A Very Large April Book Haul.

Hey y'all!

So in April I have in a book-like slump, but for some reason that didn't stop me from buying and checking out books from the library and the Giant Bookstore above Nordstrom Rack in Perimeter Mall (if you know where that is, then you know what I'm talking about). I wanted to do this separately, but then I decided against it since it's May already-a couple weeks to go before I graduate (hopefully) so if you wanna read or see the books I've gotten in April, carry on reading. 

1. Blood Lines by Tanya Huff (I really hate this cover. I really really do.)
2. Cyndere's Midnight by Jeffery Overstreet-never actually heard of him before, and I honestly fell in love with the cover-and the synopsis of the book sounds really good. 
3. The Wicked: A Vampire Huntress Novel by L.A. Banks-when I saw this book, I honestly squealed because I've read this author since high school and never got to finish her novels, and I gave away the ones I have (I think) so now I'm going to be on the hunt to buy all of L.A. Banks Vampire Huntress novels, like I'm doing the Laurell K. Hamilton novels. 

1. Spun by Sorcery (Sugar Maple, #3) by Barabra Bretton-done with it, doing a book review now
2. Deeply Devoted, a Blue Willow Brides novel by Maggie Brendan
3. Lady of Ch'iao Kuo: A Royal Diaries novels by Laurence Yep
4. Nimona by Noelle Stevenson
5. John Constanine: Hellblazer
6. By the Shores of Sliver Lake by Laura Ingwalls Wilders

What's In My Book Purse-12/10/2015

Hey y'all!

So this is the last library book haul of the year till next year or Christmas, where I'll get new books to read next year. So let's get on with the little haul!

The Dead Girls' Dance: The Morganville Vampires by Rachel Caine

I'm going to get this book series-I have the last book of the series and I want the rest of them.

Fearless FBI: Agent Out by Francine Pascal

Used to read the Fearless series and when I saw this, I HAD TO GET IT. 

A Hero for WondLa by Tony DiTerlizzi

Saw Regan from PersueProject talk about this book series, and since my library only have book two and not the first book, I decided to pick it up. 

Save the Date by Mary Kay Andrews

Have no earthly idea why I picked this book out, but since it's set in Georgia, my homestate (its set in Savannah, GA) so this might be good

The Counterfeit Heiress by Tasha Alexander

My first mystery-never read one before. Hope it's really good.

What's in my Book Purse 1/21/2013: Gosling vs Efron

Hey y'all and Happy New Year! I'm so sorry I haven't blogged in AGES-school started and it has been kicking my ass from here to North Carolina. So for this book haul, I got three books and two of them has two very sexy characters that I think you all know and love. So without further ado, here's the books for the month of January/February.

From Left to Right:

Happy Ever After by Nora Roberts

The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks

The Lucky One by Nicholas Sparks

Yep...I got The Notebook and The Lucky One, or as I like to call them, Gosling vs Efron. I already read Channing Tatum (Dear John) already and boy it was good. Now I'm reading Gosling first and boy is it good. Already I'm falling for Gosling's character (and if I ever meet Ryan Gosling, I would jump him, drag him to my room, and have my way with him without his current girlfriend knowing) and I just wanna slap Rachel McAdams's character but that will be in a review real soon. 

Now the Lucky One I haven't seen the movie yet but when I do, I would probably want to jump Zac Efron's bones after I get done with Ryan Gosling. But I have a feeling that I'm going to love Efron's character as well...I think...

I don't normally read Nora Roberts books but I tried to read Happy Ever After and I decided to read it again and already I'm in love with it and about to ship the book's main characters. I'm not going to tell you who but in a future review I will. 

What's in My Purse Bag: December 2012

Hey y'all and it's December-the last month of the year and its my favorite time of the year, Christmas. It's where we put up Christmas trees, lights and decorations, write our Christmas lists to Santa Claus and then wait till Christmas Eve, where you just can't go to sleep because you're waiting on Santa to come down the chimney to bring you Christmas. So this month, the books I got are....

Book Review: This Duchess of Mine by Eloisa James

No man can resist Jemma's sensuous allure . . . Except her own husband

Wedding bells celebrating the arranged marriage between the lovely Duchess of Beaumont and her staid, imperturbable duke had scarcely fallen silent when a shocking discovery sent Jemma running from the ducal mansion. For the next nine years she cavorted abroad, creating one delicious scandal after another (if one is to believe the rumors).

Elijah, Duke of Beaumont, did believe those rumors.

But the handsome duke needs an heir, so he summons his seductive wife home. Jemma laughs at Elijah's cool eyes and icy heart--but to her secret shock, she doesn't share his feelings. In fact, she wants the impossible: her husband's heart at her feet.

But what manner of seduction will make a man fall desperately in love . . . with his own wife?

(from goodreads)

Everytime I read an Eloisa James novel, I get a smile on my face and I enjoy the book, and this book was amazing. I felt sorry for Elijah because he is having heart problems and throughout the book but at the end his heart problems go away. Also the one thing that confused me throughout this whole entire book was the playing chess in bed. Like seriously, who does that? Why Jemma and Elijah does!

This book also has a little story about the Duke of Villiers and how he's trying to find six of his bastard children. He found the first one, Tobias aka Juby and now he's looking for the rest of his children including a wife...and that would be in the next book of the Desperate Duchesses series. 

Also this book shows (or tells) how Jemma and Elijah "wooed" each other and I honestly like it.

What's in My Book Purse 9/17/2012

I went to the library today and got two more books that I'll be reviewing really soon once I get done with the last book from the last What's in My Book Purse, which is Eloisa James' "This Dutchess of Mine". So what two books made it in my purse this month? (pictures taken by me)

Debbie Macomber-6 Rainier Drive-I've read one of her books and was hooked quick. Since I never finished it, I went to the library and tried to look for it again. But sadly someone checked it out so I got this one instead.

F. Scott Fitzgerald-The Great Gatsby-Oh yeah. I've always wanted to read this because I've never read it before and I wanna read it so I can see the movie in December. 

Book I'm still reading:

Eloisa James-This Dutchess of Mine-Nearly done with this book and I might end up reviewing it tomorrow depending how tomorrow goes. 

What's in My Book Purse-8/20/12

So this is my first post on here and I figured I show you the books I have in my 'book purse' (I'll take a photo of it real soon) so what am I reading this month???

To Catch a Highlander by Karen Hawkins-I've read this book before but I never finished it. This time, though, I will finish it. I always wondered what happened between the two characters and I'm going to finish this....dang it. 

The Vampire Diaries Stefan's Diaries Vol. 6: The Compelled by L.J. Smith-I've almost read all of the Stefan's Diaries books (go to my book reviewing tumblr to read more) and this one is the next one...getting chills from the Damon (Ian Somerhalder) photo on the cover....that smirk tho...

 This Duchess of Mine by Eloisa James-I'm currently reading this book (just like the other one) and OMG I'm loving it already.
