I hope everyone's Saturday is going great! We are being pummeled by a Blizzard over here but it's a welcome change from all the frigid temperatures we've had lately! Regardless, I'm safe inside in my pj's, with a cup of warm tea & the wood stove keeping me warm...and maybe a kitty or 2 on my lap... ♥ heaven!
This week I finally made it to the bookstore and this is what I came out with:
I *just* started reading the first Charley Davidson book this week, and within a few chapters I knew I was going to love this series. I love Charley's feisty attitude & the supernatural/grim-reaper element makes the whole thing exciting. I'm kind of in an 'adult fantasy' kick right now so I knew I'd want book 2 in this Paranormal Romance series handy for I'm done book 1!
...And, since I've only got one book left to read in the Mistborn Trilogy, I needed to stock up on more Sanderson. When I saw the size of The Way of Kings, I knew it would keep me busy for a while, and the premise sounds brilliant (of course)! I'm eager to discover the goodness within :D
Eeeek - this one was on my 2013 must-read list!! It's exciting to keep checking some of those bad boys off. I almost bought this one full price after the Holidays so imagine my delight to find that it was on sale in e-book format for one day only for like $4.50! Needless to say I was grateful I was able to take advantage of such an awesome deal. I've heard great things about this one & I'm dying to read it.
I'd tried to get a copy of this one on Netgalley when I first started blogging but was declined *sob*...so I was thrilled to find out I'd managed to win a copy through a Twitter Giveaway. A HUGE thanks to Flux Books for the gorgeousness! I've always been obsessed with ancient Egypt & I just love anything to do with Cleopatra ♥
What goodies did you get this week?

Throne of Glass was awesome. I really do hope you love all your new books.

DeleteI hope you enjoy Throne of Glass and all Charlie Davidson books - they were awesome reads! This is a fantastic haul! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Kara :D
DeleteAlly just got Throne of Glass from the library this morning. Good thing no one else was in the YA section because I kind of yelled to her when I spotted it; we'd never seen it on the shelves before. I hope you enjoy reading it, along with your other new books!
ReplyDeletehahaha I would have loved to have been there for that :D Well I'm glad Ally got her hands on it too, I'm anxious to compare notes!! Thanks for stopping by Lee ♥
DeleteOhh Throne of Glass! I really hope you like it! I absolutely adored it and I can't wait for the second one!

Thanks Jessica! :)
DeleteBe safe during the Blizzard! We have quite a bit of snow in Switzerland too at the moment, but nothing comparable to that :/ But as long and the heating is on and you have tea and kittens, I guess the world is alright ;)
ReplyDeleteThrone of Glass is amazing, I hope you'll enjoy it too! And I really want to get into Darynda Jones' adult novels - I enjoyed Death and the Girl Next Door. But I've still not read Sanderson *hides* I hope you'll love this book as much as his Mistborn series :) Great haul, hun *hugs*
Here's my StS
Oh my, I always Switzerland had comparable snowfall amounts to us?! LOL In any event you're right with the fire blazing, tea & kitties I survived alright :D
DeleteI thought you'd really loved Throne of Glass but I wasn't sure...haha >.< I haven't read Darynda's Death & the Girl Next Door but I'm glad to hear you did, I'll have to check that one out after I'm done with her Charley Davidson series!! And there's no need to hide from your lack of Sanderson (as long as you promise to check him out soon!!)...after all, I only discovered him last year :) Thanks for visiting love ♥
I've been wanting to read Throne of Glass for a long time and haven't gotten to. I'm gonna have to buy it soon! Everyone seems to like it, so you'll have to let me know how you do!!
ReplyDeleteEveryone really does seem to have enjoyed this one don't they?! I hope you manage to get a hold of it soon :)
DeleteThe Throne of Glass looks phenomenal. Let me know what you think! Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI hope I can get to it soon Janita :D Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteI started the Mistborn trilogy but haven't quite finished it. It's on my list to reread and finish because I loved what I read.
ReplyDeleteThrone of Glass is AWESOME. I read it in a day. It definitely earned the title of one of my favourite books :D
I hope you enjoy all you books!

