You'll love this one...!! A book club & more discussion

This thread could also be called, "My Credit Card Was Feeling Lonely". What treasures have you scored?

I grabbed the Audible daily deal yesterday, Midnight.

I debated on that one Kristie. I hope you enjoy it. :)

I debated too, Janice. I don’t think the $4.95 deals are much of a deal and I wasn’t 100% on wanting the book, but I’ve liked his books in the past.

I've bought:
The Travelling Cat Chronicles. I was supposed to buy another book, but then I saw this one. I have a thing for Japanese writers and a soft spot for cats, so I think this will be a match. Besides that, it has a beautiful cover and the story is really good. (reading it from the cover)

The Fourth Apprentice. I have the other 3 series and this is the first book of the 4the serie. I've read that Erin Hunter is writing the 6th series, but I'm buying them in the Dutch translation, so it will take a while to complete them. The translation of the next 3 books of the 4th series will be this year.

As if my credit card is ever lonely. :)

Some nice ebook deals today! I got:

Salt Houses
The Leavers
The House at the Edge of Night

I really want to read The Leavers too. I just went to check and it's on sale here too! Got it! :)

I bought Oil and Marble: A Novel of Leonardo and Michelangelo, a leftover from the 2017 Yearlong.

I just picked up Practical Magic on sale on Kindle. I read The Rules of Magic recently and really enjoyed it.

Thanks for mentioning that Kristie. It's been on my wishlist for a while.

I picked up The Radium Girls: The Dark Story of America's Shining Women on Kindle.

I got A Memory of Violets: A Novel of London's Flower Sellers Kindle deal todad

I bought:

City of Circles

The Sparsholt Affair (Foyles exclusive signed edition)

Wideacre

The Templars: The Rise and Fall of God's Holy Warriors (signed copy)

I was meeting with someone today in the city centre, but she was 30 minutes late. So I went to the nearby bookshop, and came out with The Good People.

I have many books on my wishlist that are only available in hardcover when I add them, and then often I sort of forget about them. It's always a nice surprise when I go into a bookshop, recognize a title and it's a paperback!

That one looks good, Peggy. I look forward to seeing what you think of it. I still have Burial Rites from her to read.

I just picked up The Almost Sisters on a Kindle deal.

I feel the need to wander a bookstore coming on. That's going to have to happen soon.

Lol Mikaleigh, I think I once bought a book 3 times! Twice as an ebook and once as a paperback at a book fair. I ended up reading the paperback ;-)

@Kristie: the main reason I bought it is because I loved Burial Rites. If this new one was her first book I'm not sure I would have bought it. The blurb doesn't wow me.

I've double bought books several times, Mikaleigh. I usually end up donating one to the library. I really need to keep better track of what I already own.

I hope you end up loving it as much as Burial Rites!

Yeap, been there, done that

I've bought The Labyrinth of the Spirits. The 4th and last part in the series.

Woohoo - live book club for next month is La Belle Sauvage

I've been looking for an excuse to buy that one ;-)

Is that a type of cabbage?

haha yes - a very beautiful cabbage that you're not allowed to eat lol

Oh, are you thinking of Savoy?

Margo wrote: "Oh, are you thinking of Savoy?"

not sure, I just thought ' that's a cabbage' lol

It's pretty blue too, (the cover).

I bought a couple of books by Australian authors for a challenge I am doing in the Aussie Readers group. They are both first-in-series. in the Science Fiction genre. Hero and Seeing Red. I also bought the last three books in the Akasha series for my Zodiac Challenge. Air, Fire, Earth. I already owned the first one, Water. They have very pretty covers.

That series sounds like it was designed for our challenge Cherie ;-)

I'm looking forward on your thoughts about the book. It's on my TBR - list too.

Interesting, Cherie. Never heard of those books or authors before. Let us know what you think!

I bought
Miguel Street
The Thing Around Your Neck and
Soul Music

I have one more book coming, and then I am not allowed to buy anything for at least 6 months.

6 months! Good luck, Rusalka. I don’t know if I could do it.

I can barely make 1 month, let alone 6.

I have a copy of Bleak House on the way. A friend recommended it to me, but I have to admit that I'm a bit intimidated by a classic book weighing in at over 1,000 pages.

I could do 6 months - of course that wouldn't include pre-orders, bargins, deals, book club books, group reads, challenge books, etc etc

lol, Margo!

LOL! Sounds like my kind of book buying abstinence.

Hahaha Margo!

I got At the Water's Edge. It was in a daily deal email and I knew it was on my wishlist. After buying I read some reviews and now I wonder if it was a wise buy ;-)

I will let you know. ;0)

I picked up I Found You on audible uk. £1.99 it is the daily deal.

Lol I love you guys!!!
I may crack and sell some to my book dealer for credit. But I had a bit of a splurge the past month.

So happy with the audible uk daily deal today - All These Worlds. That's a series I need to get back to!

I bought The Chalk Man for my 2018 new release challenge.

I had $8.00 left on my coupon with Audible. Since I got the coupon, the daily deals have not been all that exciting. Time is running out, so I decided to pick up the wispersync deals on 4 Kindle books I'd purchased last summer:
In the Blood
To the Grave
The Last Queen of England
The Lost Empress

These four aren't exactly new purchases since I already owned the Kindle editions.

Oh, that looks good, Janice. I just read Berit's review. I wonder if I can get on the list at my library yet. I love the black cover!

I have a copy of The Chalk Man too, but the red cover: .
