Jen (jenwesner) | 1222 comments I did a Booktube update on this - but I'll also share it here cause who doesn't love sharing new books they've bought? Woo-hoo!

Last weekend I got:
The Returned by Jason Mott Slated (Slated, #1) by Teri Terry All Our Yesterdays by Cristin Terrill When She Woke by Hillary Jordan Starters (Starters and Enders, #1) by Lissa Price

Of these, I think I'm most excited about When She Woke. I'm already halfway through The Returned and All Our Yesterdays.

That one click is no joke! And the fact that they have an app available for every platform doesn't help either. I lay I bed and look for books that I may want to buy... many a purchase has gone this way... :)

message 1281: by Miranda (new)

Miranda (somecrazygingerkid) I know lol I've had my kindle for about four years I think and I've noticed one clicking has completely ruined me haha I still order or go to the bookstore for soft/hardback copies but if I'm wanting something STAT one clicking is my BFF ;) and the freebies don't even get me started LOL

Freebies always get me. I have about well... almost 600 books on my Kindle and I've read about 5 already! O_o
Okay, make that 6. I'm almost done with another one. And then eventually it'll be 7, but that's just a blog tour.
Oh well. Every bit of it counts as extremely slow cleaning! though cleaning might as well not count since for every one book I read, I buy at least 20 more freebies... O_o

Jen (jenwesner) | 1222 comments Here is why you should always check the book section at Dollar Tree - last night I found these for $1 each -

Ruby Red (Precious Stone Trilogy, #1) by Kerstin Gier Prince of Persia by Jordan Mechner

I just about dropped from amazement when I saw Ruby Red in hardcover! The other is a graphic novel, I think based on both the game and the movie. Amazing finds. Always check the books, no matter what shop you're in --
