Books, glorious books! I really have no money at the moment so I was trying to be so good and not buy any books at all this month. Then I got an email from The Book Depository saying that they're offering an extra 10% discount off everything for the month of May. Curse them! This prompted me to order a load of books that were on my wishlist, that I was worried might go out of print soon. This week I got-
Bought:
- Liar Society by Lisa and Laura Roecker. I've wanted this for ages, it looks so fun.
- Born at Midnight by C.C Hunter. Another one off my wishlist, heard good things about it. It's about a camp for teenage supernaturals, and includes a love triangle.
- Tempest Rising by Tracy Deebs. I know it's silly to say that I have no money, and then confess that I spent more money on this book because I preferred this US cover to the UK cover. But look at the pretty! Romance story with mermaids.
- Timeless by Alexandra Monir. Ok- I've really wanted this book since it came out in the US in January, and when TBD offered 10% off I really couldn't resist! This is a romantic story with a time-travelling element.
- Dark Heart Rising by Lee Monroe. Book 2 in the Dark Heart series. I just finished book 1 in this series and liked it. I saw this book at the supermarket quite cheap and added it to my trolley.
From the Library:
- Married With Zombies by Jesse Petersen. If it weren't for all the excellent reviews that I've seen on blogs praising this book I never would have ordered it. I wouldn't have thought it was my kind of thing. Now after hearing how much people love it I really want to read it. Humour with zombies. Bring it on!
Gifted:
- Moon Called by Patricia Briggs. Book 1 in the Mercy Thompson series. I've wanted to read this series for ages, and after mentioning on my IMM last week that my bookshop had books 2 and 3 but not book 1, lovely Ellie over at Curiosity Killed the Bookworm offered to send me her old copy to read. So now I have the first 3 books- Thanks Ellie! I swear book bloggers are just the nicest people in the world!
So those were all the books that I got this week. What did you get?
Great IMM - I will look forward to your review on Tempest Rising :)
ReplyDeleteI'm just reading Dark Heart Rising too and so far so good. Here's my IMM http://bookpassionforlife.blogspot.com/ - Donna
I completely forgot about the discount! Thanks for reminding me, I think I'll go throw all my mums money away (shes gone away for a week and left me money for 'food')
ReplyDeleteI'm always buying US covers because they are prettier (despite the expense). Then I forget I've done it and wonder why it's taking so long to deliver (this is an Amazon problem, not BD)
Lots of lovely books this week, hope you enjoy them - particularly Dark Heart Rising since I'm already considering buying the first in the series because of you :)
good mailbox, we have one matching

Great IMM!! I really want to read Born at Midnight. I can't wait to see what you think of it! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThey're all great books! You know, I think book buying bans just don't work. Ever. I'm giving up on mine lol.
ReplyDeleteI just took Moon Called off my wish list a couple of weeks ago because I just wasn't sure about it at all. I've hardly seen any reviews for it. I see it might be going on on there if you enjoy it lol.
I hope you enjoy Moon Called! :)
ReplyDeleteThat Book depository offer is very dangerous...I've taken a few books off my own wishlist in the last couple of weeks! :-)
ReplyDeleteMoon Called is a great read - I hope you like the series. Mercy is one of my favourite heroines. :-)
The Book Depository discount came in handy for all the giveaway winners I had to purchase this week! I have several of these on my TBR as well!! Tempest Rising and Liar Society and both staring at me calling my name..lol.
ReplyDeleteHappy Reading!
Tempest Rising sounds so good! I can't wait to get my hands on a copy of it! You're going to love the Mercy Thompson series, so good! Have a wonderful week! ;)

You got some lovely books this week! I especially want to read Timeless out of all of those! Looking forward to your review!
ReplyDeleteHaven't taken advantage of the BD offer yet, but I will some time this week, as my brother wants all the LOTR books and I can never say no to the chance of even cheaper books!
Happy reading!

Great books! I really liked Timeless and have heard nothing but great reviews on Tempest Rising. I hope you enjoy all of these!
