Congrats to the winners, and thank you to everyone who entered. We love that you are a part of our community. You’re awesome!
That is so hard to decide on just one one. There are so many I want to read. One is Anne Bishop’s Vision in Silver. Thanks!
I would get the latest from J.R. Ward, The Kings, or anything by Mary Balogh. Also, please include enough time to read them straight through.
Love your email/blog!!
My to-buy list is pretty long, but I’m so excited for Lauren Groff’s Fates and Furies, so that probably tops it at the moment! Or maybe Kate Atkinson’s A God in Ruins, since I was so enamored with Life After Life, but I’m holding out for the paperback copy of that since it’s pretty big.
I would buy Bollywood Bride by Sonali Dev the day it comes out instead of waiting for the price to drop. Thanks for the giveaway!
I just discovered this blog having devoured Maya Rodale’s Dangerous Books for Girls and now have a to read list as long as my arm (YAY!), but I’m leaning toward starting with Poldark.
I would go on a total binge shopping spree and buy some new cookbooks from Pioneer Woman plus some romance ebooks arms maybe even a coloring book if I’m feeling really gluttonous! Thanks for the giveaway! I <3 smart bitches!
There are over 1000 books on my to-read list on Goodreads so I’ve got a LOT of possibilities!
So many books to buy, but first up would be the new Jenny Lawson, followed by the most recent Christina Lauren, which I haven’t got a hold of yet.
I have the final Pink Carnation (Lauren Willig)novel sitting on my coffee table. But I don’t want it to end, so I am pretending it isn’t there 🙁
Love my library, rarely buy books, but this one is eeaassyy – I would preorder Marked in Flesh, the next book in Anne Bishop’s Others series.
And in SEVEN MONTHS . . . I’d be loving life.
My heart goes awwww with you… On the top of my to buy list are the last and next Meredith Duran books.
Thanks for the giveaway!
Death Wears a Mask by Ashley Weaver, the next Amory Ames 1930s British-set mystery series. I just adored the Murder at the Brightwell last year — very old school Christie-Sayers British mystery combined with a not-so-perfect marriage.
I have some young adult books on my to-be-read list but if we’re talking romance, I really want one of Sarah MacLean’s books. Or perhaps the next book in Janet Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum series (I’m currently at no. 12 and it’s still awesome).
Thanks for hosting this giveaway, your site is great (and I love your newsletters).
I am insanely excited for Six of Crows (“Game of Thrones meets Ocean’s Eleven” = best marketing ever) and for the sequel to Ilona Andrews’s Burn for Me and for Courtney Milan’s Hold Me, but female bonding wins and I’d have to say the first book in Milan’s Worth Saga is at the top of my list, since my best friend and I loooooove to discuss her historicals together.
Devoted in Death, J. D. Robb (maybe. Normally an autobuy but I’m afraid this will be like the Thanksgiving one that spent too much time for my taste in the POV of the villain)
Cast in Honor, Michelle Sagara
Gentleman Jole and the Red Queen, Bujold
I’ve been hearing a lot about Meredith Wild’s Hacker series, so that’s on my list.
It’s hard to choose only one… But I’d go with Nalini Singh’s Shards of Hope
The latest Survivor Club book, I love those books so much. Also Trade Me by Courtney Milan and I’d love to get the rest of the Magpie Lord books. Oh and the first book of Rick Riordan’s new series.
Yay! Another great giveaway! The first book would be the new Christina Lauren book that I think is coming out tomorrow. The next one would be Andy Weir’s The Martian. I have a long list.
The next Nora Roberts, J.D. Robb, JAK, Linda Howard, Jo Beverley, Mary Balogh, Grace Burrowes, Stephanie Lauren’s, Anne Gracie….whichever comes up first!
I would be at the book store getting Tami Hoag’s latest “Cold, Cold Heart” but it has not hit the stores yet. Soon!
You guys are so awesome! And I am going through a teen kick and have several Eulberg and Bracken books that I have been wanting, but can’t justify the splurge when I work at a library… maybe I will get lucky 😉
Lisa Kleypas’s new historical– Cold-Hearted Rake! I’ve been geeking out since I saw it was coming. I’ve also been waiting an eternity for The Legend of Lyon Redmond by Julie Anne Long. I need to know what happens to Olivia and Lyon!!!!!!!!
Either the new(ish) Abigail Reynolds or The Lumberjanes — the whole thing.
Rainbow Rowell’s upcoming book, Carry On.
I want the new J.D. Robb book that comes out tomorrow but I’m thinking $13.99 is a bit ridiculous. However I will probably buy it anyway.
Sherrilyn Kenyon, Darynda Jones and Molly Harper are always auto-buys no matter what.
What book isn’t on my TBR? I’ll be reading until I die…and I’m still in my 20’s…
Since I was recently laid off I’ve been being a good girl and reading books I have on my shelf or on my kindle. But if I was lucky enough to win this generous giveaway I’d probably finally splurge on Burned by KMM. I’ve been holding out since its so stinking pricey. I also really want to read Huntley Fitzpatrick’s latest The Boy Most Likely To among sooooo many others.
Thanks so much!
Great site! Thank you for introducing me to so many great new-to-me authors!
There are a few needlework books I’d like to own.
I have so many books on my to-read/to-buy list. My first purchase would be Wicked Lies by Lora Leigh or Archangel’s Enigma by Nalini Singh.
I’d definitely grab Tessa Dare’s latest!
All I Want by Jill Shalvis
Any new G.A. Aiken, Tessa Dare, Ilona Andrews, Juliq Quinn, Patricia Briggs, … oh the list goes on and on. Thanks!
I think I would purchase the remaining Laurenston books that I’ve read but borrowed. Would love to have them all for easy access on my kindle.
right now I am excited for Why Not Me by Mindy Kaling ( loved her first one- laugh out loud read) & the new Lisbeth Sander, The Girl in the Spiders Web by Lagercranz(?) though doubt it will be as good as the Millennium Trilogy
Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier and Ask the Past: Pertinent and Impertinent Advice from Yesteryear by Elizabeth P. Archibald!
Thank you for all you do to add to my TBR pile…I think. I have a wish list a mile long but I’d probably start with the new Lisa Kleypas and Sarah Maclean’s new series, The Rogue Not Taken: Scandal & Scoundrel, Book I.
I always have a to buy list.. At the top currently is devoted in death by JD Robb.. That is just my absolute favorite series. I can’t wait to pick back up with eve and rourke.
Bitter Spirits by Jenn Bennett, because I read a review on here earlier this summer and moved it to the top of my TBR pile!
