
from Barnes&Noble.comAfter I recieve these books, I'm going on a book buying ban until July 15th or so.
I buy from our library trying to fill out my shelvesLast week I found
Brad Meltzers the Inner Circle
J A Jance Exit Wounds
They have very generous donors and often I'm lucky enough to grab a current best seller
the only book I got recently was Blood of the Realm: Book I of The Nayoran Saga for free as a read for review request for the author. It's pretty good thus far.
Finally got my UK order of the Hush, Hush series! Looking forward to getting into that series. I hear good things about it.
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:/
I went to a book outlet bookstore last night, and I feel it was a success! I came home with 8 books (both paperback and hardcover) for only $25. and I got some good ones!!Heres a list of the ones on my TBR list:
Night Shift
by Stephen KingThe Gunslinger
by Stephen KingThe Pillars of the Earth
by Ken FollettMurder on the Orient Express
by Agatha ChristieDesperation
by Stephen KingA Time to Kill
by John GrishamThese were ones I've picked up that I've read before and LOVED so I needed to own! ;-)
The Night Circus
by Erin MorgensternSarah's Key
by Tatiana de Rosnay

You might like her, Rachel! Thank you! :)
I just got back from Wal-Mart and I like to look through their book section (surprise surprise) and I found a copy of Deeply Odd by Dean Koontz, it just came out on paperback, so I just couldn't resist, so now I got Deeply Odd, YAY!
Nice Corey! I ended up at good will and picked up a lot of books. I think like 12 for $22. So that was a great deal! I have a huge haul vlog to do because books have been collecting on my library table. LOL
We went to Half-Price Books because I wanted to get Red Dragon by Thomas Harris. And guess what?! I got a copy!!!

Meijer had brand new hardcover bargain books for five dollars each. I picked up The Host by Stephenie Meyer, Attachments by Rainbow Rowell, and Days of Blood & Starlight by Laini Taylor.

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. :)
Found a bunch of books at Goodwill, Including Changes!! Really!?? A brand new Dresden Files at Goodwill! I also got Black (Book One) & Green (Book Zero) by Ted Dekker!! New hard copies... what!!?
...and books 3,4,5 in the Dresden Files; came in from Amazon.
Feeling pretty darned good
I read the whole series of the Hannibal Lector series and it was pretty good for the most part. So I think y'all would enjoy it. I must warn you though, the imagery is great so yeah kind of gross at times.
Made another trip to Goodwill the other day. This is what I got:Just One Look
Divine Evil
Absolute Power
The Winner
The Charm School

Janie, I have you to thank for getting me to check out Goodwill. I had never thought to stop in there for books before I started watching your videos. So over the weekend I stopped in my local store and picked up 3 books. I bought Rebecca, The Historianand Angels & Demons. Thanks again for the recommendation.
Great Nicole! I love to be helpful like that HAHA! I find goodwill to be one of the best places to shop for books! Glad you found something there!
