Yep...that it does! The horrible thing is, I CAN'T actually read it (or anything else!) today!!! Waaaaa!

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Just think of all that lovely moolah you can use to buy more books. ROFL.

[Shelleyrae]

Oh I'm jealous... :)

LOL...I think I already spent it! Project DONE! And it should cover the other 17 or so books that are due to arrive in November....updates to follow once they are actually in my greedy ol hands!

Here are some of my latest:

My latest orders!

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Rebecca, I'm very pleased cause I've got all of them. Mind you I haven't yet read all of them, but the ones I have were excellent. Love a girl with good taste. LOL.

For those of us using Book Depository, they are now stating the date dispatched on each individual book on the Order History lists. So you can see exactly how long each book takes to wing its way to you. LOL.

[[deleted user]]

Oh! I don't doubt that, they seem really good. Can't wait to devour them!

[Amber]

Thanks for the reminder Rebecca,
Darkest Night is another one I still have yet to order. Might just order that whole series this coming month or at least the first half of the series. Will have to see where my $$ is.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Ah, the Lords are some of my faves! Love that series!

[Shelleyrae]

Hey Amber (shameless plug warning)
I have a contest on my blog right now to win any book of your choice under $10 from bookdepository :) Open internationally - that will help with the $$ :)

[Steph, if this is too cheeky go ahead and delete it :)]

[Amber]

Thanks Shellerae for the advise will check it out!!!!!

[Steph, Serious series addict]

LOL! You're fine. I know you use the WWW folder for your updates, so throwin' one out here when it'll (possibly) help someone out isn't a problem. :)

[Shelleyrae]

;) Thanks Steph!

[Judithe, Soap Operas never end....]

Another order arrived today!

Nice library additions there, Ms. Judithe. :)

[Judithe, Soap Operas never end....]

Had a little help (unresistable temptation) in the various threads round here :D

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Just picked up 3 at the local discount store (Big W for the Aussies) for $3-93 each. Yay!

LOL! Yep, we're good for that.

Sandra, I fell in love with BigW. Good book selections in Canberra. :)

I'm going to have to check out our Big W here. I've been buying everything thru book depository so far - unreal pricing!

I'm trying hard to get a few new authors that I've seen as recommended reading in this group - but it's hard to go away from series that you're already 'involved' with.

Orders to come:

[Steph, Serious series addict]

YAY! Psy-Changelings and Kate Daniels are two of my faves!

You should check out BigW, they have discounted prices and a pretty decent selection for a discount store. Plus, that discount bookstore ... dang, can't remember the name of it, but I think it was a A&R discount place.

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Shannon, one of my all time favourite series Psy-Changelings. I saw where you joined her fan club, there is also a Nalini Singh Fans group here on GR, where all the latest info gets posted.

Nalini Singh Fans

I've got a lot of the others on your list - doing good girl!!!!

[Shannon]

Thanks Steph and Sandra...
I'll definately try to look for that discount book store. The library here hasn't got much... besides I'm a bit impatient :)

[Daffodil]

Picked up Thursday:


Can't wait 'til tomorrow when these come out:

[[deleted user]]

Couldn't help myself, I just had to order a few more books! *shame*

[Judithe, Soap Operas never end....]

But they're such good books! No shame in that at all~ Happy reading!

Shannon, you're in Oz, right? Check and see if your library offers online services. If they do, you should be able to request books (available at other AU libraries) and have them delivered to your library. Just scan through the library database for what you want, request it, and they email you when the book is ready to pick up. Easy! :)

This is definitely a NO GUILT ZONE!!

[Steph, Serious series addict]

For Sure! :)

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

So much so, that I feel no guilt about the day of shopping I had today, wherein I purchased NO books. LOL.

That's truly a shocker for me, but nothing I wanted was on special, and everything I saw that I wanted I knew I'd get cheaper at BD so I left them there in the shop.

[[deleted user]]

Sandra wrote: "This is definitely a NO GUILT ZONE!!"

I just know that I should wait at least until my latest order has arrived, saving some money. Although, I have to say I'm probably more excited anyway. Can't wait! :)

[Judithe, Soap Operas never end....]

Oh, Rebecca, you should follow the stagger theory...just try and stagger the orders so they keep on comin'...

Remember, the anticipation...then opening the box where your pristine copy lays...then figuring out which challenge(s) it will fit in remember, SELF-CONTROL is not always a bad thing, and then READING!

Have 3, yes THREE orders coming in, nicely staggered over today, tomorrow, and Friday (son didn't answer the door today, so bumped to tomorrow...but oh well.)

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Judithe, is your son still breathing?

I would've killed him, just to impress upon him next time "do the right thing" for his mother. LOL.

[Judithe, Soap Operas never end....]

LOL! Yes, he's breathing, even sleeping right now. Darling son more than made up for that by doing homework, DINNER DISHES(!) and showering without any nagging while I had to be off at work.

And it's really not the thing to threaten one's child's life for not answering the door when Mom is out...

Sounds like a good idea, maybe I should try that.

[Judithe, Soap Operas never end....]

Do, DO, DO!

oops...not supposed to be pressuring people into potentially damaging habits..remember about wallets, bookshelves, neglected family members... Bleah...just enjoy however you get ahold of them!

[[deleted user]]

Ha ha, maybe it would be good for me though. I'll probably try!

LOL, I like your stagger theory Judithe. I shall start experimenting with it ;)

[Judithe, Soap Operas never end....]

LOL! It's certainly not hard to gently encourage this group to buy more books!

So, in support of that...all the books but two in post #115 are on their way, memo to self: skip grocery shopping today,...at least until AFTER delivery ...but am prepared, have another "stagger" due between 11/12~27.

Found a nice price on Kitty Norville books...so...coming fairly soon are:

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Nice Judithe! I'm chasing . Got all the rest that are out.

And I didn't reallllly mean for him to answer the door when you were out. LOL. You just never know.

[Judithe, Soap Operas never end....]

I know...lol! He did look sheepish about it, though!

I didn't pick that one up yet...the "easy to get" one has a cover I really don't like (lol) that doesn't match the others, but hope to track the "right" one down before I read that far.

[Daffodil]

I was bad this weekend.

Ordered from Borders.com:


I've resisted buying the last book, because I didn't like Faythe all that much in Stray. But everyone here keeps saying she improves, so I'm going to give it a try.

Then went out shopping and got:


I haven't heard any press about Afterlight, but the cover caught my eye. The back cover blurb sounded good and the first few pages hooked me.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Daffodil, hope you like Faythe #2 and I'm interested to hear what you think of Afterlight.

[Josie]

My recent trip(s) to the library ended with me getting



and from a charity shop


And yet none of them start with an 'e' or 'o' so I can't use them for the serial challenge!! :(

[Steph, Serious series addict]

LOL! You'll find one. :)

[[deleted user]]

My recent orders! Just had to order Ember. I loved it!

[Literary Ames]

Splurged.

Ordered:


Pre-ordered: and the new updated Disney Beauty and the Beast DVD.

I really wanted to pre-order but there seems to be more than one paperback available each on Amazon and Book Depository and they all have different publication dates on both UK and .com sites so I don't know which to get yet.

If it wasn't for hardbacks and their prices I would've ordered more :(

[Judithe, Soap Operas never end....]
