I've not bought any recently, but I am going to a charity booksale tomorrow, so hopefully I will get some there!
Went to Goodwill today and picked up Where Serpents Sleep
and Shiver
for me and a few for the kid too. Tomorrow I'm aiming to go to the library book sale! :)
I went to a booksale to raise money for my local library this morning, and got 9 new books :) Not the End of the World, All Fun and Games Until Somebody Loses an Eye, Pandaemonium, The Horse Dancer, The Woods, The Secret Garden (a favourite from childhood!), Fairytale of New York, and Change of Heart all for myself, and then I picked up a copy of George's Marvellous Medicine for my 6 year old :)

I'm be interested in your opinions on She's Come Undone, once you've read it.
Library sale turned up a passel of books for the kid, and for me I got Moloka'i
, The Door in the Wall
, Let Me In
, Off Season
, Dealing with Dragons
, and three for my Mercedes Lackey Valdemar series collection, Winds of Fate
, Winds of Change
, and Changes
. Didn't find any I was directly searching for, but found enough off my other lists to satisfy me :)
Hopefully I will get t it soon Dustin. I was thinking of arranging a buddy read of that one.
Wow Kit great haul for you.
Wow Kit great haul for you.
For my birthday, I received:Bird Box
Dare Me
Shantaram
The Rosie Project
Yesterday I bought Dragonfly in Amber and Voyager. I'm late, but I've reluctantly climbed onto the Outlander bandwagon lol.
I liked She's Come Undone but I can't say I know anyone else who did.....I like quirky odd stories and characters. Wally lamb reminds me of john Irving a little.
I loved She's Come Undone. It is one of my favorite books. I Know This Much Is True is also a really good book by Wally Lamb.
Picked up an interesting looking steampunk (so it says on the cover blurb) book at the dollar store today, Tarnished
.
Woot, payday, therefore book buying day:Full Dark, No Stars
Wuthering Heights
I'm expecting to get more in a couple of weeks.
Stopped at the little flea market store nearby and picked up a couple. Two horrors, The House
, and Monstrosity
, and a mystery with a detective who is a ghost that sounded interesting, Desolate Angel
.
This weekend I bought 5 books, since Barnes and Nobles was doing 20% using membership instead of the usual 10%. I bought
The Raven Boys,
Beautiful Lies,
The Best of Me,
Six Months Later, and
Cartwheel. Super excited!!!
Picked up another one at the dollar store today, a western one, but with vampires, Blood Riders
. Sounded interesting.

You're welcome!"
By the way Holly, I sent you a book recommendation, Whispers And Lies by Joy Fielding, I can't remember if you got it or not, but anyway you should give it a go, it was very good.
I think I did Corey, thank you. I was going to see if the library has it because I'm going there tomorrow.

I just went out and bought
with my birthday money, and it cost only a little over $23, which isn't bad for a new book.

I have the first book Fall of Giants to the Century trilogy. I gotta say it scares me though being a historical. I don't do very good with historicals, but I do wanna try it.
I bought Until the End by Christopher PikeTTYL, TTFN, and L8R G8R by Lauren Myracle
The Magusterium by Holly Black and Cassandra Clare
The Infinite Sea by Rick Yancy
