in the mail today, too bad I have so many other books to read first!!Ooh Tarra, Merry Gentry is such an excellent series, enjoy!
Sounds like my trips into the city! Micheals to see what beads are on sale and than to browse Chapters and see if I actually make it out of the store without buying anything. ;) It rarely happens. Last week got: Tall, dark and deadly by Lorie O'Clare, Cat's Claw by Amber Benson and Pride by Rachel Vincent. Next week is the killer...at least 6 new releases by favourite authors. Then comes June and more.
Oops..that last was at Donna Jo. I thought I hit the "reply to" button.
Stopped by the bookstore today, just to browse... at least thats what I told myself, went home with

I'm going to the shop with the express intention of buying two particular books - wonder how many I will actually end up just having to have!?!?!
I went to Barnes and Noble on my lunch break today and got these....
not like I have anytime to read them anytime soon though with all the books I have on my bookshelf already...lol
Mod
Oh how I love my lunch break at Barnes and Noble. :)
What can I say...I was bad yesterday. Got Magic Bleeds (Ilona Andrews), Daemon's Mark (Caitlin Kittredge), Pride (Rachel Vincent), Bad Blood (L.A. Banks), Web of Lies (Jennifer estep), The Darkest Passion (Gena Showalter), and Moon Sworn (Keri Arthur). I missed two books I went in for but found two I wasn't. There's always next week.....and maybe sometime I might catch up. ;)
Web of Lies! I knew there was a book I forgot to buy today, damn. Anyway, I was tempted by the spoilers for Infinity but didn't like the price so I bought 2 more to get the 3 for 2 offer - bad girl!

I should get my copy of Magic Bleeds tomorrow or Saturday at the latest, I can't wait!
Mod
Do you go to the Dark Fantasy section in Waterstones by any chance?

Yes! But they always have 3 for 2 on certain YA and adult books so I've been going in on a frighteningly regular basis as the prices are the same as ordering online with this offer. Have you noticed online prices have been really low lately, not that I'm complaining?!
I've promised myself I will open an eBay account and start selling off my low-rated reads. I'm in desperate need of shelf space.
Mod
Me too. I've been doing the same but my TBR is getting scary. I'll be able to open my own library soon!
Mod
Can I get a member card?

haha well I had about 4 in my hands at one time and looking at others, but I just kept thinking 'oh dear what will the bf say!' especially since I have another 13 on order that should get here when the new Stephenie Meyers comes out ^_^

But I could not get
Jen ~ "Dhexterity" wrote: "I got today [bookcover:Caressed By..."really?? hopefully you'll be able to get unbound pleasure soon.
Jen ~ "Dhexterity" wrote: "I got today [bookcover:Caressed By..."I have heard Soulless and Blue Diable are good. Happy reading!
I am really proud of myself. For the last 4 weeks I have been doing mainly library books instead of buying, but it helps that I have access to two great library systems. I have these from the library right now:
(I am reading this for the Bones story)
I also just bought (and read)
and because I loved it so much in written form, I bought the audio version of
There was this awesome (and huge) open air market this weekend, and I found some sweet deals on used (and some new) books...Vamps and the City (aber auf Deutsch)
Three Bags Full
The Book of General Ignorance
Jaz Parks books 1-3:
-Once Bitten, Twice Shy
-Another One Bites the Dust
-Biting the Bullet
...and some language reference books. But those (except Jaz) go to the bottom of the TBR pile. June will start "kick-butt female UF heroines" month, grand marshaled by Ms. Anita Blake! :o)
Jen ~ "Dhexterity" wrote: "I got today [bookcover:Caressed By..."OOOOOhhhhh... Jen... Caressed by Ice.. thats about Judd...woohoo.. thats a good one. I hope you enjoy it.. I know I did and seeing that makes me want to reread it.. I think I will..lol.. have fun

Tarra wrote: "I got these last night:[bookco..."I hated, hated, hated Bullet! For many reasons. Be prepared for all kinds of sex (i.e. m/m, m/m/f, f/f, BDSM etc.).
Ok, I have to share my good fortune. I bought [book:Animal Life: The Definite Visual Guide to Animals and Their Behaviour|4003847] for a fifth of it's original price! I know it's non-fiction but it was £30, and I got it for £6 at WH Smiths. I've wanted it for ages, I'm so happy.
Mod
I love it when that happens!! I totally understamd how happy you are! I managed to pick up Wartime: Britain 1939-1945 for £3 9paperback) last week, I've been wanting to read it for ages but the hardback is £30! Yeah, more non-ficion!
YAY my books arrived! Only problem is I dont know where to start reading, so many books Ive been dying to read. So start with Spirit Bound or Lover Mine or Bree Tanner or Silver Borne or Broken or Deep Kiss of Winter! AAAAAH its a bookgasm :D
I'm terrible but I couldn't pass up such a good offer in the discount book shop - 15 books for under £25!

I'm just missing Morganville Vampires #2. I've actually read Morganville all ready but I didn't own them (except the recent one), it's one of my fave YA series. Now I'm wondering how I'm going to sneak them into the house, maybe a few at a time? I should never shop at lunchtime.
Mod
[bookcover:Grave Surprise|312..."Excellent bargin Ames! Maybe you could hide the books in the grocery shopping bags to get them in the house? I have a fab large cotton bag I always take with me when I plan book shopping, no one can see what I have in it, great for when I bought 10 rather than 2!!

I had a John Lewis one in my bag and went to Morrisons and just bought a couple of items to make it look convincing. It worked! Great minds think alike!
