These are going to be the last impulse buys for a while now - thanks to the whole car dying and me having to get a new one thing. I hate technology.... grrrr... But hey, my TBR pile will get some attention anyway.

So. I got 2 books this week. And here they are.

Yip, as you will be able to tell, this isn't a book IMM.

Wanna know what one of my weaknesses is?

Anime!

Anime is my guilty pleasure.

And look what arrived through the post this morning. *SQUEEEEE*

The Ouran High School Host Club!

I stumbled across this on YouTube ages ago when I was looking for something else - I can't remember what I was trying to find...it might have been a song and a fan vid had been made to it (knowing me that is probably what it was).

*Happy dance*

The first series of 'The Melancholy Of Haruhi Suzumiya' and (possibly) 'Noein' too are the next on my list.

Anyone else seen these? Like them? Hate them? Or have any recommendations for me?

In My Mailbox - IT LIVES!!

I have an In My Mailbox. Like an actual In My Mailbox, these came by postman to my house. Been a while since I have posted one of these huh.

Moving on. Picture time!

 I won 100 Recipes Every Woman Should Know through twitter :-)

And I received Flying Blind by Deborah Cooke for review this morning.

*Skips away followed by the birds and squirrels of the forest*

It's that day of the week again :)

I have one book this week that I received for review from the publisher.

Love Inc by Yvonne Collins and Sandy Rideout

Zahra, Kali, and Syd would never have met if their parents' marriages hadn't fallen apart. But when the three girls collide in group counseling, they discover they have something else in common: they've each been triple-timed by the same nefarious charmer, Eric, aka Rico, aka Rick. Talk about eye-opening therapy.
Cheerful, diplomatic Zahra is devastated. Rico had been her rock and sole confidant. How could she have missed the signs? Folksy, flirtatious Kali feels almost as bad. She and Rick had only been on a few dates, but they'd felt so promising. Hardened vintage-vixen Syd is beyond tears. She and Eric had real history... Or so she'd thought. Now all three girls have one mission: to show that cheater the folly of his ways.Project Payback is such a success, the girls soon have clients lining up for their consulting services. Is your boyfriend acting shady? Dying to know if your crush is into you? Need match-making expertise? Look no further than Love, Inc.

Sounds good doesn't it :)

This is really, really, really LATE and I was considering not bothering but I couldn't do that because I am SO excited. So here goes.

First book is Starcrossed by Josephine Angelini! Andd I won this! I actually won this! I can't believe it, I never win things...

Isn't it pretty. It is so pretty.

But I have something that is even PRETTIER!

*breath in, breath out, breath in* scream and jump about with excitement.

Do you see THAT! It says Advanced Reader's Edition! This is the first ARC I have received through the post. And it is the last book of one of my most favourite series. Just look at it. I nearly cried when I opened the packet (if I'd known this was in it - kodak moment and everything - I would have been filming the grand 'opening' hehe.

SO happy!

Anyway, there is my little but of excitement over with.

Happy week everyone.

Oh, and a goodies giveaway should be going up some time this week so keep an eye out guys.

IMM can be found over at The Story Siren

So, I admit I went a bit over board with the books but it was The Works fault. Really it was. They shouldn't have such pretty books for such cheap prices...

Show and tell time :)

I love EBAY!

These were ordered from my local Waterstones about a month ago and they finally arrived and I picked them up today :)

Bought these at a second hand shop while I was on holiday. I have been looking for  Daddy Long Legs for years and TADA. I've now got it. 

And this was me going crazy at my local  The Works. ..yeah I went crazy. But £12 guys.... £12...

That't everything. I am so glad to have the rest of the Laurie R Kings books...well the next few anyway, I still have some gaps to fill in. :)

I now have an In My Mailbox worth mentioning. Thanks to the 99p book at my local 'The Works'.

In My Mailbox is  weekly meme hosted by Kristi over at The Story Siren

Small Dogs Can Save Your Life by Bel Mooney
The Girl with the Glass Feet by Ali Shaw

I know I am posting this a tad early but there will be another IMM post on Sunday (kindle IMM) and I am SO excited about the delivery of these.

In my mail box!

No, honestly, this time these were hand delivered by the mail man.

I have read this! Review will be up soon!
A luscious full-colour graphic novel — written by #1 New York Times bestseller Diana Gabaldon — that offers a completely new look at the original Outlander story!

The Exile retells the original Outlander novel from Jamie Fraser's point of view, revealing events never seen in the original story and giving readers a whole new insight into the Jamie-Claire relationship. Jamie's surreptitious arrival in Scotland at the beginning of the tale, his feelings about Claire, and much more — up to the point where Claire faces trial for witchcraft and must choose whether to return to her own century — are brought to life in brilliant four-colour art. A must-read — and a great holiday gift — for any Outlander fan!



