Thanks for the awesome giveaway!
Cold Iron by Stina Lecht
I’m looking forward to “Rock Redemption” by Nalini Singh!
So many books to read, so little time!
I’d love to pick up Queen of Shadows by Sarah J. Maas and the latest Kate Daniels book! Love both of those series.
Tops on my list is Courtney Milan’s Once Upon a Marquess, which isn’t available yet. Next is Ilona Andrews’s Oct. book, White Hot. Thanks for the giveaway.
“Step Aside, Pops!” by Kate Beaton! I NEED THAT BOOK NOW.
I’m currently obsessed with two series. The first is In Death series by JD Robb, and I know I have a long way to go but my next one is Portrait in Death, book 16. The next series I can’t put down is The Burg series by Kristen Ashley. I need get book 4, Game of the Heart.
I found SMTB after hearing Sarah on NPR and have become a fan ever since! She recommend Gentleman in the Streets, I read it, and from that point on I was hooked!!
Devoted In Death by J.D. Robb!
It’s not a trashy book, but I really want to read The Hollow Boy by Jonathan Stroud.
i’m with meredith – want to try out LUMBERJANES for me and the kiddos
The Poldark series. I am a junkie for it now. I have the first three books on Kindle Unlimited, but then…….
I…I…I don’t know. I’d have to check my wish lists and see what strikes my fancy that day. I might use it to fill in some holes in my ebook collection. For example I don’t yet have all the In Death books. Also missing some Garwood. Get some more of Nora’s trilogies.
Really it would depend on the day and my mood. Lol I’m a fickle bitch.
First of all thank you for this giveaway.
As for books that I would like to buy but still haven’t… there’s some titles that I read as e-galleys and that I would love to have on paper. Or hardback, because there’s no other option. That is the case of the book Valiant by Sarah Mcguire.
Very excited that two new books from a couple of favorite authors are coming out almost simultaneously next month, the next Steampunk Mistborn book from Brandon Sanderson, and a new Series from Rick Riordan involving Norse mythology. And in the meanwhile I have some gaps in my Julia Quinn collection… (Just what I need, more books… I’m packing to move, so far I have packed about 20 boxes and ALL OF THEM are books!)
I have a HUGE Amazon wishlist and I debating: would I buy The Most Expensive Thing on it, or would I go for quantity?
Or would I use it for some household essentials such as TP and Dr. Bronner’s soap?
Decisions, decisions, decisions… … …
I’m in mystery reading mode and waiting for Dishing the Dirt: An Agatha Raisin Mystery.
I wonder how fast I could spend $100 in the iBooks store.
OH, so many. With a baby on the way, we’ve been saving up for baby-related expenses, which has meant cutting down on my book buying, so my to-buy list is forever expanding!
The Girl in the Spider’s Web: A Lisbeth Salander Novel, continuing Stieg Larsson’s Millennium Series by David Lagercrantz!!! Thank you! Love you!
I can’t wait to get my grabby hands on Eva Leigh’s Forever Your Earl!
I’d buy The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron first. After that, I’d buy any of Susanna Kearsley’s catalogue that I don’t already own.
There are a couple of Jaci Burton and Lorelei James books that I haven’t gotten to yet that I would like catch up on.
Mindy Kaling’s new book is at the top of my list.
I’d started in the middle of the dressmakers and want to go to the beginning with Silk os For Seduction by Loretta Chase
Dressed: A Century of Hollywood Costume Design. I’m fascinated by costume design (and old movies).
I’d buy Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel. The sequel, oddly, is available on Scribd.
I would definitely buy my own copy of America’s Test Kitchen New Family Cookbook, because my back is sore from lugging the library’s copy back and forth, haha. Also Elle Kennedy’s Claimed when it releases next month!
Ms Marvel, Lumberjanes,and a couple other comics for my neice are up next on my to buy list.
I’m waiting for Kate Quinn’s and Kylie Scott’s next book.
I think I would get “My Biggest Mistake” by Leddy Harper. This would be my first book by this author but I have heard amazing things about it. It seems to be one that would tied me up in knots and leave my heart aching. Yes, I like my books to hurt me…so good.
Seanan McGuire’s newest October Daye book, A Red-Rose Chain. I’ll have access to a really good bookstore in October so I’m waiting until then.
I would have to say Dragonbane is on my TOP list of To buy! I really need that pretty hardcover book!
Love your blog! I would buy Magic Shifts by Ilona Andrews.
I think there’s a new Mercy Thomson novel coming out soon and the Bujold book! thanks for that info Pam G she’s an auto buy for me!
There are so many books on my to-read list, over 2,000 titles. Where would I start? No telling. Alphabetically? Random number generator? What’s on sale that day? Could be all or none of the above. However, the one that pops into my head as not published yet so could be a contender is Jim Butcher’s The Aeronaut’s Windlass. But then there are all of the Courtney Milan books that my library doesn’t carry…some books I’ve read a zillion times but don’t have a personal copy of…yep, could take forever to spend that gift card! But what fun!
I always have a lengthy TBR list but I can’t remember a specific book right now.
I just found out that there’s another In Death book coming out tomorrow! So that is right at the top of my buy list and my tbr list!
eh, hello – THANKS to SBTB for being amazing and awesome!
…but I will say there are some fun reads coming out this fall I’m looking forward to, including Helenkay Dimon’s new bad boys undercover book.
I am dying for the last Terry Pratchett to come out.
(And by come out, go on sale and onto my shelves)
