Oo! I’ve really been wanting to try ARCHIVIST WASP by Nicole Kornher-Stace. And to Marian Perera: Yes! Buy COURTING MISS HATTIE! I wore out two paperback copies of that book because I loved the idea of the not-conventionally-beautiful heroine so much 😀
I have a substantial wishlist (thank you Smart Bitches for that) – Meredith Duran’s new book, also new from Ilona Andrews, and so many new to me authors (Lauren Dane, Jeannie Lin for starters) that I am eager to check out. Thanks for the recommendations! Thanks for the giveaway!
Right now at the top of my to-buy list is Everything, Everything by Nicola Yoon — because it’s a book about a girl who’s basically allergic to everything… and that’s so totally me. I was diagnosed about 2 years ago with allergies to about 140 different things (all very common), 6 of which require me to carry epi-pens with me everywhere I go so I don’t go into anaphylactic shock every time I leave my house. I think it’d be really fascinating to read a book about someone who’s in a very similar position to me.
Thank you for being here!
I just bought and devoured my most recent must-have (The Lure of the Moonflower, Lauren Willig), and I don’t yet know what’s replaced it at the top of the to-buy list. When a Scot Ties the Knot, possibly.
Now I’ve just seen that Lisa Kleypas’ new historical comes out the day before my birthday. That is on the list. That will be birthday reading.
I would buy the new Laura Kaye Hard Ink novel coming out, and follow it up by buying the entire series in paper. Love that series!
Thank you for the great giveaways!
My wishlist is growing longer as I take note of all the books everyone else would buy. Gack!
Right now I’m looking forward to White Hot from Ilona Andrews, Cast in Honor by Michelle Sagara and At Blades Edge, by Lauren Dane. I have others that are on my automatic omg-why-isn’t-it-here-yet? buy list, but those are the closest to release dates.
Ilona Andrews Magic Shifts. I’ve been dying to read it but can’t afford to buy it. Normally I reserve these things at the library but the library only bought one copy!
For me it’s when A Scot Ties the Knot. I wasn’t sure about it at first but the reviews have me sold. But my bookstore ran out so I’m waiting for more as I read it in paper.
Though I’m always waiting impatiently for the next Ilona Andrews book.
What a generous giveaway. Thank you for all the great information. I check your website every day to see what’s going on.
Up next: My True Love Gave to Me: Twelve Holiday Stories
by Stephanie Perkins
I really want to buy the latest Ilona Andrews and I’m very behind on Patricia Briggs Mercy Thompson series!
The Bollywood Bride
Home and Away by Samantha Wayland! It was recommended in a FB group I’m in and looks pretty good (and substantial at 400+ pages!).
wow what a great thing to do 🙂 so many possibilities as there are a number of upcoming releases would love to read by lyndsay sands, Bianca d’arc, lisa kleypas, Elizabeth hoyt, eve langlais (and that’s just off the top of my head) 🙂
I don’t have anything I’m burning to read except the last (I hope) entry in Sylvia Day’s _Bared to You_ series.
I think the first up would be Lumberjanes, because I showed the review to my 12-year-old daughter and she said “I want. To read this. Now.” 🙂
(And then, for me, maybe Sweet Filthy Boy. I haven’t tried a Laurens yet!)
Yes, please! My wishlist on BookDepository is in need of a prunning… 🙂
Seveneves by Neal Stephenson… I have read it from the library but when it comes to Neal I like to have my very own! 😉
I’m looking forward to purchasing books by Kristen Ashley, Jennifer Ashley, and Courtney Milan. Ooh, and Lisa Kleypas, and ….
Right now I’m waiting for The Legend of Lyon Redmond by Julie Anne Long. I’ve only read 2 books in the series and really loved 1 of it, but ever since the start I’ve been curious about Lyon and Olivia.
I have a bunch of books in my TBR pile. I always seem to end up getting the latest “IN Death” book by Nora Roberts. I swear I won’t do it until the price is reduced, but then I need that “comfort” read & give in. Thank goodness for the ability to download books at 3am!!
Keep up the awesome job.
Ooh! I would love to buy the last three books in the Maiden Lane series by Elizabeth Hoyt! It’s one of my favorites and I haven’t kept up with it recently! Thank you for the giveaway!!
So many books, but I am definitely looking forward to the new Nalini Singh ‘Rock’ book, but I’ve a bunch of upcoming books on the radar including Lisa Kleypas’s new historical, Thea Harrison’s ‘Elder’, and Lisa Shearin’s ‘SPI’ books.
Oh, there’s so many books I’d want to buy: Valor on the Move by Keira Andrews is probably at the top, Him by Sarina Bowen and Elle Kennedy, anything by Codi Gary (because it always puts me in such a good mood), An Outlaw in Wonderland (it’s been on my wishlist forever, but with my country’s 25% VAT I consider it a bit too pricey), and maybe something less romance-y like The First Days and … well, the list goes on, and on, and on.
Thanks for a great blog!
I am dying to read the new Throne of Glass book, “Queen of Shadows”!!!
Sorcerer to the Crown! and then Epitaph: A Novel of the O.K. Corral, and then Jacksonland, and then…….
I have a whole Amazon shopping list of titles! I’m newish to the genre and want to give some Sonali Dev and Aliha Rai titles a whirl.
To many to pick from! How about Beauty and the Beast by Sean Michael, or Valor on the MOve by Kiera Andrews…
I really want to read The Bollywood Bride by Sonali Dev, as I’ve been reading such awesome reviews 🙂 thanks for the fabulous and very generous giveaway!!!
I’m waiting for the new Patricia Briggs, “Fire Touched” and the new Anne Bishop, “Marked in Flesh”. I sense a theme here.
Not sure about auto-buy book, but I am on a bit of a dragon click bait phase. Thanks for the giveaway!
I can’t wait to buy Twisted Honor, book 2 in Deep Six Security by Becky McGraw.
I buy all my favorite books in paperback and on top of the list I have the Dirty Angels Trilogy by Karina Halle!!
Definitely Kate Meader’s upcoming book Playing with Fire – female firefighter paired with Mayor of Chicago!
Looking forward to Jill Shalvis’ next Animal Magnetism book.
Waiting for Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo to be released!
so many books so little time! I anxiously await almost anything by Nalini Singh, whether it is her Guild Hunter or Psy/Changeling series.
I also anxiously await books by JD Robb, Anne Bishops’ OTHER series, JC Daniels’ Kit Colbana series, and Lori Leigh’s Breed books. But probably the book I am most anxious to read is Ilona Andrews WHITE HOT. Cannot wait till it comes out!
Oh easy. I’d buy all the Sherry Thomas novels I don’t have. And Kushiel’s Dart.
Ok. I know that’s an weird combo, but there you go. 😀
Thanks for the offer!
I love SBTB and thank YOU GUYS for making it so great. I’ve came here on Day 40 (or so) for the mantitty and stayed for the snark. I would buy the new Kristan Higgins book, and/or buy ebook copies of all my favorite paperbacks so that I could have them with me ALL THE TIME.
