I'm so glad to see so much love for Anna and The French Kiss ^^
Well, I got a second copy of
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? :)

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

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.
I bought these at a book sale ...
... received these as arcs in swedish ...
... and won these ...

I just ordered Outlander in the 20th anniversary edition, complete with faux-leather binding and satin ribbon. It'll be so pretty!

I agree with Kristina - good picks Andrea :)
Just got Grave Sight Grave Surprise An Ice Cold Grave and Grave Secret today from an eBay purchase. Can't wait to read these, I love Charlaine Harris!

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!
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.

I pretty much like everything with words inside... so I'm sold :)
Andrea, are the Swedish covers the same? I was just curious. I love to see the covers for other countries. If you like Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater it has so many great covers in all the different countries. :)
(UK)
(German)
(Indonesia)
(Bulgaria)
(Italy?)I also love the Chinese one. It isn't listed here but you can find it on her blog. :)

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. :)
I got a YA mega manga haul from the library:
Vampire Knight, Volume 1 & 2
Ouran High School Host Club Volumes 1-5

i still couldn't resist buying the special edition.
Oh I forgot from the free rack I got an art book and a book about building houses and bridges and things with straws. Random but kinda cool. It also has a part about building with wooden dowels. I kind of want to make a little reading cubby or a canopy somehow LOL.
There is something wrong with me! I just visited two different libraries... and this is what I got...
Hope I can finish them all by the 23rd... Cuz I can NEVER renew a book without it being on hold GRR
