YAY! Happy Birthday!!! :D

Anything by Larissa Ione is worth a buy!

[Susan]

I recently picked up Magic Slays by Ilona Andrews and Firelight By Kristen Callihan.

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

You'll love Susan, and I'm looking forward to as well.

[Jean ~ Kindle Queen]

I just got a few.



Did anyone catch Jim C. Hines blog post where he recreated the female poses from some of our favorite urban fantasy books?

It's really funny and worth checking out. That's what inspired me to try .

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Yep, I remember being really impressed, that he even put his back out trying to do them. Very funny. LOL

[Vi]

How was the book, Jean? Was it good?

I am really enjoying the Kate Daniels series. I'm on book three but had to pick up the next ones. Firelight looked good and was an impulse buy.

In I've heard tell that there is an alleyway scene that rivals Chap. 32 is sexiness. So of course I had to order it :D

I haven't gotten to yet and probably won't for a while. I'm working on , and then I have a few book-of-the-month challenges to read after that. I did read , a collection of short stories by the same author, and I enjoyed it, so hopefully the Stepsister Scheme will be good, too.

Oooo, hadn't heard that. O.o Did add it my wishlist though b/c of some recs.

[Vi]

Oh, GTK Jean! I did not like the blurb of the book much. So I'm hesitant to pick this book up. I'll go hunt this book in my library.

[Alyssa]

Ordered from B&N.

[Alyssa]

Bought this week.

[Julianne]

Crap, I just can't pass up a sale. lol. I got all these books for almost 50% off.



And I'm also expecting these ones any day from book depository:

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Can't argue with 50% off Julianne :)

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

End of January & all of Feb's purchases from BWB & BD, some were preorders.



And I'm keeping a note of the purchases for the Check book balance challenge, so if I read them they get counted.

[Josie]

So I went a little out of control these past two days lol


Out from the library



Charity shops



I absolutely love the Soul Screamer covers, very very nice :)

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

At least it was cheap Josie :D

[Valerie ~ Val Hall ~]

Great selection.

[Josie]

They were, yay!
See there is a slight flaw in the Book Balance challenge, as long as you don't read them, you don't have to put them on the purchased list lol... ;)

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Yep, my saving grace :)

[Literary Ames]

I've bought/pre-ordered:

[Valerie ~ Val Hall ~]

They all look good to read Amy...none I know. Ii am trying to put my TBR pile on a diet, so far it is not working.

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Always a hard thing to do with Bingo happening Val :)

[Susan]

I just splurged and picked up two more books. I got Destined for an Early Grave by Jeaniene Frost and On The Edge by Ilona Andrews.

[Julianne]

I ordered

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

For those interested BD is saying only a few hours left for the 10% off sale :)

[Rachel-RN]

Just bought from Hastings (online) 2 for $12- and
I'm curious about all the hype these books are getting and my library is awesome since they have them, but with about 20 books for 317 holds it'll be awhile. So, I should have them soon!

[Valerie ~ Val Hall ~]

It could be worse. I have not read the Fifty Shades book yet but there was talks of removing them from public libraries. From what someone else told me about the books...it's not that hard core. It's just popular.

[Julianne]

For my birthday I just got:

(I already have the other 3, not sure why I bought them out of order)

As a pre bday present for myself I bought:



And with my bday part 1 of my bday visa gift cards (that's right there's more to come :D) I've ordered these off bookdepository:



as well as pre-ordered:

[Christa]

I see a lot of you have purchased or plan on purchasing the first book of Stacia Kane's Downside Ghosts series. I commend you! You won't regret it.

[Alyssa]

School just ended for me, and how did I celebrate? I ordered a bunch of books.





They'll all arrive in like 2 weeks, cuz the last 3 are pre-orders and one of them doesn't come out till the 29th. Sooo many goodies to read this summer! Totally gonna throw off the balance of my little checks and balances scale. Haha.

(How do I get the pics to not take up so much space on the post?)

Alyssa wrote: "(How do I get the pics to not take up so much space on the post?) "

I'm no expert but someone else pointed out that if you use a positive html on the line before the covers...they kind of line up. It's not a perfect fix but it's better than nothing:

< u > (return space)
Covers

It work too for bold, italic, underline...just make sure that it is in the line above your covers otherwise it does nothing. Hope it helps.

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Yep, that's the way to do it, so Alyssa you can go in and edit your list if you want, to practice. LOL

The PTB have stated that it should be fixed in the next upgrade :)

[Alyssa]

I did it!

Thanks Val and Sandra!

:-D

[Literary Ames]

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Yay! Thanks Ames :) Now to try and remember. LOL.

[Erin *Proud Book Hoarder*]

I keep placing books a ridiculous amount the past few months :( Now that I've discovered Dollar General stores 1.07 and 3.00 deals, and even worse now that I've been using Abe Books, it's getting outrageous!

[Lis]

Since I've gone Kindle, I often forget the wonderful world of Walmart... But today, all under $5.99 US, I'm reminded what a shame it is to not check for discounted new releases. Picked up:





Makes my splurges on and audio of feel better.

[Desperado]
