[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Books I've ordered or intend to order with a 2012 date, in no particular order -

Gunmetal Magic Blood Kin Fury's Kiss Once Burned

[Josie]

Good list Sandra, 2012 looks like it's going to be a good year for reading! :D

I've only pre-ordered Fury's Kiss and Alien Diplomacy so far but will probably do a couple more before the new year. At the moment, I've been taking advantage of the Kindle sale that Ames mentioned ;)

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

LOL, I'll be getting to that shortly :D

[Vi]

Isn't the last book in the Sirantha Jax series coming out in October? Apart from the books you mentioned, the ones I'm looking forward to are off the top of my head are:

Endgame Ashes of Honor

List is bound to get longer once I start remembering :D

See, I'd forgotten all about #6 Sirantha Jax, I'll go add that to my list at BD.

This is why I need the brains trust out there in SOS-land.

Ughh...sorry! The full sentence should have included "to be pre-ordered"...over abbreviation! It's not up yet, but saw September 1 as the release date on fictfact.

[Regina]

Your post reminded me that I need to add the Sookie book. Yes, I am still buying it! :) I have hope it will be better than last year's.

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

I forgot to add Stygian's Honor to my list (it was so long ago I preordered that one. LOL) and thanks Judithe, I didn't know about Shadow's Claim.

[Judithe, Soap Operas never end....]

I've been double-checking everyone else's too, to make sure I didn't forget one...and spot another "have-to-grab" one! Thanks for reminding me about By a Thread!!

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

I'd just like to thank you all for your contributions :)

I added quite a few to my already oversized order and my cc thanks you too :DDD

[[deleted user]]

Lol.. I know what you mean I managed to buy a few from my list before the new year started, it's a vicious circle!

[Judithe, Soap Operas never end....]

Ughh...I added, but didn't finish the order! YIKES!

[Steph, Serious series addict]

LOL! Ya'll are crackin' me up! :D

[Judithe, Soap Operas never end....]

:)

I'll just bet you squeezed in a few more purchases, too, when you were stateside...how's your balance looking?

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Girl, I don't even wanna count the # of books I bought while in the states. LOL! But, my scale should be okay for about ... 1-2 months. >:)

[Judithe, Soap Operas never end....]

I loved traveling with my kids when they were little...2 bags each x 3 people...and only 1/2 of those were needed for clothes and stuff. Guess what went into at least one of the extra BIG bags...

[Steph, Serious series addict]

LOL! I hear ya!
ETA: Thank GOODNESS for eBooks! :D

Judithe, Judithe, Judithe what are we gonna do with you?

I got lots of ebooks too in the last 2 weeks of the yr, though most were novellas. So that should help the balance.

[Judithe, Soap Operas never end....]

:D

My lottery ticket didn't win...so I have to be a little more discriminating than I'd like...

[Lis]

Alright having a case of cover love... And this is another must have for me in 2012, hurry up september...

[Steph, Serious series addict]

I have books 1-2 in that series TBR. You like them, Lis?

[Lis]

I do. It has a unique world building that is lite Steampunk and alternate history in the set-up. The vampires are not the traditional romantic type, pretty dark and scary. Maybe it's the husband wife writing teams that have a good formula going, not sure? I know this one has mixed reviews so it doesn't work for everyone, but I like different create storylines and this one works for me.

Mine:

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Aside from my favorite series, some of the new series I'm anxious for this year include:
(Some by my favorite authors; some new2me)



ETA: Woohoo! I see GR fixed the horizontal v. vertical cover issue while I was away. That was nice of them.

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Steph, did you buy many while you were in Hawaii?

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Actually, believe it not, I did not step into one bookstore while we were there. Spent all our time outside, in the water, or shoveling food in our face. LOL!

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Probably just as well. LOL.
