The sequel is out in 2018 and is set in world war 1 by the looks of it. Exciting.

I'm not in a hurry either. We can read it later in the year.

Peggy wrote: "I'm not in a hurry either. We can read it later in the year."That's great. I will look forward to it, whenever we decide to read it :)
On Sunday I bought "A Game of Thrones by George R.R Martin". Its in a series of 3 books, can't remember them now. But can't wait to start reading!
There is a buddy read for Golem already set up some where I believe. I still seem to be the only one who hated that book

I know a couple of people who read it and didn't like it either.

I'd be up for a buddy read on this one as well!

It's on my list to read this year so anytime will work for me. :)
My audiobook version is spelled "Jinni"The Golem and the Jinni
The Golem and the Djinni
Both versions are listed in the database.
For the toppler, I used an Audible credit and downloaded Bloodsucking Fiends. I had some time to kill before the toppler started so I browsed through the Kindle Monthly Deals. Bad idea!I had In the Blood on my wishlist and it was $1.99. So I got it and 3 more of the series for $1.99 each:
To the Grave
The Last Queen of England
The Lost Empress
And just because I was so grossed out by Seed, I picked up another one of her books, Within These Walls

"Ohhhh, I want that one."
I had been wanting it for absolutely ages. It sounds so good! I don't know why it took me so long to buy a copy.
I just picked up a few Kindle freebies: 
Plus I picked these up while I was there:
I just picked up the audio of The Murder at the Vicarage. I now have a few Agatha Christie's. Hopefully, one of them will win for BOTM. This one hasn't been nominated, but a couple people have said that Miss Marple is their favorite (someone in the nomination thread, I think mentioned it too) and I picked it up because it is the first in that series.
Amy got onto her Kindle account and bought me some $1.99 books. Coal River, The Lies of Locke Lamora, and The Chess Queen Enigma.Oh and I bought Descent and Work Song off of the library sale shelf.
I bought Pope Joan. I've been wanting to read it for a while and it fits into the Geocaching Challenge.
I can't wait to hear how you like Lies of Locke Lamora, Cherie. :)I hope you enjoy Pope Joan, Roz.
My husband and I went away for my birthday this weekend and we just happened to drive by a bookstore. :) So, of course, we had to stop and I got a nice hardcover copy of What If?: Serious Scientific Answers to Absurd Hypothetical Questions and a signed first edition hardcover of Pretty Happy: Healthy Ways To Love Your Body. :) Very happy right now!
Happy birthday Kristie! I like that you just happened to drive by a bookstore. Love those kinds of happenings. :)
I picked up a Kindle daily deal - I Shall Be Near to You, but I got it on iBooks who was offering the same price.
Happy Birthday, Kristie! I really want to read LoLL, Janice, but I have my Tribute challenge book, two library books, and and another Buddy read to get through yet.
Thank you, ladies. Having a great day. :)

No need to pressure yourself. You'll get to it eventually. :)

My lovely parents just surprised me with the beautiful, 20th anniversary collector's edition of 'Outlander'. They bought it to cheer me up as I have been having a bit of a rough time lately. I'm over the moon! :)Outlander
What a lovely gift. I hope things start picking up for you, Lisa.
Janice wrote: "What a lovely gift. I hope things start picking up for you, Lisa."Thanks, Janice. It has been a tough couple of months but things have picked up a little bit these past couple of days :) It is a really lovely gift, I'm very lucky.
Great gift! so thoughtful form your parents, Lisa!
I hope all goes better for you, Lisa! Enjoy your book!
Two new books this morning - The Blessing Way (Kindle Daily Deal)
Playing with Fire (Audible Daily Deal)

Bad idea..."I loved Bloodsucking fiends. Moore is on of my guilty pleasures. I am almost embarrassed at the loud guffaws I make when I read his books
I'll certainly read more of Moore. :)
Oops, I thought I bought The Blessing Way, but I actually bought Coyote Waits. I kept Coyote Waits, but I had to go back and buy The Blessing Way. Sheesh!
