Pirate Romance discussion

Even if it's not a pirate book, let us know what caught your eye!

I bought & finished Julietby Anne Fortier it was really good I have posted my review..its a past/present story with lots of mystery/romance/suspence..the main charcater julie being the desendent of "juliet" if you like authors Barbara Erskine or Kate Mosse..youll love this book!

Oh, I was wondering about that one! It's been on my TBR list. I'm glad you loved it! Border's is having an educator's discount really soon, and I plan to really stock up for the winter!

Well...if you cant find it & really want to read..you can have mine for free..Id rather it go to a good home..then sit & collect dust here..let me know :)

Really?? I've really wanted it, I just can't afford it right now! Are you really ok with sending it to me?

Not a problem..I hope you enjoy it as much as I did..III invite you as "friend" so you can give me your address in my mailbox.

Thanks, Sandi!

Here are some books that i've bought

Joeera, if you have not read yet, I'd recommend putting that one at the top of your TBR list... it makes my list for top 10 paranormal romances... it's very good, with some humor mixed in too.

Sometimes I scavenge the local goodwill/thrift stores for book deals, and during lunch today I found The Devil Who Tamed Her and bought it... but then I realized I already own it.. I hate when that happens... I just have too many books to keep track of!

I also recently bought because the reviews on amazon for it are amazing.. 43 5 star ratings out of 44 total.

The proud breed is SO good!! also her triolgy Wild Swan Swan's Chance A Season of Swans

Oh yes, I own the triolgy too.. it's on my never ending TBR list.

I'll be excited to hear your opinion on 13 to Life and Firelight! I've had my eye on both of them!

I just bought
ias for 2$

Jana i will start Firelight within the next 2 weeks i will let you now what i thing of it

Wonderful! I'll keep an eye out for your review!

Woohoo!! I just found a USB near me yesterday with decent prices of about $2-3 per book and a huge inventory!! I ended up buying a ton of books... here are the two pirate/ship captain ones I bought:
Ransom of the Heart
Desire's Storm

*Neither of these have covers posted on goodreads, so I will probably scan & upload the cover... I hate it when no cover is posted. :-)

Some authors I ended up buying: Janelle Taylor, Day Taylor, Claudia Dain,Shannon Drake (aka Heather Graham), and Meagan McKinney.

I bought way too many books to post them all up here... cause it would be embarrassing LOL ;-)

I wish there was an awesome used book store here! I don't mind buying used books at all, as long as they are in good condition. I'll have to research. There's gotta be one somewhere!

I had been looking for a UBS for months!! There is one just a few miles from my house, but it charges 1/2 the cover price, no matter what the condition of the book is.. so most mass market paperbacks are $4 there, and it did not carry older books. Then I got smart yesterday... I typed in "book" in my GPS and then this USB popped up in the middle of the ghetto.. but it is totally awesome!

I have UBS like that near me too..charges 1/2 the cover price & DO NOT take older books..Joeera is getting me some good UBS that she knows when she comes down around me..sounds like you got quite a haul SmittenKitten...do show all!!!:)

What Day Taylor title did you get?

Moss Rose - I already owned it, but the USB had a much better copy with no spine creases.

I also have The Black Swan and Bitter Eden - both bought online.

I just bought
The Devil Who Tamed Her
Secrets of a Summer Night
Indigo Moon

Well..a lady at work was going to "throw" out some oldies she had..& remembered Im always searching for them..so I saved from the trash
Pirate's Wild Paradise
The Yankee and the Belle
The Rogue and the Lily
Perchance to Dream

UMMM..which to read first..

I would give up my first born before I threw away a book :-P

Firelight Read (Oct 6-8)


Jacinda lives in a world where the desendants of the dragons have evolved the ability to transform into human shape as a protection from the very humans that would hunt them down and kill them.She is also the first firer breather in her pride for more than 4 hundred years.That is not the only thing she has to worry about.Not only is the pride very pround of her, but very intrested in making sure she has lots of little draki to carry on the traditions.She feels trapped.The limitations of the pride,the fear of the hunters and she certainly isn't ready to settle down and have kids she fights,but when she is almost caught by the hunters,his just makes the pride put more pressure on her.When her mom flees with her and her sister to try and save her,Jacinda only feels more trapped.Trying to adjust to a normal high school with normal people.Will the one guy who could make it all worthwile for her might be the most dangerous of all.

Firelight was absolutely stunning i was breathless from the begining.Firelight ws such a vivid book-the colors and characters seem to pop right off the page and take you for a ride right along with them Jacinda and will were my favorite.Can't waite for the next book

I almost bought it today at Borders, Joeera! It sounds amazing! I refrained, though, because I can get it cheaper on Amazon. I'm glad you loved it!

