Let me know what you think!

So I went to Borders and bought
in paperback. I actually have it in hardcover
but I don't like the hardcover cover at all. So, I just went out, bought a book I already have, and bought the one with the cover I loved, lol. No biggie. Am I the only one who has ever done this? lol
Well Jen, you could always donate the hardcover to someone who wants it. *hint hint, wink wink* lol
given and signed by the wonderful Tess Oliver for free

For instance, I own three different copies of versions of Outlander. I bought two copies of Jellicoe Road. Sometimes if you really love a book you're willing to pay the extra money.
I have The Twilight Saga in hardcover and on my Kindle. Not Bree Tanner though. I only have that one in hardcover. I have Shiver and Linger on Kindle and audio. I want to get them all in hardcover, ebook and audio. Is that obsessive? I love that series and would love to meet her someday so that I could have signed books. I also would buy them with foreign covers if I could since some are beautiful! :)I also have more than one copy of Charlotte's Web.
The red one is gorgeous. Seriously beautiful. (both are hc) So NO you are not the only one. I think you are completely normal. There are way worse things that you could be addicted to.
I'm glad to hear that you guys because I was seriously thinking that maybe I was being a little too obsessive, you know? lol.But sometimes when I see a book I really like or want in a different cover, the temptation to not get that new cover is really hard to resist.
Btw, love Charlotte's Web, Jen and am dying to read Jellicoe Road, Wendy.

I love Charlotte's Web so much. A favorite from childhood and still is now. The red cover one is different than the original.
I have several books that I also have the audiobooks for (the Harry Potter series, Jellicoe Road, some James Lee Burke, etc..).
cheap buys for my kindle
some review books:

Me too. It's an amazing story. You know, I haven't seen the one with the red cover before, now that you mention it. Is it a special edition?

Yes. It is the signature edition. I don't know if it is still available. I received it as a gift. :)

I got the email today saying that I won
from a first reads contest!
I got
on Overdrive audio! Got to add that to the list to read soon! I put myself on the waiting list for
but I don't want to know how long it is. I want to buy all 3 in hardcover. Does anyone know if a box set or anything exists?
Just bought
for my nook and still looking
I just checked out from the library:
I hope I like them all, they seem like really good books from the reviews I've read.
I loved North of Beautiful, Rani. Excellent book. I still think about it and I think I read it over six months ago.
I just got::City of Bones Nightshade Tallulah Falls Once Dead, Twice Shy Sisters Red The Dead-Tossed Waves

Went on a trip to Helsinki and Tallinn and bought these books ...
... and when I came home I received this beautiful box!
My library found me a copy of Unearthly, so despite having two books already on the go, I've started reading this one, too.
I just got:
They all look really good :)
Wow! That's a lot of books! I really want to read Nightshade..
I have seen the show Inspector Lynley but never realize it was based on a series of books. So naturally I have to check the books out..LOL

Just bought
all of them for my blog later on for giveaways :) and then
for my personal use : )Just bought these from Smashwords
Wow Courtney I have not read of those books! Not one. That is strange.
It's because Smashword has a lot more self published authors that nobody has ever heard of...some look as if they could be interesting. :)
They do Stormi. I may have to go there and check for myself.
