Lol I saw and used it:-D However I think betterworldbooks and I need a break: I'm heartbroken, but I had to put a temporary halt to our relationship (moving too quickly and all, you know how it is)...

[Bekah, Fellow Kleypasaholic]

oh...so you're easy....I see how it is now!


I got a box in the mail from them today!!!

:-)

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

I just added a book to my thriftbooks.com shopping cart. I hope it's still there on April 1st.

A little, yes... But see, bookdepository was getting jealous and starting to call me names, so I decided to try to break it off with both of them:-D

I love getting their boxes!!!! It's always so exciting!!

[Bekah, Fellow Kleypasaholic]

I know! Getting the boxes alone is addictive!!

[Lisa Kay]

Bekah & Melanie, I know! I swear, if you hooked me up to a heart monitor, I would be in ventricular tachycardia. I LOVE just having a box of books arrive on my doorstep.

[Laura]

I got my first order from betterworldbooks yesterday!

[Jennifer]

And I just placed MY first order from betterworldbooks yesterday!

[Bekah, Fellow Kleypasaholic]

ugh..i should have never let them out of the bag!!! You guys will be depleting my source!!!!

[Melanie]

Lol.. I'm blaming you anyway, Bekah:-D Anyway, you won't be buying any more books after next week, so your source will replenish itself before 2012:-D

Are they better than thriftbooks?

[Jennifer]

haha. since you were so generous to share your source, you can have first dibs on anything I have, though chances are you've read everything I've ordered!!

[Bekah, Fellow Kleypasaholic]

probably but you have to list what you bought anyway!

[Lisa Kay]

Okay, I just finished my on-line shopping at betterworldbook.com I really am trying to be good, so the choices are ones I had to make b/c their were not available at the library. They are:

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

**gasp** You haven't read Ian Mackenzie???????? I'm shocked!

[Lisa Kay]

Dhes, I wondered if you would pick up on that! LOL! God, you are quick. But, seeing as it is one of your favorite books... And I know, I know! I thought I bought it, but I can't find it. Maybe it fell behind the headboard. So, here I am getting (another?) one, finally.

Picture of shocked Dhes, but please, don't use your spector for evil!

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Damn! I look just like that, too! LOL

I'll refrain from using my zap wand, but you must promise to read Ian first!

[Lisa Kay]

But...but, Dhes, I thought you wanted me to read ! (Hee hee).

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Don't make me get out my whip stick!!

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Lisa Kay wrote: "But...but, Dhes, I thought you wanted me to read ! (Hee hee)."

Oh, and I actually own that book, but didn't know it. I'm going to read it very soon because I LOVED her Texas Trilogy.

[Bekah, Fellow Kleypasaholic]

hmmm...maybe i should be buying this one then....

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Bekah wrote: "hmmm...maybe i should be buying this one then...."

Her Texas Trilogy, Texas Destiny, Texas Glory and Texas Splendor were very good. First read by this author and I'm hooked. The heat factor is low, but the story is so good, the romance and the sexual tension, that I don't feel like the stories are lacking. And there's some there, but not terribly graphic.

[Bekah, Fellow Kleypasaholic]

yeah, I bought the first book in that trilogy...I'm thinking I should get A Rogue in Texas now!!!

:-)

[Lisa Kay]

[image error]

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Probably! That way if you love it you can buy it later, too. Or do you not have that caveat?

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

So no one answered... is BWB better than thriftbook.com?

[Lisa Kay]

Dhes, I can't compare as I only have used Amazon and BWB. I signed up for thriftbooks.com last week, but I was good and didn't buy anything. Today, alas, I relapsed into my addiction...

[Bekah, Fellow Kleypasaholic]

um, yes I do have that caveat...that's why I should probably buy it!!!!

:-)

I've never used thriftbooks either....I'll check into it and see...I'm just so used to bwb and their format.

