It is! I'm reading Way of Kings right now and Words of Radiance is even bigger! Apparently WoK was so big they had to cut 20 pages to be able to bind it haha

Loved Shadow & Bone and Crewel, Kelly! Also Star Crused, that is an AMAZING series!


Rose (The_Calm_Reader) (roselittlebookowl75) | 1372 comments @Jenny it was a book I won through the contest for Goodreads we just had. I thought that's where you got your book, didn't know you ordered them lol :)

Jenny (juliababyjen) | 12932 comments Mod
Ah okay, well which one did you win? lol

Yes, back in February I think, David was taking orders for anyone who wanted signed books now that he was back in the states. I ordered all 7 of the Country Saga and Dwellers books, and the first Nikki Powergloves for Tessa. Got half of them today!!


Rose (The_Calm_Reader) (roselittlebookowl75) | 1372 comments @Jenny I won The Moon Dwellers! Can't wait to get it! That's so cool that you ordered the whole set signed! I downloaded Nikki Powergloves for Lexi on her Kindle!

Harlee | 1583 comments @Kelly How long have you been using Thriftbooks? I've never heard of it before and now that I looked it up I'm interested in it haha I'm always looking for good deals on books!

Jenny (juliababyjen) | 12932 comments Mod
Tessa loves Nikki Powergloves, she's read them all! But we have them in ebook, so it will be nice for her to have a physical book! Signed no less!

And same for me, I have them all as ebooks, but I want them for my shelves! I've almost ordered them in paperback on Amazon numerous times, but I'm glad I waited for signed ones. So much more special :)

Katie.g @Kritika. My WoK book is split into two parts so it's like having two reasonable sized books. I will be rereading it before starting on WoR.

Ah yay Jenny! So glad you got *some of* your books. Hopefully the rest will come soon!

And Rose, I hope you get yours soon too! Should be any day now, every day someone else tells me they got their package :)

Oh ok, that definitely sounds more manageable! I bought the kindle version so it's a "manageable" size but one of my friends has the hardcover and it is so huge!

I'm so jealous! I'd love to have those in print! And no fair, you're not supposed to look that good with no effort.

Nancy (paper_addict) Friday I bought Water and Storm Country and already finished reading it last night. I just literally bought Earth Dwellers so I can finish up both series. I can't wait for my kids and hubby to go to bed so I can read!

Peri | 678 comments I was just at a local used bookstore, and I got Every Day by David Levithan and Lock and Key by Sarah Dessen


message 2478: by Jenny, Always smiling! :-D (new)

Jenny (juliababyjen) | 12932 comments Mod
I really liked Every Day, although it didn't live up to the hype for me. But still a good read!

Kelly | 75 comments Just bought the following books in hardback at BAM:

UnearthlyCrescendoOriginDays of Blood & Starlight

I got these in paperback:
FeverFull MoonShadow and Bone

I am in love with Books A Million now. I have never bought any books there before but they have such good prices! The most expensive book I bought was Days of Blood & Starlight and it was a whopping $5.97 in hardback. Most of the others were $3 or $4. I got so excited that I forgot that I already bought Shadow and Bone in ebook!

Jen (jenwesner) | 1222 comments I picked these up on my last trip to Ollie's -

Crossed (Matched, #2) by Ally Condie Reached (Matched, #3) by Ally Condie Proxy (Proxy, #1) by Alex London Broken Wings (Angel Eyes #2) by Shannon Dittemore

and found these at Goodwill - nice heavy paperbacks, 50th year edition
The Horse and His Boy (Chronicles of Narnia, #3) by C.S. Lewis Prince Caspian (Chronicles of Narnia, #4) by C.S. Lewis The Last Battle (Chronicles of Narnia, #7) by C.S. Lewis

I also got something in the mail from Liz (booktube buddy), but I haven't opened it yet - waiting to do it on camera. She did a video about topics in books that make us uncomfortable, and I commented that I had Forbidden by Tabitha Suzuma and was giving it away. She said she'd trade me for it, so I sent it to her. A fun book swap!

And I picked these up at Half Price Books, since our copies have either gone to live with kids or are completely falling apart -

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (Harry Potter, #3) by J.K. Rowling Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (Harry Potter, #4) by J.K. Rowling Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (Harry Potter, #2) by J.K. Rowling

I love going to Ollie's - sometimes they have some pretty good stuff and I almost always find a book I can't pass up. Goodwill is also an excellent place to find some good books. :)
I know there are some Half Price Books within about an hour from me - but I haven't been...yet!

And I just bought Unearthly--I've been wanting to buy those books for my shelves forever--$4 for hardcover, had to jump on that!

message 2496: by Kelly (new)

Kelly | 75 comments Jenny-I was so excited by Unearthly too. I have been wanting to read it forever and never dreamed I would find it in hardback at that price. You mentioned you shop online at BAM a lot. Are there always good deals like these?
