Kate | 3524 comments I don't know about anyone else but I love it when people post about the new books they've bought. It 's a great way to look up new authors and books and if you've bought something it's nice to share your new purchase.

Best New Zombie Tales$0.99
The Mountain King$0.99
Little Deaths$0.99
Dirty Martini$0.99

Okay. This weekend I bought:

Lilith $4.99
The Bleeding Season $4.99
Thirty Miles South Of Dry County $2.99

Not too bad. I usually spend more. :)
Btw, I loved Among Prey. It reminded me of my favorite horror growing up.

Nice! I have Thirty Miles South and can't wait to read it. That one counts towards the Stoker challenge, if you are entered in that, Traci.

I think you will really enjoy The Bleeding Season.

Have you read Coraline? Was interested in getting it.


message 9: by [deleted user] (new)

Coraline was cute. Better than the movie which I wasn't a fan of.

I used to bulk buy lots of Laymon books then it takes you ages to pick which one to read. Such a treat. I've never enjoyed it as much as when it was Laymon books.

I'm pretty excited! I wish I could figure out how to loan them out. When I get them, I have to read them through the Overdrive App. Which is fine, and it works great, but I can't loan them through there. :(

Ms. Nikki (miznikki) | 13944 comments All those cover look good, Charlene. Yay, you! Jago looks interesting. I have the rest of those. I need to boost up The Croning and Concrete Grove on my TBR.


message 50: by Kate (new)

Kate | 3524 comments Nice haul, Charlene. I'd' love to hear what you think about The Croning by Laird Barron , Laird Barron is an author I'd like to read soon.

Kyle, what genre is Nora Roberts? Is she more mystery/thriller?
