Well, it's getting to be that time of year again... The time of year that I stock up on a few new books. When the weather outside is chilly, I don't think there is anything better than curling up in a fuzzy blanket and reading a good book. I think that is how I spend most of my winter so I have to make sure to buy enough to last me until May-ish. lol! My first stop is always our little public library. They have a big donation area where I drop off the ones that I decided not to keep from the previous year, and then they have a section of books anywhere from FREE-$2! Some of them are brand new books too! Here's what I found on my first trip:
Hope Ignites - Jaci Burton
Larkspur Road - Jill Gregory
Butterfly Cove - Christina Skye
Shoe Addicts Anonymous - Beth Harbison
The Name of the Wind - Patrick Rothfuss
The Cupcake Queen - Helper
Someday, Someday, Maybe - Lauren Graham
The Lovely Bones - Alice Sebold
Collection of Jane Austen's 4 Classic Novels - Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Emma, and Persuasion (I mostly just bought this to add to my collection, because I have read them all but Persuasion)
I always buy a couple really cheesy romance novels...because, why not?
Have you read any of these titles? What ones would you suggest that I add to my reading list this Fall/Winter?
I like that Jane Austen collection you got! That would keep me busy for a while.
ReplyDeleteI definitely ugly cried in the Lovely Bones, so well written though. I have Someday, Someday, Maybe on my list too!
ReplyDeleteI really wish I read more. I keep meaning to...and I buy the books...but then everything else has to be done and reading is definitely put on the back burner.
ReplyDeleteBut for a suggestion - The Art of Racing in the Rain. We cheated and listened to the audio book while driving from AZ to AL but it's a really great story.
The cupcake queen sounds interesting! Bargain books are always the best! :P
ReplyDeleteI will definitely add that to my list. Thanks Julie!
ReplyDeleteYeah, if I'm honest I bought that one just for the title alone! haha!
ReplyDeleteOOOooo that one sounds really good! I just googled it. lol!
ReplyDeleteI just started the Lovely Bones and MAN, that beginning part is so hard to get through when she explains what happened to her. I had to put it down and come back to it because I got so angry. yeesh! I was REALLY excited about Someday, Someday, Maybe because it's written by Lauren Graham and I loved her on Gilmore Girls. haha!
ReplyDeleteI actually squeaked from excitement when I saw it! haha! It's in perfect condition and Pride and Prejudice is my favorite book of all time.
