Ok so I did great today on books. I am very happy. I finally got Sapphique, the sequel to Incarceron. Looking forward to that read. I also got book 4 to the Immortal series by Cassandra Clare. Also gotThe Bodies Left Behind, by Jeffrey Deaver, The Quiet Game, by Greg Iles, In Search of Eden, by Linda Nichols. And Guilty as Sin, by Tami Hoag. I am very excited about them.

Nice one Janie! I have The Quiet Game on my challenge list this year. Should be a good read :)

I loved The bodies left behind. It was a great one shot and I couldn't put it down. I hope you enjoy that one.

I just pre-ordered Dr Sleep from amazon. I am one who has to have the Hard Cover of King's books so I order early so I can possibly get a first edition.

[Holly]

Greg Iles is awesome! :-D

[Dan]

Bought these two today...

Cheryl, many people love that book. Infact, at the 2012 Bram Stoker awards it won the award for best vampire novel of the 20th century. I however, did not like it. But go a head and read it at your leisure. LOL.

Sounds good, I have stacks to keep me busy until then!

[Shell]

Yesterday I purchased a brand new copy of Jessica from the local hospital op shop for $2! I read this book about 15 years ago - I picked it up one afternoon and couldn't put it down - I read all night until I finished it and struggled to stay awake at school the following day. This is a story that has stuck with me over the years, it affected me so much that I've had trouble bringing myself to re-read it. I'd actually been thinking about it and then found it in the op shop so decided it must be fate! Definitely in my top three favourite novels of all time, I'm both dreading and looking forward to reading it again!

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

Sounds like a very good read then Michelle! Will have to check into it.

[Shell]

Do Janie, it's amazing! :)

Well you've certainly convinced me, Michelle. It sounds incredibly powerful and provocative. Plus if it's resonated this long, and had THAT much of an impact on you, I just have to read it! It's now on my "to-read" list. Thank you!!
