New Purchases - 2015
Hope you enjoy it more than I did Janice. I finished it on Monday (audiobook). I do seem to be in the minority though.
I just looked at my friends' reviews and it's a mixed bag - all the way from 5 stars to 2.
I bought Push Not the River in that kindle deal this morning. I may have to go back for another look.
Just bought the whole Odd Thomas series (apart from ones I already own and the most recent) - all were 99p each today. bargain. so excited.
I bought The Soul of an Octopus: A Surprising Exploration into the Wonder of Consciousness for my stepdaughter on Kindle. I want to read it too but have to wait for it to become available at my city library. May be a while.But a special book came in mail for me yesterday that I've been waiting for several months on back order. Secret Garden: An Inky Treasure Hunt and Coloring Book
It's a coloring book for adults. A present to myself just for fun.
Cool book, TJ. No one is too old to color, no matter what the medium. I hope you have a good time!
I just bought Rawsome Vegan Baking: An Un-cookbook for Raw, Gluten-Free, Vegan, Beautiful and Sinfully Sweet Cookies, Cakes, Bars & Cupcakes which I'm really excited about. Yesterday I tried a raw cacoa ball that one of the other boaters had made and it was awesome. So I've bought this book (as well as £30 of ingredients) so I can try some of these things out.
Sounds yummy! Will you post pictures of your creations somewhere? I would love to see them!
I think I have that book Sarah. Raw stuff can be so delicious, especially the raw desserts! enjoy!!
I will definitely post some pictures once I get started on them. the pictures in the book are mouthwatering. this is my first attempt at raw food dishes. not intending on going down that route diet wise but a few additions wouldn't hurt especially tasty treats.
I bought:Temeraire
The Crimson Ribbon
The Struggle for Mastery: The Penguin History of Britain 1066-1284
A short story by Michael Sullivan and narrated by Tim Gerard Reynolds is available for free at audible. I picked up Professional Integrity this morning.
Ooh, Lisa. It looks good. Added!

Travis of NNY wrote: "My kids love brown bear brown bear. My son just learned to talk and he memorized that book and would sit dowb and read it all the time"My 2 years old boy is already reading this one to himself. "Chechear, chechear, wha you you zee?" (Teacher, teacher, what do you see?". So cute!
2 year old is the best age I think. They're just so much fun
Oh, yes, I agree, it's a delicious age. I also love kindergarteners, when they start to read and write is so funny. I love those chains of letters that are suppose to mean something! You'll see next year. :)
It's my birthday today! But I was good, I only bought 2 records and 2 books. Just Kids by Patti Smith (Hardcover)
Anthem by Ayn Rand (MM paperback)
Happy Birthday Samantha. Good to see you treated yourself to some books. Hope you've had a great day.
My books just arrived by the mail .. I got The Secret of the Old Clock and I got surprized because I thought its 400 pages book !! Also I got The Girl with All the Gifts and Reckless the cover of this book looks so amazing .. And lucky for me I had a hard cover !!
Can't wait for my other books to arrive
Happy Birthday, Samantha! What, good on your birthday when you have been naughty all year round! Not done. Go splurge all those gift cards I assume you will get. :D
Can't splurge until next month unfortunately. Paychecks got tied up and I won't be receiving any pay until July 15th and the last time I got paid was at the end of May. Money is very tight right now but all is temporary! Was happy to find good deals at the thrift store so I had a nice birthday with my kids :) my husband wasn't here for it because he's in boot camp, though.
I ordered An Echo in the Bone today, the 7th book in the Outlander series. I also ordered a Spanish phrase book to practice a bit with simple sentences and to take with me to Cuba.

I went to the library today to return The Miniaturist and couldn't make it past the sale table. I picked up The Black Isle for $1.00.
I did the same, Janice, except I was returing books. I bought Club Dead for $2.00. It has never been read.
Love the sales table at the library!

I've been thinking about buying the Ghost Bride for a little while now, let us know how it is!
Just bought A Nation Under Our Feet: Black Political Struggles in the Rural South from Slavery to the Great Migration by Steven Hahn from BetterWorld Books.

Someone please stop me from buying new books while I still have more than 10 books waiting for me to read them all !! I just got The Thirteenth Tale I've seen someone around talking about it so I checked it and I thought maybe I'll like it too !!
And for sure to complete my J.R.R. Tolkien collection I also got The Silmarillion :D now my collection is complete .. Unless I thought of reading the other books which are not related to TLOTR !!
