I ordered 2 book journals and got them today. One is for my niece to instill the love of reading again. School is ruining reading for her, and I hate that. These journals are fantastic.

Enjoy your books guys! I have been reading the Dreamhouse Kings Series and thinking there was only 4 books to the series, I found and bought 2 more to the series only then to discover neither one was #3 which I need now. LOL And then discovered there is indeed 6 books to the series, not 4 or 5. LOL Looks like I will be ordering book 3 and 6.

i just started it yesterday, but i'm already noticing some bits and pieces that are changed or added. just little details so far, but the revised edition has 30 more pages so i'm guessing there's a lot more coming. :)

message 4291: by Judy (new)

Judy | 234 comments I’m trying not to buy anything until I finish a few that I have, but i always want more books! I have been using my kindle and also borrowing digital books. Will probably downsize our house eventually so have to resist buying more books but it is hard. I like to keep them and eventually will not have room for them. I enjoy seeing everyone else’s new titles though!


Jannelies (living between hope and fear) | 121 comments I'm restraining myself a bit ;-). I bought The Nameless Ones by John Connolly
The Nameless Ones (Charlie Parker, #19) by John Connolly

and Good Girl, Bad Girl (Cyrus Haven, #1) by Michael Robotham and When She Was Good (Cyrus Haven, #2) by Michael Robotham by Michal Robotham

John Connolly is one of the authors I want all books from in print. I read the Michael Robotham books earlier as review copies but I wanted to own them too.

I did not care for the Gillian Flynn books, I mean they were certainly not the worse I have ever read, I thought they had great plot lines, but sheesh I hated the characters, especially in Gone Girl.
