Books, books and more books

I swear, I think I'll never be able to stop myself from buying books... I guess buying books make me happy and cheer me up :D I mean, I was able to refrain myself one week... one tiny week... 7-8 days... but what's the point if when you start buying books again, you double the amount of what you really should be buying?

anyway, to satisfy Kristie's curiosity, here are my new possessions:

(ARGHHH! I hate Internet explorer and work... wouldn't allow me to put up the covers! So I'll do that once I get home)

- London's Perfect Scoundrel by Suzanne Enoch
- Venetia by Georgette Heyer
- Must Love Dragons by Stephanie Rowe
- The Mountain Call by Caitlin Brennan
- The Untamed Heiress by Julia Justiss

Those are the books I bought yesterday at Indigo :D I got London's Perfect Scoundrel because of Romancelover's recommendation and Venetia, because of Jennie (as well as Kristie and Mailyn in the comments)... Must Love Dragons was kind of a no-brainer and The Mountain Call, well I've been very curious about it... You know that I've bought books by Marie Brennan recently (Doppelganger and Warrior and Witch)... guess who's books are next to Marie Brennan? Yep, you guess right... Caitlin Brennan :D and I mean, her covers are really nice!!! and I got The Untamed Heiress because it looked interesting... So yeah, that's for Indigo.... Now, onto the UBS.


- Drop Dead Gorgeous by Jennifer Skully
- The Chosen by Sharon Sala
- Pillars of the World by Anne Bishop
- Shadows of Light by Anne Bishop

Got Drop Dead Gorgeous because it seemed funneh... The Chosen because it's from Sharon Sala and I've been wanting to read it for awhile... and well, it's used, so cheaper. As for the two Anne Bishop, well it's Anne Bishop. Loved her Black Jewels trilogy so I wanted to try those two... turns out it's from the same series (lucky me)... Anyone knows if there's another volume to it tho?

And from Zellers?

- Love at First Bite (anthology)
- Tin Box by Holly Kennedy
- Knight of Darkness by Kinley MacGregor (well, really Sherrilyn Kenyon)
- Valley of Silence by Nora Roberts
- The Rules of Seduction by Madeline Hunter
- An Unexpected Pleasure by Candace Camp
- Fools Rush In by Kristan Higgins

So the break down... well, I wasn't planning to buy Love at First Bite or Knight of Darkness... however, I found them at Zellers for relatively 25% cheaper, so I cave in. It's that easy to get me buy books. I mean, Love at first bite contains a Dark-Hunter story... (I know, I know... why do I keep reading them? Habit I guess... or because it's a series and I don't want to stop). As for Knight of Darkness, well, really, dunno. Didn't even finish the first one of that series... but hey, cheap right? Tin Box sounded good and pretty serious which I haven't read for awhile. Valley of Silence, well to complete the trilogy, because at this point, I really don't care about Moira or Cian. Well, maybe a bit about Cian... AS for An Unexpected Pleasure, well at that time, I was reading Winterset by Candace Camp... and both male characters are brothers... so I wanted to give it another go. As for Fools Rush In, it seems like a cutsy one. Oh, and let's not forget The Rules of Seduction... I've been wanting to try Madeline Hunter's book and I remember seeing this cover either on Sybil or Romancelover's blog...

Hmmm. 2 things I realize after writing this post... 1) well, I might not be uploading all the covers, but probably a couple of them :P cos all, well that would be a lot. and is there a limit to how much pics you can upload in one post? or maybe the sidebar... 2) I'm really an impulsive buyer ^^; but I guess that I knew. Sorta.

So now, my estimate is that the new Indigo is going to open either next week-end or near the end of the month... I really think they're going to have something special for their grand opening so hopefully, by that time, I'll have more titles in mind to buy :P

so what do you think? Should I do another self-imposed ban on buying books if the "after the ban" is like this? hmmm....
