So BEA...WOW! That was a totally awesome time and experience and yeah, lots of great reads to be picked up if I'm so lucky enough to snag them! Luckily, I got all that I was planning for, so I wasn't left upset about any books! I tried to be selective in my picking things up because I knew I had about 200 unread books at home. I've even weeded a few ARCs out that I might read later on or might just giveaway in a giveaway sometime soon! We shall wait and see I guess!
So for the past two weeks, I've acquired a lot of new reads! Ironically, I think I only really got 1 book last week while I was away, so yay?!
The Countdown by Kimberly Derting
The Crown's Game by Evelyn Skye
Poison Study by Maria V. Snyder--yes, I already have this one! But when I went to HPB for a tent sale, didn't find anything there, but inside the store I found this beauty! In HARDCOVER! Don't I have a hardcover? Well, yes, and it is signed, but to someone else! I bought it at another bookstore awhile back, but I couldn't help but pick up this copy unsigned as it is! I figure next time I see Maria, I can have her truly personalize it to me! It was marked to $6 and then I used a 15% off coupon so it was practically a steal! A delightful steal that involved squeeing! LOL!
Divine Descendant by Jenna Black
Then I won this one last week as well:
Powerless by Tera Lynn Childs & Tracy Deebs--SIGNED by Tera!! One down, one to go! (in terms of signatures!)
Then for review I received:

Awakened by Fire by Erin Kellison (ARC)--already read & reviewed!

Finished copies that I either bought or got:
Last Call at the Nightshade Lounge by Paul Krueger--SIGNED!
The Awakening of Sunshine Girl by Paige McKenzie--a total bargain as it was only $8 for the hardcover! I still need to read book 1, but I am a sucker for a bargain!
The Outliers by Kimberly McCreight--SIGNED! Been hearing good things about this one and I love a good thriller!
Doon by Carey Corp & Lori Langdom--SIGNED! I still need to start this series and decided I'd rather get book 1 signed than the ARC of book 4 that was also available. I'm weird I guess! LOL!
Return to the Isle of the Lost by Melissa de la Cruz--SIGNED!
Everland by Wendy Spinale--SIGNED!
Color Me to Sleep--a coloring book that was out somewhere, so I thought, why not?!
So I really only bought the first three out of these, and felt rather good about that! That tiny blue book was just one that I got for free when I bought Last Call at the Nightshade Lounge. A little book of Everything a Woman Should Know...found some of the info a tad offensive though. Like how to throw a football, change a tire, parallel park, give a mind blowing, knock his socks off kiss...so yeah...not sure how I feel about that one! There wasn't a whole lot of interesting books to choose from when it came to getting my "free book". But it's no biggie!
Then I also got one of my preorder incentives, this one for A Court of Mist and Fury!! The tote is so cool! I think the last one I am waiting on is my The Rose and the Dagger print! Can't wait for that one to arrive either!
Sides 1 & 2! Now to read the book and find that quote!! :D
Yes, I'm terrible! I still need to read it! Though based on the cliffhanger I am hearing about, I feel wise in waiting...not sure how long I will be able to wait though. We shall see! Maybe I'll save it for when we drive, yes DRIVE to Florida! I think it's like 16 hours...so yeah...I'll want a long one! :D
And that was my incredible two week haul!! Pretty excited about everything I got too! What did you all get this week?
