[Snoozie Suzie]

I recently bought a bunch of books by Gabriel Garcí­a Márquez from they charity shop. They looked like they were a set but were not in a box.

[Dem]

I just bought The Sandcastle Girls
A Grown-Up Kind of Pretty
The Sense of an Ending

[Ava Catherine]

Delta Wedding Eudora Welty


Gold Chris Cleave

[Lori]

I splurged a little myself although not on such a large scale as Valerie. I bought a 3some on Amazon yesterday that I've been waiting for too long:

Galway Bay and

The Invisible Mountain and

The Siege of Krishnapur. A little eclectic though.

[Kimberly]

Darren bought me these Cinder by Marissa Meyer and The Swan Kingdom by Zoë Marriott yesterday in hardcover while they were on sale for a total of $10 from Chapters :)

[Kimberly]

That I do. He spoils me! He even bought himself a couple books :)

[Janice, Moderator]

Yeah for Kimberly's husband! Our purchases seem to have waned.

[Kat]

Oh I have purchases! &

I also received this one for a review, but it's due to be published on 21 Aug, and sounds like a really good historical fiction

Oh, AUDIBLE! I've got credits and a gift voucher!

Four Fires is one of my favourite Bryce Courtenay books, with an excellent narrator - enjoy!

[Kimberly]

Kat I'm super jealous that you have the second Anna Dressed in Blood book! I'm still trying to get my hands on a copy of the first one!

Keep trying! It's so worth it, and I'll be reading the second one very very soon!

I have The Orchardist on my "Possible new release" list for August. I have challenged to read one new published book a month. I'm behind and just reading June's now.

I haven't won a giveaway in a long time. *sniff*

I took a cursory look at the BOGO sale and will go back and take a deeper look before it ends. I didn't see Four Fires and I would be interested in that one. I wondered about The Secret Servant, but I haven't read the first book in the series so should likely do that before I get later ones.

In case you aren't aware... to link a book, click on the "add book/author" link above. You can search for a book and then click on "add" to post a link in your message. We like linked books because it makes it easier to investigate.

Anna Dressed in Blood was offered in audiobook format for free downloads by SYNC last month. All summer they are offering two books each week. Once the week is up, the books are no longer available. I've picked up a couple of books that I've had on my wishlist.

[Kimberly]

Yesterday I got: in the mail which I won on a blog and for review in the mail too.

[AmyK]

I bought and recently, i'm reading one for the rainbow challenge, but i have such a long list of others to read (most not even posted on my to read shelf) that I'm sure the other will sit on my bookshelf taunting me for a while.

I have The Orchardist release date written on my calendar. It looks like a pretty good read, both my mom and I are looking forward to it.

[Danielle]

There is a sale on at the bookstore right now, 3 classics for $10! So I bought 6. I bought The Great Gatsby, which I read last night and absolutley loved! I also bought A Journey To The Center Of The Earth which I plan to read on my 6 hour bus ride today. Also, Gulliver's Travels, Wuthering Heights, Pride and Prejudice, The Woman in White

I flicked through the first couple of pages when I received it, looks good!

I haven't bought anything, as I have banned myself (I don't have much money, and small comes first) but I have downloaded LOADS of free books for kindle. Happy happy happy days, la la la la.

I LOVE Kindle freebies -it's like a treasure hunt! Have you read any good ones, Suzie?

Love the kindle Freebies. They help fill the void when the coffers are low :D

[Kimberly]

If you are doing the Rainbow Challenge, The Great Gatsby will fit for indigo. That is my selection. I don't know about the others, but they may fit it as well.

[Janice, Moderator]

I indulged at Audible's BOGO sale (though not as much as Shirley). I got The Yard and Sanctus.

For free Kindle books, this is a great site: http://www.jungle-search.com/US/kindl...

[Janice, Moderator]

Those all look like interesting reads, Judy!

I pre-ordered The Orchardist for my August New Release challenge. I'm getting behind - just now reading June's new release.

[Janice, Moderator]

That was the whole point of making this challenge for myself. Whenever I see those "best books of the year" lists, I rarely have even heard of them let alone have read them. So this year, I thought I'd educate myself.

I love that cover! I could read it just for that reason. I'll be watching for your review.

Probably a great idea! :)

This series sounds so different I wanted to give it a try.

The books I got were part of a set, similar to the Penguin Classics, so unfortunatley I dont have the same cover as the one showing. But thanks for the tip! :)

[Janice, Moderator]

Danielle, for the Rainbow challenge (and the Rainbow challenge only), you may count the book if there is a cover that is predominantly the colour of the task. It doesn't need to be the edition you read.

Awesome, thanks Janice! :D

[Kimberly]

I got approved for from NetGalley. The author is a childhood favourite of mine so I can't wait to read this one!

[Kimberly]

I bought at goodwill today and I got in the mail I won it last week!

[Kimberly]

Thanks Judy! I seem to be on a winning streak lately!

[Janice, Moderator]

I got We, the Drowned free from Kindle. It was $1.99 on their Kindle deal of the day a couple days ago and I had a credit on file.

That's on my TBR list. I've been avoiding it, though, because it is soooo long.

[Betsy]

I just purchased Boujahlians' Sandcastle Girls,Kleypas'Dream Lake, and French's Broken Harbor. School is starting,amnd this bringsmy MTBR up to 12 books. Hopefully, if I pace myself,I'll have enough books to last till Thanksgiving when I can make the trip to Pittsburgh to hit the "big bookstore" :D

[Kimberly]

I got The Angry Woman Suite by Lee Fullbright from the author in the mail yesterday for her blog tour :)

[Kimberly]
