What books have you bought recently?
I got
on sale for $2.99 (I think - maybe $1.99) this morning. BFF Jen has raved about it on her BookTube channel so had to have it! ;)

Yowza! I just won an ARC of
from another favorite author, Mindy McGinnis! Mindy did a Q&A in our group in 2014. Love her! :)

I didn't realize it was a duology, but I'm starting to get tired of long series, so I'm okay with that :)

Yeah, when I got the email from Barnes and Noble about pre-ordering it, that's what it said. I feel the same way sometimes, especially with the Throne of Glass series. I didn't much like Empire of Storms and hope that the next one is better.
it is strange for a long time all there was was trilogies now there are lots of duologies. both good tho.
I am okay with the Throne of Glass series being long, I absolutely adore it, but I sincerely hope that they keep the 6th book as the final book. I really don't like more than 5 books in most series, but I'm okay with 6 in this one.
I feel a lot of trilogies aren't necessary--a lot of them could get by with 2 books. Duologies are just fine with me! But it all depends on the series. When you fall in love with characters, you do want to keep reading about them!

Yupp, The worst is when you have a GREAT first book and then the sequels are degrees of mediocre.
I got
from my bestie as a Xmas gift last night. I just finished poring through it! All kinds of cool extra items to look at like maps, ID cards, etc. And full of little tidbits not in the movie! Loved it! Oh, and I went to see the movie again this evening. ;)

Thank you! Books have been my best friends for so long that I hope to pass on the same love to my students.

I just have my grandkids, but I try to do the same thing. If they even drop a tiny hint about anything book related, it's in their hands within a day!

Finished my Christmas shopping tonight! I had a coupon for 20% off my order at BAM, so I threw in a book for me too! Found it in the bargain section:

I received the Blu Ray box set of all the Harry Potter movies for Xmas from my son and grandkiddies!! I see a HP marathon in my near future!! ;-D
I also got a bunch of Barnes & Noble gift cards from the rest of my friends and family! Yeah!!
Happy holidays everyone!

I was so excited for that book, but then I heard lots of negative review, and now I'm on the fence on whether to buy it.

I think I may have to have that copy of The Book Thief! I missed out on the signed copies at Barnes and Noble on Black Friday. :( Apparently those were the first ones to sell out.
