I was away from home for Christmas Break this week so most of what I got I downloaded for my Kindle. Here is my haul this week.

 

  1. After reading a great review of Moonburn by Alisa Sheckley, I decided to buy it.
  2. Since it was second  by the author, I bought The Better to Hold You too.
  3. Everyone says that The Adoration of Jenna Fox is amazing. I have a copy in my Media Center but wanted one of my own.
  4. I have the other two "Born of" books on my Kindle but wanted to have the first one too. So I bought Born of Night by Sherrilyn Kenyon. (Now, what do I do with the print copy?)
  5. Again, I have the next two Jane Jameson books by Molly Harper for my Kindle. So I decided to buy the Kindle edition of Nice Girls Don't Have Fangs. (Have a print copy of this one too to get rid of.)

 

 

  1. Wake by Lisa McMann was offered by her publisher as a PDF. I downloaded it but hated reading it in that format on my computer. So I bought the Kindle version. Much nicer to read.
  2. While shopping the Kindle store, I noted that they were offering free books again. So I downloaded Once Bitten by Kaylana Price, Murder Takes the Cake by Gayle Trent, and The Crossroads Cafe by Deborah Smith.
  3. I have also heard amazing things about Gone by Michael Grant and wanted to give it a try.


  1. Deadtown by Nancy Holzner has been getting lots of buzz on blogs. I like the genre and thought it would be a good book for me.

     

  2. Here are the other two Jane Jamison books by Molly Harper -- Nice Girls Don't Live Forever and Nice Girls Don't Date Dead Men. I loved Nice Girls Don't Have Fangs and really want to get to these two soon.

     

  3. Gentlemen Prefer Succubi by Jill Myles sounded good and had a cute trailer. I am currently reading it.

     

  4. I saw the movie Sherlock Holmes while I was home on break and thought it was very good. It made me want to read the stories and novels again. I got the whole collection for $.99 for my Kindle.

     
I did stop over at school (where all my packages are delivered) when I got back to town Saturday to see if any books had arrived during Break. There was just one lone box for me. (Monday ought to be a reallly good day though.)

 
Waiting for me at school was My Soul to Save by Rachel Vincent.

Why is it that I always have to look up the title of that book? I just can't remember which order they come in -- Take, Lose, Save, Keep? Save, Lose, Take, Keep? Must be old age! Why couldn't they just be alphabetical or numbered?

 
That was my week. How was yours?
