There’s no one particular book at the moment, but I have been eyeing a couple of manga series.
I love your podcast — it’s my weekly addiction — but I always wind up with more books for my TBR shelf, so I could really use this card 🙂
(sure, me and everybody else, right?!)
Top of my list, currently, is The House of Shattered Wings by Aliette de Bodard
I’ve been scooping up romances on my kindle from yall’s and others recommendations at great prices — so much that I have neglected one of my favorite fantasy romance genre writers, Robin D Ownens.
If I had a gift card I’d scoop up Heart Change and a few clicker training books for our #cleartheshelters puppy.
Thanks for another awesome giveaway.
I don’t have a particular one, so many to choose from. Any number of cozy murder mystery books are out that I would love to read. Thanks for the chance 🙂 jslbrown2009 at aol dot com
Oh, what a lovely thing to do! Are we allowed to pick books that haven’t been published yet? Because I am absolutely on the edge of my seat waiting for Hold Me, by Courtney Milan. I can’t wait to see what she does with that story.
I’ve been hearing so much about Lilah Pace, I’ll buy her first book when I have money in my Amazon account. Is BEGGING FOR IT or ASKING FOR IT first?
P.S. The widget isn’t showing up at all.
The new Terry Pratchett – it’s going to make me cry, I am fairly sure of that, but it’ll be a good cry, right?
Oh I would splurge and get The Oxford Companion to Food.
I can’t see a widget.
Oh the wallet is short but the wish list is long!!!!
What a great idea, thank you!
I think I’d splurge on a hard collection of Ilona Andrews books. I have e and paperbacks mixed. Id love all of them to sit on my bookshelf.
I can’t see a widget either.
There are a lot of books on my list, but first I’d buy Pamela Morsi’s Courting Miss Hattie. It’s the only one of her historical romances I haven’t read.
The new Christina Lauren book that comes out tomorrow is at the top of my list today.
I’m widgetless as well. Glad it’s not just me.
Right now, probably books 3-8 of Seanan McGuire’s October Daye series. I’m almost finished binge reading it, and sending them back to the library makes me sad.
Definitely the new Meredith Duran book!
I can’t think of a specific book at the moment, but If I win, it would put a serious dent in my Amazon wish list. Yay giveaways!
I’m not seeing a widget, either.
Next up for me is starting Mary Balogh’s Survivor’s Club series.
Sonali Dev’s The Bollywood Bride. Absolutely. Two more weeks (and hopefully an Amazon gift card!) and it’s mine!
Nothing in mind at the moment, but I could definitely use some relaxation reading these days to help deal with a very intense job.
The new Saga volume – out this week!
Whatever the next book to be released by Patricia Briggs, Ilona Andrews, Julie James or Jill Shalvis is always at the top of my buy list!!!
Latest Tessa Dare – haven’t broken down and bought it yet!
I second ALL of the above. No widget 🙁
Probably The Conspiracy of Us by Maggie Hall. 🙂
My bad! I realized the widgets are troublesome, switched to “leave a comment” and forgot to remove the widget reference. Apologies! If you leave a comment as stated above, you are entered to win.
I just bought Archangel’s Enigma by Nalini Singh. It was the top of my list, now I just need to get some free time so I can enjoy it.
I’d like to pick up Lynne Graham’s latest books. I might also pick up some manga along the way.
I’m really looking forward to the new Lisa Kleypas historical that is coming soon…more like super excited!!!
Based on your recent review. I’d buy Lumberjanes!
I have too many autobuys! However, I just added the new Mercy Thompson book that comes out March 7. I also preorder Ilona Andrews, Faith Hunter, Seanan McGuire, C.S. Harris, and Laurie R. King
The Heart Goes Last (Margaret Atwood) or After Alice (Gregory Maguire). Love these two!
Thank you 🙂
my 2 year old nephew loves books so I would probably browse the store for books for him. have to start them young
I want to read the next JD Robb Devoted in Death or Christine Feehan Dark Ghost.
The top of the wishlist is Lois Bujold’s Gentleman Jole and the Red Queen.
I’m keeping an eye out for sales on Rock Redemption by Nalini Singh and books from Sarina Bowen. I haven’t read SBs books yet. But have heard all the gushing.
Normally I’d say the next JD Robb, Devoted in Death, but I’m on a reserve list at the library, so no need to buy it in hardcover. I’d splurge and buy the kindle version of Vision in Silver by Anne Bishop, and then add the audible narration to it. The book is great, the series is wonderful and the narration is perfect for this series.
Currently looking at the new JR Ward Black Dagger Brotherhood novel!
Thanks for the chance to win! My next up books are the two new ones due from Michelle Sagara West and White Hot from Ilona Andrews 🙂
The new christina Lauren book!
I want to buy the newest Terry Pratchett. I went to my bookstore last week and they didn’t have it. WTF? And they wonder why I have been buying a lot of books for my Kobo.
Thanks for the giveaway.
I’m most looking forward to Jenny Lawson’s (The Bloggess) Furiously Happy.
