Yes, why did you tell us this? I just ordered another book from Amazon, Wolf Hall because I needed another item to get free shipping. You know the deal? Spend another $11, and save $4 on shipping. Why do we fall for it?
I need more books like a hole in the head, but I'll ask. So, what's everyone ordering? |

Erika & Karla, you have to tell us what you ordered (I think that's in the by-laws). So far I have The Flight and Cathedral by the Sea in my cart, but I'm not finished. Shelley, they have tons of Bernard Cornwell. Last Edited on: 11/24/09 10:02 PM ET - Total times edited: 1 |

Oh. Crap. I have to resist. My TBR pile here is getting unmanageable... And DH would throw a fit. LOL Not because of the money, but because he hates that I have so many books... |

OMG, We all have the same husband!! How does that man get around?
I've been on Bookcloseouts since yesterday, pondering my cart. It's crazy-making. I hope you all know that if you go to e-bates first and then to the bookcloseouts site, you will get 6% back. I've ordered everything from books to shoes through e-bates and then when the amount is a certain total (I THINK it's about $12.00) they send you a check.

They had a ton of books that I already have, which I was kicking myself a little bit for, but here's the list. They didn't have anything from my WL so these are just ones I thought sounded interesting.
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford - Ron Hansen |

I kept it to under $2 per book because I'm a cheap %$^#& that way. I did weaken and spend $4 on 1906 by James Dalessandro, about corrupt SF & the earthquake Got 2 trashy romances for 99 cents each, and some blah contemp chick lit for a co-worker because she begged. I won't bore you with the titles, because I'm boring myself thinking about them.
Life Mask - Emma Donoghue An Assembly Such As This - Pamela Aidan (I hate P&P, but I'm curious if I'll like the published fanfiction for it :-P) Keeper of the Crystal Spring - Naomi & Deborah Baltuck The Memory Palace - Christie Dickason |

Your husband must be living at my house as well, he thinks I'm nuts! I'm going to stay away, though....I'm not sure I'll be able to get through my TBR pile in my lifetime! |

I bought ...
The Master of Verona I was too tired to try to find enough for $35 order. Believe it or not. |

So, I just had to go look. *sigh* I have 6 books in my cart that I'd love to buy. Now for a way to convince DH... |

I have no committee to run potential purchases through. Probably not a good thing, since I'm pretty impulsive when it comes to books. :P |

I caved like the house of cards that I am. Woe is me when DH checks out our debit card expenditures. The Sunne In Splendor, Sharon Kay Penman (Really? Who can resist an SKP for such a good price???) The Rose Without a Thorn, Jean Plaidy Tiger Claws, John Speed The Temple Dancer, John Speed (These two by Speed have been on my WL forever) Anthony & Cleopatra, Colleen McCullough The Concubine, Norah Lofts The Queenmaker, India Edghill The Secret Supper, Javier Sierra Catherine The Great: Love, Sex & Power, Virginia Rounding and . . . yes, I had to go there . . .
The Winter King, Excalibur, and Enemy of God, Bernard Cornwell. I figured it was fate that this trilogy was all available. I just read on BC's site today that he said that of all the books he's written, "The Arthur Books" are still his favorites. He practically begged me to buy them, for Pete's sake! I'm happy. I got 12 books for $35, which equals roughly $2.92/book. Who can afford NOT to buy at that price? Last Edited on: 11/26/09 9:49 AM ET - Total times edited: 1 |

Oh Shelley, you described that so well. My DH will say "this is why you're not getting a Kindle for Christmas - you keep getting more books!" I really had to restrain myself: The Queen's Bastard by Robin Maxwell Here Be Dragons by SKP Against a Crimson Sky by James Conroyd Martin (Author of Push Not the River, which I have on my WL) |

I folded too, of course, and found quite a few that I just had to have. And, since Donna is correct and tellin' what you got is our only law, here's my list: The Dragon's Tale - Adam Williams The Jewel Trader of Pegu - Jeffrey Hantover The Seance - John Harwood The Accomplice - Kathryn Heyman The Lightstep - John Dickinson The Indian Clerk - David Leavitt The Gates of the Alamo - Stephen Harrigan Sweetsmoke - David Fuller Symphony - Jude Morgan Sacred Ground - Barbara Wood The Blessing Stone - Barbara Wood Daughter of the Sun - Barbara Wood - Woman of A Thousand Secrets - Barbara Wood - I've never read any of her books, but I now have three of them; hope they are good! Kushiel's Scion - Jacqueline Carey Kushiel's Justice - Jacqueline Carey Kushiel's Mercy - Jacqueline Carey In Triumph's Wake: Royal Mothers, Tragic Daughters, and the Price They Paid for Glory - Julia P. Gelardi Normally, I wouldn't buy books that are posted here, but at $2.49, they were as cheap as the cost of earning a credit. I wish BCO would occasionally include non-fiction in their sales! They have tons of N/F that I'd love to get. |

Cathedral of the Sea The Flight Holy Fools The Mercy Seller Stand the Storm A Cup of Tea The Bondwoman's Narrative Infinity in the Palm of Her Hand The Bronze Horseman Sweetsmoke Becky Ordered Don't Let Her See Me Cry For the Love of Julie
