Pre-Orders: What books are you pre-ordering so far in 2011?

[Regina]

While I am nervous and antsy waiting for Shadowfever, I thought it would be fun to list the pre-orders we are all doing so far this year. This is my pre-order list so far:



I am conflicted about whether I will pre-order these or do the library:


Ones I will be buying once they are available for pre-order:

Aftermath (Sirantha Jax 5 by Aguirre) Untitled (alpha & omega 3 by Briggs)Envy (Fallen Angels 3 by Ward)

[Literary Ames]

Here's what I have for paperbacks:



Now that I have a Kindle though, I'm wondering if it would be better to get the ebook instead. *bites lip*

[Regina]

Oh!!!! I love doing kindle pre orders cuz they are delivered while you sleep.

[Literary Ames]

That's a definite advantage!

[Nicole]

@_@ Shadowfever @_@

I don't usually do preorders but i think i might start...they seem to be a lot cheaper and i think Amazon is still offering Prime free for a year...

Books I will 100% be buying:


Books I'll probably get from the library or through book trades:


that's all i can think of at the moment...there might be more!

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Regina, you read my mind! Or looked in my in-box! I just got a notification yesterday that my pre-ordered copy of is on it's way! Yay!

Some others I've pre-ordered:


I pre-ordered b/c it's almost 50% off by doing it that way. Have high hopes for this one, we'll see.

Haven't yet, but may pre-order:


And is frustrating me b/c Amazon is only selling the hardcover for $15.09 and BD has HC for $19.46 -both on 31 May- PB $8.32 but not until 11 Aug. I want this one (and bad), but would prefer PB, but want it in May, not Aug. LOL! Augh :\

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Oh, and I forgot about and , which I will most likely pre-order, as well.

[Lisa M]

You're going to be sorry you asked. I have a serious overload of series to pre-order. :)

Here are the books that I have already pre-ordered or will be pre-ordering in paperback or for the Kindle:

Crave The Moon
The Darkest Surrender

Redemption

I can't wait!

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Good ones! How do like Sentinel Wars? I keep thinking I'll start it soon, but still haven't yet.

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Preorders in no particular order

Steph, I just noticed BD price for Kiss of Snow has gone down. You might want to check it out. I had to succumb to the hardback, couldn't wait for the pb.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Thanks, I'll look again. I don't think I'll be able to wait for PB either. *sigh*

Oh, you reminded me to take a look for Kiss at Your Own Risk. I enjoyed Stephanie's other series and want to check that one out too. Wonder if I could entice the AU postman to detour all your book orders to Japan? LOL! :D

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Don't say that, I have a hard enough time with him now!

I wasn't sure about the first one, but I'm glad I kept reading! I love the series! They're consistently 4 to 4 1/2 stars to me.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Sandra wrote: "Don't say that, I have a hard enough time with him now!"

LMAO!! Oh, okay. :(

That's great to hear, Lisa. I'll definitely have to add them to my "don't forget to start in 2011" list. Thanks!

[Christina (AKA Babbling)]

Since I've moved, I've cut back a little on the number of books I pre-order. I still do it though, since it's one way to plan/budget for the books I MUST have. Once I rack up enough Amazon award points for a GC, I will either (a) cancel and re-order the pre-order using the GC (I just did this for the first time, I don't know why I hadn't thought of it before) or (b) Look through the WL for other books that I was interested in. Amazon's pretty good with release day delivery. And thank goodness for Amazon Prime, especially now with Agency pricing restrictions for new releases.

So....books:



oops...left two of them off the list:

[Desperado]

I rarely pre-order since my book budget is almost nonexistent. Not to mention, I'm not one of those people who just has to read a book the day it comes out. Because of my nonexistent budget, I've learned how to be patient.

But I have around $70 on my Amazon gift cards from Xmas so I'm planning on buying these at some point for 2011:

[Mandy]

I don't pre-order normally, but I did pre-order Shadowfever (and started it when I woke up this morning!) and Twice Dead by Catherine Coulter (releases Feb. 1st), because both were such good prices on the Nook (and I was dying to find out what happens to Mac!).

