Julie Well, I got a second copy of A Need So Beautiful (A Need So Beautiful, #1) by Suzanne Young in the mail today, lol. I had won it from First Reads and received a paperback one like 2 weeks ago and then got a hardback today shipped from a different place. Maybe I won if from somewhere else too? :)

How strange!


message 1264: by Julie (new)

Julie I thought so! I was all excited thinking it was a different book and opened it and went "Umm, I already have this one." :)


Awesomevegan (AKA JenReads) (awesomevegan) | 325 comments Give it to a friend. :) Or donate it to the library. That's what I would probably do.

Ooh, the library is a good idea. They are really good about ordering new releases when I ask for them so maybe I should do that. I was thinking about giving it to my sister-in-law but I can just let her borrow my copy.

Those were good! Have you read her Aurora Teagarden series? I'm slowly working on those now. Also, if you like the Harper Connelly series you might like Kimberly Dertings series

Wow you must really love that book! I just got it from PaperBackSwap, I will have to bump it up on my TBR list!


message 1277: by Gwennie (new)

Gwennie (blessedwannab) Hahaha, yes I do. (as most people hear can attest to, lol, I'm obsessed). It's my all time favorite.

BUT, it's not for everybody. It's very descriptive and lengthy. I enjoyed that, but others have a hard time with it.

Nach dem Sommer (The Wolves of Mercy Falls, #1) by Maggie Stiefvater (German)
Beku (The Wolves of Mercy Falls, #1) by Maggie Stiefvater (Indonesia)

Unfortunately, the creditors still wanted their bills paid, despite the postal strike, so some of them had to be paid online. Luckily, the strike didn't last too long. :)
