Summer is here, let's hear about your book buying this month.

Well, I swore I was not going to buy any more books until I made a dent in the 67 books I bought last month, but I saw a book on here this morning that looked too good to pass up so, I immediately went to Amazon to order it along with a couple of others. So, I have already bought three books this month!

well in oh about an hour and half i will be purchasing Bullet by LKH.

im trying to cut way down for June. Last month, went to a used book store giving away books. came home with 22 hard covers.

Luckily, I will be gone most of June and will not have the room in my luggage to buy too many books!

i hadn't planned it.. I had actually stopped myself from ordering 7 books earlier in the day, but i just couldn't put these down in the store..
seriously that cover.. oh yeah!!

I am curious about Sherilyn Kenyons alter/personality writing...
so two for this month..... so far... :)

I received my 2nd B&N.com order today along with a half.com order...

You've got some good ones! I'll have to check out B&N again.

My first one of the month from amazon:

I checked to see if the sale was still going and unfortunately books are back to the regular price.

I went to my favourite used bookstore and they were having a sale so all books were $2.00. Since it was my birthday yesterday I bought myself presents =].

That's too bad :( I really wanted to rack on that sale.

I know, I wish it went on awhile longer. I should get my last sale order tomorrow. Only 3 books, bummer.

I received another order from amazon's marketplace:

My last B&N sale order arrived today...

I loved the first book Spider's Bite. So now I can't wait to jump into Web of Lies!

Of course I couldn't resist the used bookstore today:

I went to Anderson's Bookshop today for a book signing. Kim Harrison signed For a Few Demons More for me and Kelley Armstrong signed Frostbitten. I also bought the great The Body Finder and got Kimberly Derting's autograph. I bought a previously signed Out of My Mind by Sharon M. Draper and also bought Mockingbird by Kathryn Erskine and Toads and Diamonds by Heather Tomlinson. In addition, I got my Thriftsbook delivery of Strip Search by William Bernhardt and Still Waters: A Mystery by Nigel McCrery. Not a bad day at all, book-wise.

Nice selections Michelle and Joseph!!

Stopped at Borders because I had $15.00 to spend there before month end. Sadly or true to nature depending on what you decide spent more than the $15.00. Borders didn't have the book I was looking for and I didn't want to order it, so I went to Barnes and Noble to get it...

Deception Point by Dan Brown
Bridget Jones's Diary by Helen Fielding
The Swiss Family Robinson by Johann D. Wyss
The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger
Julie and Julia: My Year of Cooking Dangerously by Julie Powell
The Cincinnati Kid: A Novel by Richard Jessup
C.S.Lewis by A.N. Wilson The Time Capsule by Lurlene McDaniel
I went to my old primary school's fun fair last night.
They were raising money for Haiti so $4.00 for the lot of them was worth it.

You bought all those for $4? Good for you! I loved Cathcher in the Rye.

Yep. they were $0.50 each =]

Thanks!

So far in June I've got:

Wow, I've made it a week into the month and only one purchase, . That has to be a record for me.

I received my amazon order:



From paperback swap:

I went to a ubs and B&N today after my classes and bought...

Don't judge.. My partner told me to order more books, and you don't have to tell me twice.. And I got them all for under $10 brand new.. I love bookdepository.com = that's 15 for the month of June..

Jaime wrote: "Don't judge.. My partner told me to order more books, and you don't have to tell me twice.. And I got them all for under $10 brand new.. I love bookdepository.com = that's 15 for the month of June...."

Judge you?! I'm jealous! I plan of going to the ubs to see if Witch and Warrior are still there. I saw them there on Saturday, but didn't get them, and have been wishing I did ever since.

I have a question Michelle & Jamie, maybe you guys can answer. I have three books to be read by Marie Brennan, . It looks like the first two are the same book with different names. Do you have a clue. I bought them all thinking they were three different books in the series and now I'm confused.

I really enjoyed the Morganville Vamp books. Hope you like them!

Hmmm.... I wish I knew. I haven't gone to the bookstore yet, but I would think the first 2 books are the same book too.

I just received my second paperback swap request:

Hi Looloo..

I am not sure, I was confused as well but, here is the link to Marie Brennans website.. and according to that I think you might have bought two of the same book. Doppelganger and Warrior are the same book. the series is now called 'Doppelganger', and they have updated the covers cause of the sequel.. (Witch)

I hope you kept your receipt.. :)

I bought The white lions of Timbavati by Chris McBride today from my favourite book store for $2.00

I went to a different ubs again today....

Good for you! I swear I'm in the right group. I've already reached my self imposed "book budget" for this month, and we're only into the second week. There's just no way I can go the rest of the month without going to a bookstore or a library sale etc... When I get stressed with work, I have to go to a bookstore. Other people may have a glass of wine after work, I go to a bookstore. Do I sound sick?
LOL!

Oh, and I really enjoyed Fade to Black by Leslie Parrish :)

Jamie - thanks for the info. Didn't even think of looking for her website. LOL, no I don't have the receipt cause I picked them up months ago at a ubs and ebay so I'm not out much thank goodness.

Looloo, you could always try and sell your duplicate copy yourself and use the money for more books, or just trade it for that matter.

I have so far gotten in June:

I got out work early and went back to the ubs:

I'll probably just trade one at the ubs. Definitely won't let it be a total waste.

Michelle - I'm looking for Stealing Kathryn - lucky!!

Found today while browsing:
Vol 1 and 2


@Jamie I want to read The Titan's Curse and Inside Out =D

@Bluemoon I am being patient and on the WL at the Library. Knowing me I'd buy the whole set at the bookstore =D. I really am enjoying the series though.

You are not sick at all! I do the same thing! I know a new book will always make me feel better!

I only went to the ubs just to see if Marie Brennan's Warrior/ Witch series was still available, and found Stealing Kathryn while digging through the shelves in the urban fantasy section. It seems like whenever I go to the ubs "to just get [book title here:]", I end up finding something else that I just have to have.

I'm glad I'm not the only one!