[CyberAlmu]

I have pre-ordered, as most of you have done, River Marked

I still have to read #3-#5 (which I have already order and hopefully will be arriving sometime this week) but, anyway, I know I'll love all of them just as I loved the first 2

I plan to read #1 this month.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Looking forward to your review, Regina. :)

[Jlyates]

I have only preordered up to August; in June or July I will add to the order. What I have so far is



That's it so far. Hopefully, I will be able to afford to get them. I had to cancel my order for C. Feehan's HB of Dark Prince :(

[Mary X]

I'm not pre-ordering anything. I have 900+ books here to read. My goal this year is to cut down on acquiring books and to read some of the ones I have. Every bookshelf I own is stacked 2 deep and overflowing. I need to trim some down. I will still buy some new books but only as I make progress in trimming the TBR and get coupons from Borders.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Such strength, Mary. Good luck! Wish I could do that too ... well, for fleeting moments when I can't find a spot for the ones I have. LOL!

[AlbertaJenn]

I don't pre-order. Working for a bookseller, I get 30% off in-stock books. So I mostly buy books at my store or one of our other locations the day it comes out.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Welcome, AlbertaJenn! That's a nice discount! I'd be waiting too. :)

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

OK. Preordered some more



And you're very lucky AlbertaJenn!

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Ooooo, I want Hidden Embers! LOL!

[AlbertaJenn]

Well, the pay is minimum wage (this is not my day job). I mostly work there cause I love books. And the discount.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

If I liked the store, I would guess that (the discount) would be a good enough reason to work there too. 30% off all books .... tiny piece of heaven. :)

Yeah, I knew you'd say that! LOL.

came in the mail yesterday.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Ya know me so well. Although I'm not known to be quiet when I come across a book or series I really like. :) Can't wait to hear what you think of it.

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

I'll have to schedule it soon then. LOL.

[Regina]

That is a nice cover. ;)

I just pre-ordered Magic Slays, I am so excited for these books which are coming out in the next few months!




I still can't decide if I should wait for the lirary version of Lover Unleashed or not. I hate that it is so pricey for the ebook and with PNR you never know if the couple is going to crash and burn for you.

[Mariya]

My preorders for this year:

[Charlotte (Buried in Books)]

and

The Deadliest Bite
Timeless
Sympathy for the Devil
Succubus Revealed

And that's all for now...

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

I can't believe I forgot have rushed off to add it to list. Thanks Charlotte.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

I'm excited b/c we get two LoTU books in 2011! :D

[Mariya]

I forgot one! (yah! I just posted the cover for this one!)

[Regina]

Thanks for posting mariya. Very cool cove with merit in her leathers. And I see the date is November 2011.

More paperbacks: The only hardback because I cannot wait until 2012!

Kindle edition of is coming out a month before the paperback but at double the price so I'm gonna wait that one out I think. And they're offering Kindle editions on many firsts in a series but not the second. Grrr! I've just clicked the "I’d like to read this book on Kindle" button a dozen times!

[Regina]

Are they books not released yet? If so, don't worry there will be a kindle edition. I used to click dozens of times to and post in kindle forums asking people to click but I see now that all new releases I read are being offered in kindle just the pre order is available a little later than the paper book.

I hate ebook pricing right now!

[Literary Ames]

Are they books not released yet?

Yes. Thanks, Regina! I'll take a look closer to release. Pain in the butt though. I thought I was being forced to get hardcopies.

VAT (sales tax) has just gone up to 20% so all ebooks are more expensive now *sniffsniff*

Damn, I forgot The Darkest Surrender. Guess I need to add that to my list....

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Oh, no, another one I didn't know about. Off to add it to the list!

[Charlotte (Buried in Books)]

Amazon hasn't even got it listed yet!

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Neither has BD, sigh, but I've wishlisted it so I don't forget again.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

:D Yay! LoTU fans! :D

[Charlotte (Buried in Books)]

Oh and I forgot Envy, the third in the Fallen Angels series.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Really liked #2, so I'm anxious for that one too, Charlotte.
