Nice list Victor although the tolkien books I could never read. Those are books I would rather just watch the movie. I am not sure why, but I just cant do fantasy/sci fi books.

Holly, I agree Walmart always has better books. I can always seem to buy one there. Yet Target has the bigger selection lol.

[Holly]

Lol I know what you mean Janie.

You're exactly right, Janie: one really can't go wrong with Dekker!
Kathryn- I'm so happy that you picked up Black!! I cannot wait to hear your thoughts on it, once you're finished.:)


So with some Christmas money, I now have The Millennium Trilogy, YAY!! I am ecstatic to finally own them, as I've been wanting to read them for the last 2 years, possibly longer!!

[GeneralTHC]

You have got to read "Gone Girl" Janie!

[Kathryn]

Today was a GREAT day for books!!! I found the rest of the Ted Dekker series (I think it is called The Circle Series) for .50 cents a book, so now I own all four. I also found another book titled Fall On Your Knees for .50 cents. Found a few King hardbacks for a dollar to continue on with my King hardback collection. I'm tempted to start the first book tonight by Ted Dekker, but I think I am going to read a King book first, since it feels like it has been a while since I read a King. :) Starting the 2013 year off right. :)

[Rachel the Book Harlot]

Nice finds, Kathryn. Kudos.

[Kathryn]

Thanks, Rachel!! :)

[Victor]

I'll most likely be posting on here tomorrow:D Going to Half Price Books:D

I originally wasn't going to make a hardback collection of King books, but my husband wants me to. We find them so cheap, and they look nice on the shelves. :)

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

Thats a nice idea really Katherine. Especially finding them so cheap.

My big Christmas surprise this year from my boyfriend was the 25th Anniversary Special edition of IT. It's gorgeous. I haven't taken any pics of it yet, but you can get a look at it here. I notice they're already out of stock. This will be the book I'll have him sign if I'm ever lucky enough to meet him. Bucket list!

[Victor]

Thanks Rachel:D

Blind Faith - Kimberley Reeves
Awakened - Brenda K. Davies
A Family Affair - Mary Campisi

Lucky you!
Most of my friends and family don't get why you want to own a book your only gonna read once, or twice. So they believe buying books is a waste of money. I'm the only one with this unconditional love for books. Luckily my husband gets why I love books so much - his sister work as a publisher so she also love books. Needless to say we are very good friends.

But this was my first Christmas I got books from someone other than her. ;)

[Kit★]

I recently got a hardback copy of The Strain in the bargain bin at Walmart for $4.97 to replace my paperback copy. I actually went with my gift card to buy The Casual Vacancy and The Night Circus, since I didn't get any books that I asked for for Christmas except for one, which was Life . But they had zero copies of either of the books I was looking for. I was mad, because I'd just been to that same Walmart not even a week before to finish up Christmas shopping, and they had a bunch of copies of both those books. Just my luck they wouldn't have 'em when I go to get them.
They did have hardbacks of Full Dark, No Stars in the bargain bin though, which was cool. I already have my copy, but I was still almost tempted to get an extra :)
Oh, then I went to the dollar store yesterday and grabbed up a book I was wanting last time I was there but didn't get, Ill Wind.
I've still got more gift cards, so I'm still on the lookout for the ones I want. I'm also going to go on a Goodwill trip or two maybe next week, hoping to score! :D

I have to have books, and let me tell you I will look everyhere we go. LOL Grocery store, dollar stores, drug stores...etc...but I always get the best deals at our UBS. They hve so much to choose from. My biggest love affair (outside of hub) has to be books!

Your not the only one I espcially love thrift stores, they recently added a Second & Charles a county away from here I love the place they sell used books and about once a month they'll do a sale like buy 5 books get 5 free, and these things are like less like a dollar.

plus my hubby recently purchased for me online the other day and it just came in today

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

Jessie that sounds like a fabulous place. One thing I enjoy about our UBS is that they have like 3-4 racks of books out front that are on sale. I always hit those first before going inside.

[Jessie]

I do the same Janie, that Second and Charles place has a free book bin outside it's always the first place I stop.

No Dustin I haven't. :)

I really liked it a LOT, Janie. Perhaps you would, too?

[Rachel the Book Harlot]

Not sure if there are any steampunk/pnr fans in this group but I just purchased Kiss of Steel by Bec McMaster. It's on sale for $.99 at Amazon. Not recommending it since I've never read this author but just an FYI to those who might be interested.

Hey, J.S!

You and your husband got some great titles there.:) I adore Interview With The Vampire and Dragon Tears was quite enjoyable, too. I'm not sure if I've read Cold Fire. I really want to read What Dreams May Come!