Jana have you tried thebookdepository.com ? you only have to buy one book and NO shipping! sometimes amazon is a little cheaper..but if I want only one book I order from there & their service is great!

Hopefuly i can get to 13 to life before the end of the month i will let you know what i thik of the book Jana

Sandi, I'll have to check them out! I'm an Amazon Prime member, so I get free guaranteed 2-day shipping with no minimum purchase.

Joeera, awesome! I almost bought that one today too. :P

Wow wish they had that in Canada Jana..but here you have to spend over $39.00 to get free shipping..and if I only want one book shipping costs 6-9 dollars. so I can get the book at bookdepository for cheaper most times & free shipping!

Jana let me know what you thing of Firelight when you read it

Wow, $39? Regular Amazon shoppers here in the USA only have to spend $25 for free shipping. I got Amazon Prime because I got a free membership for being a student. It expires in a few months, and then I'll have to spend $25 again. I've bookmarked bookdepository, though! They had some better deals than Amazon. Thanks for the recommendation!

Joeera, I'll let you know! First, I need to buy it... lol.

I just bought these the other day

AHH!! Amazon.ca just brought the shipping fee down to $25.00!! umm..maybe they know there is places like book depository that ships for free no matter how many books...bout time!

Lovely!

I just bought a ton of books... lol. Borders had their teacher appreciation sale, and I just bought a ton!

Let it Snow, by John Green, Maureen Johnson, and Lauren Myracle.

Rebecca by Daphne du Marnier

Beauty by Robin McKinley

O, Juliet by Robin Maxwell

Santa in Montana by Janet Dailey

Lakeshore Christmas by Susan Wiggs

Home in Time for Christmas by Heather Graham

I'll be Home for Christmas by Fern Michaels


Yay! I love buying Christmas romances! I read them from the moment the Thanksgiving turkey is put away until Christmas Eve!

Nice haul there Jana! I see a few favorites of mine...enjoy!

Oh really?? Which ones are your favorites? :)

I loved Rebbecca by Daphne du Maurier,Beauty by Robin mcKinley ( like all her books)O Juliet was good but not as good as the one I sent you.

I'm really excited to read the first two you mentioned. O, Juliet was in a clearance bin at the store, so I thought it'd be a fun read. We'll have to discuss our opinions once I'm done. :)

I'm reading the one you sent me right now, and I'm loving it so far! Thanks!

I knew you would..what do you think of Julie? I love her sense of humor..& how she copes with things. dont care for her sister..and she gets worse..

Just picked up the *oldie* "what happens when a pirate falls in love wth his captive?" sounds interesting enough for me!

Julie is great! Her sister gets worse?? Oh, dear!

Sandi, that other one looks good too! I love this group, because I keep learning of all these new pirate books!

I love the "older" ones they are hard to find.

13 To life read (Oct 20-21)


I realy liked this book.I realy loved Pietr!.From the first time we meet pietr we know that this guy is weird.You know from the 3rd page what pietr was.Jess is very bright she has a hugh crush on this jock named derek.That's why she resists pietr in the beginning. Pietr hates derek because jess liked him instead of himself.I think their might be more to it.Everyone kept telling jess that derek was evil.Pietr's family was quite a shock. His older brother max is funny and is older twin sister ( by 2 minutes ) is really nice. Alexi (sasha) is the guaradian of the family. He is also the oldest.His parents died a year before pietr is the youngest.

I would recommend this book to anyone that likes a super sweet romance with a dark mystery

I recently bought to add to my pirate collection. :)

Sandi i will going to tronto on friday would you like to get together i could take you to those book stores i told you about

Ahhh..POO! I would love to Joeera..but as a manager in a food store & Halloween weekend ..I have to work fri /sat/ sun/...but thank-you:) maybe next time your down?..a week or so ago I could have.. starting Oct 25- jan 1 I have to work 6 days..then I get my weekends back..its our busiest time of year.

I will be staying till the week of nov 12 so let me now if it will be possible to get together

Sounds good..the only day I could squeeze in is a sunday..maybe..cause my supervisors are taking time off for exams..and Im the only one who can fill in :(
what time do the stores open on sunday there?

A Borders near me is closing, so I made a trip out there today and bought a few books at 30% off, woohoo!! I tried to not go crazy and only get books that were on my wishlist. :)



I also bought the HTF for only a $1 online - I'm thinking the fact that this story recently became available as an e-book has something to do with the low price.... I'm wondering if prices will come down as well since it's now an e-book... keep a look out!!