[Lisa Kay]

Huh??? Dhes, I thought you were the one who suggested A Rogue in Texas. Or maybe you suggested another in the series and I wanted to start at the beginning? I'm getting too old for this; I can barely remember the challenges I'm in. I also needed the "R" to spell M.A.R.C.H., but couldn't find it at the bookstore or the library. Guess I'll use it for A.P.R.I.L. (view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)]

[Jennifer]

Bekah, yes in my excitement I forgot to post my recent haul.

My BWB order:



And I went with Pamela Clare for my two e-books:

[Bekah, Fellow Kleypasaholic]

Great Books!! Jennifer!

[MashJ]

you've all totally cracked haven't you!!

[Lisa Kay]

Yes, Mshj, LOL. I cracked!! I couldn't stand it, everyone else was doing it. The covers were too pretty. I needed a fix after people started talking about BOXES arriving at their door. I was weak.

[Melanie]

Lol.. You're all very bad girls for giving in that way:-D

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

No, I recommended her Texas Trilogy, Lisa Kay. Bekah wrote: "hmmm...maybe i should be buying this one then...."

Texas Destiny, Texas Glory and Texas Splendor were very good.

I own A Rogue in Texas but didn't know it, so I added the next two from BWB.

[Lisa Kay]

Sugar! I'm trying to get to . Just realised it's the first one in the series. I thought I had to read to get to it. Oh well.

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Lisa Kay wrote: "Sugar! I'm trying to get to . "

Totally different authors. I love and have the rest of the series to read.

i like it much better Dhes. Besides, it helps literacy!;) xxxxxx

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Thanks, Autumn. Only certain books from thriftbooks go towards literacy programs, so if all books qualify with BWB I'll shop them whenever possible, too.

[Autumn]

YES! and they are also very environmentally friendly. I want to take a leap of faith and believe in all their goodness. It offsets my guilty pleasures a tiny bit hhheheh

[E.]

Hmmm, I bought: . I'm really adoring my library bookstore, even if some of the books are not in great shape. But hey, if I'm lucky, I'll find the ones that I want.

You would point that out now. :-)

[Laura]

Okay, I was bad and did a third order from BWB and got the following from the same list I've been buying from.

Toy Soldiers by William P. Kennedy
The Last Days of the Romanovs: Tragedy at Ekaterinburg by Helen Rappaport
The Jester by James Patterson
Savage Desire by Constance O'Banyon

Elaine Barbieri
Hawk's Passion
Hawk's Prize

Linda Lael Miller
Here and Then (Time Travel, #2)Timeless


I also tried thriftbook.com and lucked out on some more books from same list that I haven't been able to find elsewhere

Linda Lael Miller
Ragged Rainbows
Fletcher's Woman
Wanton Angel
Lauralee

Constance O'Banyon
Savage Spring
Savage Winter
Rebel Temptress

Between those orders and my pre-orders I definitely don't need anymore books so I'm now doing a self-imposed ban for a bit until I get through some more of my TBR pile.

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Hey, Lisa Kay, don't blame me!!!! Goodreads has that handy feature that shows the author's name.

I'll accept blame for just about anything.. including global warming and Obama's hair loss, but you're not going to blame ME for that mistake!!!

Besides, they're excellent books. You'll love them all :)

[Bekah, Fellow Kleypasaholic]

lol...that handy feature that shows the author's name...

too much!!

You guys are too much!

[Lisa Kay]

Dhes, Where? Where does it say the author's name? Huh? I don't see it. And that is besides the point! You are on of the best worst at getting me to add to my uncontrollable TBR pile. This little error of mine yours adds three more books.

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Lisa Kay wrote: "This little error of mine yours adds three more books."

And doesn't that just break my heart?? ROFLMAO!!!!

[Lisa Kay]

Dhes, You have a heart? Let's check. Oh yes, there's your heart! Tiny isn't it? Hee hee. :-)


I can hear it breaking from here. Elton & Kiki!!

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Oh Lord, I got so sick of hearing that song!

[Lisa Kay]

Good! [Just teasing! :-)]
