At the moment the top of my TBR pile is anticipation by Sarah Mayberry (book 2 of brothers ink). It’s been there for so long now!
So many books, so little time! The work-work and housework are feeling the strain 🙂 I’m looking forward to The Highwayman by Kerrigan Byrne, and need to read some classics (Lord of Scoundrels!).
This is awesome! Thank you for the chance! My #1 buy at this moment would be Hollywood Dirt by Alessandra Torre! <3
The Parasol Protectorate series by Gail Carriger.
First up would be Robin D Owens’ Heart Legacy. I own the other 14 books in the Heart series in both paper and ebook formats, these are my go to comfort reads.
Next preorder would be Mary Balogh’s Only Beloved. I just finished Only A Kiss and this series has kept its quality through six books.
J R Ward will have a new Black Dagger related series starting in December, this series is my crack and I will grasp this one immediately.
So many books, so little time!
I’m not sure what I’d buy as my TBR list is so long. Thanks for that. So maybe Kristen Ashley’s new ‘Burg book or the next Patricia Briggs book on my list.
I am currently obsessed with the historical mystery series about Daisy Dalrymple by Carola Dunn!
So many options! I think my first purchase would be Julie Klassen’s “The Secret of Pembrooke Park”
At the top of my list is Sweet Ruin by Kresley Cole.
Love the podcast.
I think the next purchase is going to be Kim Dare’s Duck! reissue!
I’ve just discovered Kristen Ashley, so the top book on my list right now is Rock Chick.
I would love to buy the final two
Books in the Bridgerton series by Julia Quinn! What an awesome give away. I would take a Powell’s Books or Amazon card. Thank you SBTB!
Marie Force’s newest in the Fatal series.
The Affiliate! Can’t wait to read this!
Purchase would be the a whole pile of Lorraine Heath, and Some Caroline Linden, I dont have specific’s would depend on what the stores had in stock!!
Love these surprise giveaways- and thank for your making it open to international’s.
First thing I’d buy would be How to Be a Victorian by Ruth Goodman. I keep eyeing it but the high ebook price is bumming me out, and my library doesn’t have it.
Picking one is just hard: the last Carla Kelly novella coming out soon along Annie Burrowes, Meredith Duran, Lisa kleypas, Lacy Williams, Sherri Shackelford.
Brotherhood in Death by J. D. Robb. Though I’m reading the just-released Devoted in Death now, I can’t wait to read a story featuring the beloved Dennis Mira!
Girl Waits With Gun by Amy Stewart!
The book I’d buy first is “A Red-Rose Chain” by Seanan McGuire. I love the October Daye series so much.
Thanks a lot for this giveaway, and everything you do for the romance genre. 🙂 Love your podcast!
Hmm, I really want to buy the new Kristan Higgins
The Professor by Charlotte Stein
I’m really interested in reading Passage, after reading the review on this site.
No one book in particular, but several autobiographies are on my list.
Blue Lily, Lily Blue by Maggie Stiefvater is the first that comes to mind, but there are so many.
I’ve been listening to your podcast and I’m a dozen or so episodes behind and I’m pretty sure you’ve mentioned or talked to Julie James in the last four, so I’m dying to pick up one of her books.
Top of my to buy list is Burn for Me, by Ilona Andrews. I already read it from the library, but need to own for re-reading purposes.
I’m super excited about the new GA Aiken Dragon Series book, plus I have this crazy fantasy romance called “Romancing the Lady” in my amazon cart.
Up next on my GOTTAReadLIST are Dark Wild Night and Wicked Sexy Liar (Books 3 and 4 in Wild Seasons Series) by Christina Lauren and Dirty Talk by Megan Erickson just out this week -yeah! also a couple more historicals on my To Buy List based on some of your recommendations…Great site and love the blog – Checking in on you ladies you are now a regular part of my every day. Thanks
Amy Poehler’s “Yes, Please!” I’ve been wanting to get it for a long time.
Ooh, maybe “A Fete Worse Than Death” – the first of a 1920s-set mystery series by Dolores Gordon-Smith. I heard her speak recently and she was amusing so am hoping her book will be too.
The new Courtney Milan (who’s been on my auto-buy list since y’all recommended The Governess Affair) or the new Jim Butcher.
Many thanks to you for offering such a lovely prize. I especially appreciate that it’s not locked into a particular store. As for what I’m most coveting right now,
I’m in a nostalgia phase — Amanda Quick,
jayne Ann Krentz, and kay Hooper — the early books.
Ginny
Gosh, I have so many awesome books on my to buy list that I don’t know what I’d jump for first. I know I have several recommendations from this site that would be great to snap up though!
Soooo many books on the list… I guess at the top is Bec McMaster’s Of Silk and Steam!
Top of my Romance book list? I have several, including one that I borrowed a long time ago, loved, and always meant to buy a copy of, but never quite got around to purchasing – Not Quite a Husband by Sherry Thomas. Great book, IMO.
I am super looking forward to buying Cold Hearted Rake by Lisa Kleypas and Winter by Marissa Meyer when they come out!
Magic Shifts by Ilona Andrews
I’ve been dying to read the Maiden Lane series, but haven’t quite wanted to shell out the $ for so many books.
Books! They are the best! Currently top of my purchasing wishlist (because they are giant and demand to be perused rather than read quickly before being returned to the library) are Stephen Sondheim’s two volumes of annotated lyrics and thoughts. Also hard copies of Tessa Dare’s Spindle Cove series. 🙂
