I seem to be lucky. I think Chapters sends books as much as a week early whenever possible. :)

That sounds interesting. I'll have to add it to my TBA/TBT list. :)


message 118: by C.P. (new)

C.P. Cabaniss (cpcabaniss) | 8238 comments You should! I've heard great things about his books. I was planning to start with another of his series, but then I was able to get a review copy of the sequel to this, so that changed. :)

I end up buying at least one every time I go into town..

My most recent purchase was:
Release by Patrick Ness and One of Us Is Lying by Karen M. McManus .

I've actually been accepted to read one of us is lying on netgalley but when I saw it in store I had to buy it because the edges of the pages are pink and I've never had a book like that before so I thought why not haha :)

message 132: by Anna 'Bookbuyer' (new)

Anna 'Bookbuyer' (bookbuyer) | 9905 comments I just bought Darkest Powers Tales by Kelley Armstrong today after a lot of hassle.

I also ordered Touched (Sense Thieves, #1) by Corrine Jackson Dead Silence (The Body Finder, #4) by Kimberly Derting Persephone (Daughters of Zeus, #1) by Kaitlin Bevis part in thanks to the above hassle and a promotion at my local bookstore. Oh and a forgotten gift card lol.

Me too! Especially Darkest Powers Tales since it was a lot of trouble to get! :D

C.P. Cabaniss (cpcabaniss) | 8238 comments Why was ot trouble?


message 136: by Anna 'Bookbuyer' (new)

Anna 'Bookbuyer' (bookbuyer) | 9905 comments C.P. wrote: "Why was ot trouble?"

I was having trouble using my 10 dollars in points to buy it and called the store, the head office and went to the physical store and no one seemed to know what to do. So they ended up giving me a free 10$ gift card. :)


message 137: by C.P. (new)

C.P. Cabaniss (cpcabaniss) | 8238 comments No way. That is a tough book to buy. At least you have a good story.

True. Plus I got 10$ for free so I got to get an extra book. :)

message 141: by C.P. (new)

C.P. Cabaniss (cpcabaniss) | 8238 comments So...I shouldn't have, because I already own a paperback copy, but I picked up a hardcover of The Alloy of Law today. I decided that since I have the other two books in hardback and will be getting the final book when it releases, that I needed a matching one. Plus I was able to use credit that I had in store.

Me too! I love her series and it's been a really long time since she released one! I was starting to think there would never be another one!!!!


message 145: by C.P. (new)

C.P. Cabaniss (cpcabaniss) | 8238 comments I haven't read any of hers. Maybe I will try one at some point.

I love both her Tortall and Emelan series. She is one of my top 3 favorite authors. ^-^

Jessica  | 94 comments I read most of her books but it's been years, so I don't remember that much of them anymore.

I tend to re-read them every other year or so.

I'm about to go into Waterstones in Sheffield and get saga #2 and hopefully a whole load of books😍

Kylara Jensen | 437 comments C.P. wrote: "I haven't read any of hers. Maybe I will try one at some point."

Are you serious???? She is my all-time favorite author and THE pivotal author of my childhood. I HIGHLY recommend reading anything by her. They are short reads. Talk to me about a reading order. They are so good. Her first series, the Alanna series has some of the flaws of a first novel and is a teensy bit derivative so I recommend you start with Wild Magic. You being an animal/horse person would LOVE it. I am sure.
