I just ordered
,
and
. I heard so many good things about all of them and I'm so excited for them to finally get here!!
I went to WHSmith yesterday and bought the first Harry Potter, the adult edition. The covers are so beautiful I want them all in that edition :3And I also bought Wuthering Heights. Need to read more classics.

Okay...I just got in 5 book Friday and already have 2 of them read....but now I don't know which one to read next....here are the choices....any suggestions?!?
the 2 I already read are:
both os these books were AWESOME!! I highly recommend them!!
It's just the cover that differs. There are covers for children : (http://forbiddenplanet.co.uk/blog/wp-...) and adults(http://www.allstar-hub.com/wp-content...). :P
These are my covers... http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=h...
I like them. The adult ones are my second fav though.

[bookcover..."I wasn't a fan of Halo. If you've read [book:Hush, Hush|6339664] an liked it, you might like Halo.

I did love Hush, Hush.....thanks for the suggestion Amanda!!
Never seen them Carmel. How boring! I have only ever seen the ones Wendy mentioned (the non adult covers). I really can't believe you have not read the series yet!
I'm supposed to be getting in the mail..Burned
Impulse
Infinite Days
I love you, You haunt me
Teach Me
Romeo and Juliet
I didn't know how to put the cover.
There's a link above the comment box that says "add book/author" which brings up a window where you can add book covers.

You all are confusing me! Becca I thought you were on vacation?? I am just going to stick with the way I already add books! It already asks if you want other editions when I search.
at that time becca, i find the book, then just backspace so i only have the numbers from the book i want and put it at the end of the book.
I think it's a nice idea when I have typed out something and then I want to go back and add book links or images afterwards.It's so frustrating to have to find a book, it automatically goes to the end of what you type and you have to copy/paste it to it's correct place.

Ahhh I see what you are talking about now! I was lost - sorry! Becca you will be missed :)
I need to hunt up our next library sale! I keep hearing about all these great deals. I'm going to go look now.
I just got an armload of books from the library today. My february books to read are:
and
. I made Feb. my month of stand-alone novels I've been getting behind on.
I did the Amazon one. Probably the only way I got the books I did. (I'm a dad/husband who never seems to get to spend money on myself. Most of my $$ just went to getting my wife her birthday gifts. Glad I pre-ordered
while I could.)
I looked at the Groupon too, but I don't get it. Maybe because I didn't look too hard. i suppose I should go check again.
Yes you should check it out! You buy the Groupon for $10 and get $20 worth of merchandise. A certain number of people have to opt in to buy it for everybody to get the Groupon. If enough people buy the Groupon then everybody gets it. If there are not enough people who buy it then you do not get charged. I have never had that happen though.
I had no problem checking on it Wendy - try it again! Sounds like Seize the Deal, which I subscribe to as well :)
Against my better judgement, I gave in to the temptation of the library again...and got:
(which is weirdly tiny!) and
(which I'm already halfway through, and loving it).

in the mail today! yay!"That one was really good. It is so much better than Fallen or Hush, Hush. It actually lived up to the hype, which surprised me. It's not as angsty and you end up liking the completely uncoventional guy, which is nice for a change.
I just got a bunch of ARC's in the mail:
,
,
. Pretty, no?Stacia - I'm going to pick UNEARTHLY up sometime this week I think. I've been hearing nothing but good reviews - I hope it lives up to hype for me, too!
Arphaxad - I have Iron King and Going Too Far and loved them both. Going Too Far is tiny, isn't it? I can hardly find it on my bookshelf, next to all my taller books! Hope you like them!