Here's our haul.
I hope you will continue with the Mistborn books!! And your comment about Throne of Glass made me very happy :D
DeleteThanks so much for stopping by Bec ♥

Oh that's excellent news Kimberly, thanks for the feedback :D
DeleteYou got some really great books this week. I really want to read Darynda Jone's series. It sounds so awesome and I have heard great things about it. Throne of Glass is another book I need to get. Awesome haul babe!!

DeleteSecond Grave on the Left sounds like a really good one!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing it! Enjoy :)
Thanks for stopping by!! :)
DeleteI haven't read Throne of Glass yet, but I've heard absolutely wonderful things about it. I should really get on that :)
ReplyDeleteAnyway, happy reading!
haha you and me both! Thanks for visiting Quinn :)
DeleteThrone of Glass is so so good! You must read it soon!
ReplyDeleteMy Haul! Letterbox Love!
Yay! I loved reading that :D Thanks Annabelle!!
DeleteGreta haul! I really want to read Throne of Glass, but I'm trying to read the books I already have first. :(
ReplyDeleteI can definitely relate to that - yikes, so many books...I do hope you manage to get your hands on it soon though :)
DeleteI have "Second Grave On The Left" and "Throne of Glass" on my TBR shelf at Goodreads, but I haven't heard of the other two books before. Well, I HAVE heard the name Brandon Sanderson, though. I will definitely add these to the shelf!! Oh, and by the way, I LOVE the cover of "Cleopatra Ascending"! I recently got my hair styled just like that!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, and Happy Reading!! :)
Thanks for stopping by Maria :)
DeleteI really want to pick up Throne of Glass, heard its amazing and the heroine is kick butt!!
ReplyDeleteawesome book haul,
and new follower :D

I hope you'll get your hands on it too soon Juhina :) Thanks so much for visiting & following!!
DeleteI really need to read the Darynda Jones series! Everyone seems to love them so much but I am kind of scared of them because I wasn't a fan of the one book that I read by her (Death and The Girl Next Door) but that was YA so maybe her adult books will be different. Awesome haul chickie!
ReplyDeleteOh I haven't even read Death & the Girl Next Door but for some reason I was never really attracted to that one as much as her adult series. I just finished book 1 and rated it 3.5 so not too shabby...I'm told the series improves as you go too. Sorry you didn't like your first experience with Darynda though...that kind of thing can really put you off! Thanks for stopping by hun ♥
DeleteI am listening to Sanderson's Mistborn on audio right now. My daughter is a huge fan of his, but this is my first time with his work.
ReplyDeleteI like the sound of your daughter, she has great taste! ;) I hope you'll LOVE Mistborn as much as I did Ali!!
DeleteFirst Grave was really good==I listened to it on Audio, but never had the time to continue w. the rest of this series. One thing that stuck for me about the series==Reyes== *Swoon* Have a great week! Enjoy all your awesome reads.
ReplyDeleteI just finished book 1 and I have to say I couldn't agree more with you *sigh* he was pretty freaking yummy! Wow! haha I can't wait to read about him some more :D Thanks for stopping by hun ♥
DeleteOur bookshelves are starting to look entertainingly similar ;-) I highly approve!!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome :D Thanks for visiting Anya xox
DeleteOh awesome! I hope you love Throne of Glass - I had SO much fun with it! I'll be curious to hear about what you think of the protag, Celaena, because I know a lot of people didn't like her and thought her arrogance was a turn off. For me, I didn't really like it at first, but I was surprised at how much she grew on me and how much I came to like her! Arrogant, sure, but also loyal and friendly.
ReplyDeleteSo, ever since finding out who Brandon Sanderson is from your Mistborn reviews, I've been asking around, trying to find out who else I know who has heard of him - turns out I was living under a rock or something because a lot of people I know have heard of him and are fans. My own bf, for instance, is a fan of his! haha, I had no idea. But he is most definitely on my radar now.
Eeeek I'm even more excited to read it & compare notes, thanks for the insightful feedback!!
ReplyDeletehaha well that's awesome, I only found out about him last year myself but the more I read up on him the more I felt just like you said: like I was living under a rock for not knowing any of it sooner! I'm SO glad I did thought & I'm eager for you to read his books too :D
