I really want to read Vivian Apple Needs A Miracle. I enjoyed the first one, but haven’t read the new one yet.
Anything and everything by Courtney Milan! That I don’t already have that is (I only have the Brothers Sinister series.)
Ooh. All the Patricia Briggs on Kindle. Books on the mitochondrial Eve, or Nazi gold trains, and anything that gets published about the Rising Star hominin site in Africa, because did you read about those 6 skinny female scientists who went down into that cave and excavated 2 million year old bones?!!!!
A copy of The Brothers Cabal by Jonathan L Howard!
I’d get some Cozy Mysteries, especially culinary-related mysteries — like the Key West Food Critic Mystery Series and Fresh-Baked Mystery Series. I would probably throw in some cookbooks as well, since I can’t resist more cookbooks!
I am eagerly awaiting Heather Graham’s The Hidden. It is the last of her Krewe of Hunters series for this year. I have loved each new Krewe book she writes. I got so into her romantic suspense stories with woo-woo elements that I have purchased all her back stories of the Harrison group and all the books between Haunted and Phantom Evil. I am next waiting anxiously for Secret Sisters by Jayne Ann Krentz to come out in December.
Julie Anne Long’s The Legend of Lyon Redmond is at the top of my list. I love her PennyRoyal Green series and am anxiously waiting for this book. Thanks for the chance to be a winner in this awesome giveaway!
Bollywood Bride by Sonali Dev (and thanks for the great podcast with her!). I’ve already re-read Bollywood Affair several times so I have very high hopes for the next one.
I don’t buy all that much, being a cheapskate who gets most of her hooks from the library. But I’ll buy the next mercy Thompson when it comes out.
I have All I Want by Jill Shalvis on my list (because there is always, ALWAYS a Shalvis on my list), Blush by Cherry Adair (because who doesn’t love a novel about knocking off your bucket list?), Earthly Delights by Kerry Greenwood, Women I’ve Undress by Orry-Kelly … So! Many! Books!
I need a new copy of Gabaldon’s Voyager because a friend “borrowed” mine and I never got it back before moving to Australia. I like to give new writers a try, too. I often buy first books by self-publishers on Amazon. Those writers need a boost.
The Rosie Project 🙂
Morning, Smart Bitches!
Top of my list to buy, right now, would be Jude Deveraux’s Twin of Fire and Twin of Ice. Read those ages ago but would like a copy of my own.
Thanks!
I’m not sure, I’m eyeing a few The Making of ___ books at the moment and for fiction I’d choose the Captive Prince trilogy by CS Pacat.
I’ve been on a Jennifer Crusie kick lately, trying to catch up on all her books. And then I’d throw some Julie James in there too.
Either Christina Lauren’s Dark Wild Night or Alexis Hall’s For Real.
There are several books on my list…but I can not WAIT for the new Lexi Blake book!!!
Next on my list: The Thames River Murders by Ahsley Gardner.
I just pre-ordered Super Yo by Emily V. Gordon!
Currently wanting Fates and Furies!
This blog is part of what inspired me to start my own 🙂
It’s a tossup between the last Terry Pratchett and the Welcome to Nightvale novel. But I’m also looking to shore up my sci-fi/fantasy by non-white American dudes section as well invest more in really awesome romances which I’ll want to read/re-read over and over again.
Anything on my 7.99 list!! I’m such a CHEAP bitch.
“Anything on my 7.99 list!! I’m such a CHEAP bitch.”
LOL When I see anything priced more than $2.99 I have sticker shock.
The book I’m most likely to buy *next* is probably whichever old favorite goes on sale for 99 cents, but the one I’m most eagerly awaiting is Lois McMaster Bujold’s _Gentleman Jole and the Red Queen_. It’s going to be a long wait for February!
– Tasha
Anything from Virginia Kantra first, followed by all things Nalini Singh! Thank you!
S.
The newest books Jo Goodman book, Jayne Ann Krantz/Amanda Quick/Jayne Castle, Susan Elizabeth Phillips, and Mary Jo Putney for my collection. Plus try some of your recommendations by authors Ive not read yet.
The Bronte Plot by Katherine Reay!
The sad part is this wouldn’t even pay for a fraction of the books I want on Amazon but it would put a little dent in it!! 🙂 I would start with the next book by J.H. Croix which comes out next week!!
On top of my to-buy list ? The complete boxed set of the Brothers Sinister series (ebook) by Courtney Milan <3
I’m in a terrible reading slump at the moment so I am thinking the latest offering from Mary Balogh .
I need to catch up on the last couple books of Mary Robinette Kowal’s glamourist histories!
I’ve found so many good books because of your reviews (Mr. Impossible forever changed my life). Plus, the final Finishing School book by Gail Carriger is available for preorder…
Bedtime for the next 6 weeks will find me snuggling up with the latest from Sara Humphreys, Terri Brisbin, Tracy Solheim, and HelenKay Dimon, since I’ll be hanging out with them IRL on Oct. 31! Can’t wait!
Lois Mcmaster Bujold’s new book, when it comes out.
The latest Jane Castle book. Love the Harmony books!
AHHH, I have so many books I want to buy but right on the top of my list is Only Beloved, the final book in the Survivors Club series by Mary Balogh. That,and White Hot by Ilona Andrews next year.
You really expect me to choose which book I would buy first? Haha there are sooo many!
I have too many books on my ‘to buy’ list to, well, list here! Top at the moment is Catherine Asaro’s Lightning Strike, I think.
The Royal We by Heather Cocks/Jessica Morgan and Why Not Me by Mindy Kaling.
Thank you!
Perhaps the new Mercy Thompson story in hardback.
