Blood Red Road is different, but I LOVED it! Unfortuantely, I didn't like the sequel as much--but still planning on reading Raging Star by Moira Young when it comes out this year!

Just got Horde (Razorland, #3) by Ann Aguirre !! YAY!

Jen, on that note, if I send you the money in advance, would you buy a set from the book store hosting Mike's event and get them signed for me? ;-) I'll pay for postage, shipping boxes, a coffee, cupcakes, chocolate, whatever it takes to entice you!!

If I can't be there in person, I'd like to at least help support the cause and have my own set of signed books to add to my collection.

Aww, seen this post a bit too late; I practically holed myself away trying to finish that 700+ page book I was currently reading lol! :( But I would definitely buddy-read Starters with you sometime! Any month/date you had in mind?

I'll probably be peeking at the buddy read thread for Incarnate too anyway. :3

message 1889: by Jen (new)

Jen (jenwesner) | 1222 comments My love for Ollies Bargain Outlet remains true. Here is yesterday's haul:

Natural Born Angel (Immortal City, #2) by Scott Speer The Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum A Temptation of Angels by Michelle Zink Ashes on the Waves by Mary Lindsey Origin by Jessica Khoury Slated (Slated, #1) by Teri Terry

I already had the Puffin Classics version of Peter Pan, so I got Wizard of Oz to match. I also have Slated, but I have it in paperback and have Fractured (book 2) in hardback. So I got Slated in hardback to match. Now I have a paperback to give away! Ashes on the Waves was a total cover buy, although I did check its rating. And Natural Born Angel is the sequel to Immortal City, for which I'd been looking for awhile now.

Total spent was $13. Not bad for 6 books! I love Ollies so much . . .

Jenny (juliababyjen) | 12932 comments Mod
Great deals, Jen! I also want to read Natural Born Angel, but need to read the first one first! I also have Origin on my shelves to read. And I've been wanting Temptation of Angels, that looks so good!
