I recently purchased Concrete Savior by Yvonne Navarro, Feed by Mira Grant, and Sizzling Sixteen by Janet Evanovich.

[Cindy (eclecticfirefly)]

Within the last week or so I have managed to scour thru several HPB stores here. This is what I found:

Cindy, I love hope you love it too. Been hanging out for the sequel for a long time.

Just added to the find it list :) Love me some trekkies and with zombies, its a winner.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Sandra's readin' zombies? +Trekkies? Cool! ;)

[Cindy (eclecticfirefly)]

That's me! Coolest Grandma around. LOLOL Now if I could just find something my 11 yr old grandson will read......

[Steph, Serious series addict]

:) I bet. I'm no help on the kiddie front, sorry.

[Cindy (eclecticfirefly)]

Got Enders Game for him. Young boy, video games, battles - what's not to like???? Oh, yeah, Grandma has read it already and thinks it's great....kiss of death!

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Sounds like a good match. :) Hope he enjoys it.

Don't tell him. LOL.

Love the Ender's saga books.

[Rosina]

on the way home stopped at the bookstore

couldnt resist

and then found this one

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Laura's gonna love you Zina, some of her favs.

[Lis]

These are what I've snagged so far in June... Gotta stop, gotta stop, gotta stop... But I love HPBs, on a couple of trips I managed to find:

...had coupons so I also picked up: ...and a couple of audiobooks

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Great haul Lis!

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Nice!

[Alyssa]

I need help! I don't know what to buy! I only want to buy 2 of these books. That's probably why I'm having a problem. Lol.



So which should I buy??? O.O

Off the list to buy
- I'm pretty sure I can get this one from the library when I'm ready.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

I've read Enclave (so has LLL) and we both gave it 5★. Although I think she loved it a bit more than me, still, great read. I want to read Die for Me and Divergent, so I'd pick one of those two. If it were me. Choices, choices, choices ... oh, sweet choices. :)

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Alyssa, are you going to be able to get any of them from your library. If so, buy something you can't get from there.

[Alyssa]

Good point, Sandra. Most of them are all fairly new releases, so I might not be able to find them at the library for a while. I guess it might come down to what I have to read right away or something.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Very good idea! Then you can read them all! :D

[[deleted user]]

I've read and loved it. I can't believe i have to wait almost a year for the next book! :(

[Steph, Serious series addict]

That's good to know, Kat. I've got it TBR. Sounds interesting.

[Daffodil]

You obviously liked the first Holly Black book, since the second is on your list. That means Red Glove is almost a sure thing. On the other hand, Red Glove wasn't an automatic I-must-have-this-book-NOW, so maybe you could wait for it.

I like Ann Aguirre, but haven't read Enclave yet. It's on one of my lists somewhere.

Gee, how helpful was I? Sorry. You're on your own. LOL

[Daffodil]

Picked up at Walmart while I was supposedly grocery shopping:



I haven't heard anything about that last one, but I picked it up and read the first few pages. Since I wanted to continue, it went in the cart.

ETA: Apparently I don't remember hearing anything about it. In reality, I added Blood of the Wicked to my TBR back in April. LOL. I see a lot that interests me and then some of them get lost in the sheer volume of UF/PNR out there.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

LOL supposedly grocery shopping Well, hopefully they'll be filling reads. ;)

The same thing happens to books on my wishlist!

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

That happens to me too Daffodil!

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Oh, how I miss WalMart/Big E and/or Target! :p

[Cindy (eclecticfirefly)]

Alyssa - I'm reading now. Liking it, but can't say that I love it. It's my first steampunk....

I would personally go with ANYTHING that references revenants.....and

I hate to rub it in but... My Walmart Supercenter just put out a collection of older PNR releases for $1.99 each. I snagged a couple by Nina Bangs and Jennifer Ashley.

[Cindy (eclecticfirefly)]

SIGH.....now I need to go to Walmart.....

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Double Sigh .... Enjoy it for me!

That might just get me to actually go to the grocery store and buy food. LOL. I HATE going to the store.....

[Louise]

YAY

[Cindy (eclecticfirefly)]

Well - I never made it to WalMart. But, my mailman doesn't like me much today!

I love Pamela Palmer's Esri books. We're FINALLY getting the other two books next year. :D It's been a LONG time coming.

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Excellent, I'll look out for them, Christina :)

[Steph, Serious series addict]

That's great news b/c I just recently bought #1-3 too. :)
I haven't updated my "splurge" list lately.

Steph, were you replying to me or Sandra?

Perhaps I should have edited the quoted part, when I replied to Sandra....because now I see it "captured" the McKenna series

Sandra -- the 3rd Esri book will be out in February and the 4th will be April.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Both actually. I was referring to the McKenna series. :)

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

LOL. I already had 4-6 of the McKennas, so I was glad to find the first 3. And I was glad there was more Esri's coming out as that series looked intriguing.

[Christina (AKA Babbling)]

Thanks for clearing that up. I got confused and then I wondered if I caused the confusion. :D

[Sarah]

Steph, to put my two cents in you should read Die For Me by Amy Plum! I reviewed it for a website and I thought it was awesome!

[Steph, Serious series addict]

No worries, Christina :)

Thanks, Sarah! I have just gotten that one and look forward to reading it soon.
