I know this will come as a shocking surprise to you, but I have a bit of a problem when it comes to controlling my book buying impulses. I regularly inform hubs that it's a cheaper habit than loving shoes, handbags, or plastic surgery so he should be thankful.
But I thought it'd been fun to occasionally let you know what I've been clicking buy on. I talk about what I read and love on Must Read Mondays, so this won't be about books I've read but about books I've bought and added to my TBR pile.
Here goes:
The Haunting Season by Michelle Muto
Why: Because it's a Daily Deal and I can't resist a sale or a creepy-sounding book
First Grave on the Right by Darynda Jones
(Paranormal/Urban Fantasy)
Why: I've heard nothing but good things about this series. The first page hooked me. I met Darynda last year at RWA and she was lovely. And it was on sale.
The Submission Gift by Solace Ames
(Erotic Romance)
Why: I think I saw this one reviewed somewhere, maybe RT magazine? And I love a story with a married couple because there aren't a lot out there in romancelandia. (Which is also why I wrote one with Still Into You)
Foreplay by Sophie Jordan
(New Adult)
Why: I went to Sophie's workshop at a conference this past weekend and then got to chat with her at dinner that night. I was intrigued by the premise of this one.
Still Life With Strings by L.H. Cosway
Why: I liked her book Painted Faces and I saw a good review for this one on a book blog.
Control by Charlotte Stein
(Erotic Romance)
Why: I've been on a Charlotte Stein kick lately.
Sweet Disorder by Rose Lerner
(Historical Romance)
Why: I saw a few book bloggers chatting about this one on Twitter and the blurb caught my eye.
Third Degree by Julie Cross
New Adult
Why: I heart Julie's writing. I got to read this one early for a cover quote but I bought it because I know it was tweaked afterward and I want to read the final version.
Write Your Novel From the Middle by James Scott Bell
(Writing Craft)
Why: I pretty much love everything James Scott Bell has to say about writing, so I needed this one, too.
So that's my haul for the week. What did you buy?
