I love grab bags...you just never know what might happen.

Can't beat that price, Mariab!

Being that it's March 1st, Amazon.ca has posted their monthly deals. I picked up A Better World whispersync deal (1.99 + 1.99), and I picked up Henna House 1.99 Kindle. I had to restrain myself.

Cold Iron was available in the kindle deals if someone is looking for a monthly challenge that's paranormal romance.

There you are! We were missing your posts of purchases, Samantha. I hope the reading slump has moved on.

Aww, nice to see I was missed! I was missing my bookstores for sure.

The book that brought (is bringing) me back is She's Come Undone by Wally Lamb. It's phenomenal.

I just saw the comments from you guys, you are all too sweet! I'm glad to be back :)

[Peggy]

I got The Last Days of Dogtown. It sounds interesting and I enjoyed another of her books I read recently.

[Tasha]

Peggy, that one sounds very interesting! I added to my list.

[Roz]

Yesterday I bought Gould's Book of Fish: A Novel in Twelve Fish. Not a cookbook.

[Lisa]

I picked up:

I really enjoyed this book.

[Pragya]

Welcome back, Samantha. It's good to see you. I tried to fill in your shoes but those are some big ones to fill for sure. Those are some great purchases. Hope you enjoy them. I need to try Wally Lamb.

[Peggy]

I noticed that Janice :) It was one of the reasons that convinced me to get it, because the average rating is quite low.

[Janice, Moderator]

I'll be interested in how you like it (or not) Peggy.

[Rebecca]

I just got A Bicycle Built For Murder for free on Kindle. I don't think I've read anything by Kate Kingsbury before.

Thank you! You did a very good job yourself ;) Some really great books you picked up while I was missing!!

[Samantha A]

Went into my other bookstore armed with a nice list of about 13 books and left with just 2 from the list and 1 not on it. Oh well.

Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston
The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro
The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway

Oh you go to bookstores armed with a list! That's nice. I liked Remains of the day.

I usually don't... I prefer to just search and see what I can find, but I've had a few books that i've been wanting so I wrote them down so that I wouldn't forget to look for them haha.

Good idea. I am going to try this one. But that would be difficult since my wish list is never ending but my credit space is. :p

Haha, try to go through your to-read list and see if anything is just jumping out at you.. I had a few that I just NEEDED to have right now, but that hardly happens. The ones I didn't find, I'll probably just purchase a few of them on Book Depository because I just can't wait!

Lol. Those that I usually NEED right NOW stay put in my shelves gathering dust but I know exactly what you mean. ;)

We are one and the same then! I suspect most of those will sit unread after I just had to have them hahaha.

I had that on my list of books to read when I was doing the Around the World Challenge. I'd still like to read it.

Several of my goodreads friends have read it and the ratings are all over the place.

Of course not! I'm in series hell and may have to extend the 2015 annual challenge to 2016. LOL!

Let me know what you think. She's in town at the moment and doing a heap of public appearances. She's on our big current affairs Q&A show on monday night for International Women's Day. I wanted to get her book An Untamed State to read this month but it's $25 everywhere I look.

[Tejas Janet]

I shopped online yesterday evening at AbeBooks, where I've started picking up specific books I want that I can't find at my local library or used book store or ebook in most cases. These four will ship soon. $13.93 with shipping included.

The Country Girls Trilogy
Madam, Will You Talk?

I picked up a couple of freebies today from iBooks - Blood Oath: Janna Chronicles 1 and The Moonstone.

Audible has a 3 for 2 sale and I'm debating getting To Say Nothing of the Dog. I was reading friends' reviews and one recommended reading The Moonstone first. I'm sitting on the fence about whether or not to take advantage of Audible's sale or not. I'll leave the sale shopping cart full for a day or two to decide.

[Janice, Moderator]

Add to my freebie list - Three Men in a Boat. I'm obviously gearing up to get To Say Nothing of the Dog. Three Men is also recommended as prerequisite to The Dog.

[Kristie, Moderator]

I really want to check out that sale, but I have to wait until I'm out of work. *Pout*
