I also bought a few Kindle titles this week because some authors are having an awesome sale right now. I've included both Canada and US Amazon store links, and if you want the UK page, just replace the ".ca" or ".com" with ".co.uk" in your address bar. ;D Anyway...I'm sooooo excited for these! Honestly, this was an AMAZING book haul. I've already read Warm Bodies actually, but I really wanted my own copy, so I bought one of the movie-tie-ins and I love it! :D I'm especially excited for Everbound and Shadows in the Silence!!! :D Also, I sponsored Nikki's project for The Tease a while ago and so I got a copy of the book, which she was kind enough to sign! :D

Other Awesome Buys:
Game of Thrones: Daenerys Vinyl Figure
Game of Thrones: Set of 4 Magnetic Bookmarks
Game of Thrones: Stark Sigil Mug
I purchased all of these from Entertainment Earth...and I'm so excited that they arrived! The Dany figure is adorable, and I'm loving my Stark mug! I also can't wait to use my bookmarks...which were a total steal by the way! Only $3.99 for the set...and it has both a Dany and a Jon one!!! :D Okay...fangril freakout ends NOW! haha I swear I'm not advertising for them or anything, I'm just totally psyched about these purchases...and I'm pretty obsessed with this series. :P haha

Won:
Signed Bookmarks and a V is for Virgin Keychain
I won some bookmarks and a keychain from V is for Virgin author, Kelly Oram, and they came this week! :D The keychain is really cute, and I loved the book...so I'm pretty psyched to have some bookmarks for it! :D

Glad to hear you loved The Sea of Tranquility! :D Thanks! :D
DeleteThanks! Yup, she emailed me too. :D I already got my ARC copy though, so I told her I already had a copy, but it was seriously so nice of her to email about it! :D Happy Reading to you, too! :D
ReplyDeleteHoly books this week, Ambur!! I still need to give Warm Bodies a try ... I'm just not sure what to think yet.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy all your books!
haha I did get quite a bit this week. :P I loved it myself, but it all depends what you'd like.
DeleteThanks! :D
So the Goblin Wars trilogy - those books have mostly slid under my radar, but every once in a while I'll read a review that has very positive things to say about it. So I'm definitely curious. I'll have to wait on your review to find out how it fares! Ditto with Brightly Woven because I've been curious about that one, too, and I think it might be one that I'd really enjoy. OH and LOVE the Daenerys figurine!! She doesn't look as fierce as she normally looks, but she does look cute!
ReplyDeleteI'm so in love with the Goblin Wars trilogy...it's amazing, and so unique! Plus, the characters are freaking amazing! I'll let you know the final verdict on the last book though. ;) Ya, I'm the same way with Brightly Woven...I think I'll like it, so hopefully I will. :D Agreed! She's definitely cuter than usual, but I really like her. :D