From the author of Outlander... a magnificent epic that once again sweeps us back in time to the drama and passion of 18th-century Scotland...

For twenty years Claire Randall has kept her secrets. But now she is returning with her grown daughter to Scotland's majestic mist-shrouded hills. Here Claire plans to reveal a truth as stunning as the events that gave it birth: about the mystery of an ancient circle of standing stones ...about a love that transcends the boundaries of time ...and about James Fraser, a Scottish warrior whose gallantry once drew a young Claire from the security of her century to the dangers of his ....

Now a legacy of blood and desire will test her beautiful copper-haired daughter, Brianna, as Claire's spellbinding journey of self-discovery continues in the intrigue-ridden Paris court of Charles Stuart ...in a race to thwart a doomed Highlands uprising ...and in a desperate fight to save both the child and the man she loves....

As promised here is some more of my IMM for this week. I told you I went a little crazy with the kindle. This isn't all of them so more one more post should cover it - but I am too lazy (again) to finish it right now.
Some of these I have already read ad reviewed.


Mermaid book! I like mermaid books! I have finished this one and a review will be up soon.








I have already done a post on Whisper on the Wind. Ghosts and 'ghosts'. OK read.








Halfway through this one. I am really enjoying it. Haven't quite reached the solving of the mystery part yet though.










This isn't my usual kind of read but I was looking for something 'light' to read and I admit to being influenced by the cover. It looks like it will be a fun read. And also if I like it there are other books in the series.

I am about a third of the way through this, not really my kind of book but the idea seemed pretty cool. But right now his attitude is annoying me!









I have been desperate to read this book and it was only £0.99 on Amazon so I jumped at the chance before I lost it. Can't wait to read it.

So...maybe (just maybe) I went a little mad with the kindle purchases this week. I couldn't help it. They were mocking me. And most of them I got for £0.00 that't right folks! They were FREE! Amazing or what. 


Anyway, here goes. 


FREE KINDLE BOOKS FROM AMAZON

Jericho "J.T." Tucker wants nothing to do with Coventry, Texas's new dressmaker. He's all too familiar with her kind--shallow women more devoted to fashion than true beauty. Yet, except for her well-tailored clothing, this seamstress is not at all what he expected. Hannah Richards is confounded by the man who runs the livery. The unsmiling fellow riles her with his arrogant assumptions and gruff manner while at the same time stirring her heart with unexpected acts of kindness. Which side of Jericho Tucker reflects the real man? When Hannah decides to help Jericho's sister catch a beau--leading to uproarious consequences for the whole town--will Jericho and Hannah find a way to bridge the gap between them?

When spunky Marguerite Westing discovers that her family will spend the summer of 1895 at Lake Manawa, Iowa, she couldn't be more thrilled. It's the perfect way to escape her agonizingly boring suitor, Roger Gordon. It's also where she stumbles upon two new loves: sailing, and sailing instructor Trip Andrews.

But this summer of fun turns to turmoil as her father's secrets threaten to ruin the family forever. Will free-spirited Marguerite marry Roger to save her father's name and fortune? Or will she follow her heart--even if it means hurting the family she loves?

Lindsey Sims is staying with her grown sister's best friend, Rachel, while her parents are away on a trip to the Bahamas. Rachel Evans has received a mysterious letter from a man she's never met but who is, in a way, part of her family. Lindsey accompanies Rachel as she reluctantly answers the summons, and is plunged into a grown-up world of greed, jealousy and attempted murder. It's more than she bargained for, but twelve-year-old Lindsey is up to the challenge - and to discovering who is responsible for all the mischief.

Ellery Mayne is a high school girl who makes a disturbing discovery. After a foiled abduction attempt, she realizes that an entire team of security personnel are secretly shadowing her every move. As she works to make sense of this startling development, she secretly carries out observations of her own, testing the limits of a secret service detail who think they are conducting transparent surveillance on a clueless teenager. 

When the mystery behind the secret security unravels, Ellery is faced with decisions that involve her future and the hopes of two unlikely love interests: a handsome but conflicted security agent who doesn’t realize she knows about him, and her first love—a boy that broke her heart—who has returned to explain his actions and his feelings for her.
Told from Ellery’s perspective, she puzzles over what could interest not one but two handsome suitors and a whole security force. Suddenly this quiet loner realizes that her life is In the Spotlight and she is the Mayne Attraction

(I HAVE READ THIS ALREADY AND I THOROUGHLY ENJOYED IT)

And I am too lazy to put up the rest right now so be expecting another IMM post soon (evil laugh)
