Nice ! How do you guys get signed copies by mail ? Do you order them or something ? I can't get my US books signed in book fairs here in France, US authors usually don't travel that far...
I've read it already, Enjoy Karen !

Rose (The_Calm_Reader) (roselittlebookowl75) | 1372 comments There were some great deals on Amazon Kindle yesterday. I got Once Upon A Prince (since I’m obsessed w the royal wedding) for $.99! I also got Nevernight for $2.99 and Song of Achilles for $1.99. I have to say I’m most excited for Song of Achilles as I’ve never read much Greek Mythology and it’s got great reviews.

I almost bought Nevernight. But I decided to hold off, mainly because I really want the physical book.

Rose (The_Calm_Reader) (roselittlebookowl75) | 1372 comments @Jenny I bought The Last Namsara today for $1.99 on Kindle and The Glass Spare for $1.99 also, couldn’t resist! I also bought Song of Achilles for $1.99 a few days ago. Not a bad price for three books. Not that I don’t have a lot of physical books, because I do, but I prefer my Kindle because of my eyesight.

While at Phx Comic Fest (formerly Phx ComiCon), I bought The Final Six (The Final Six, #1) by Alexandra Monir and got tons of my books signed! Soooooo much fun!! I have to unpack and sort through them and once I do, I'll post a photo of them here.

I also just got The Restless Wave Good Times, Just Causes, Great Fights and Other Appreciations by John McCain and Legendary (Caraval, #2) by Stephanie Garber in the mail. Legendary was actually for my granddaughter because she loved Caraval so much. Caraval was ok for me, but I wasn't over the moon and not sure I want to read book 2.

I really really need to stop buying books now! I have way too many new ones right now. I'm putting myself on a book buying ban for a while! 😬
