I got a lot of J.R Ward books…a lot. I found these on eBay, $30 (incl. postage) for the lot. I had been wanting to get the Aussie covers, because, well, these covers aren’t really for me, but at that price I could forgo them looking pretty on my shelves. Here’s hoping I still enjoy the vampire series. It’s been a few years since I read the first two.
There’s a distinct purple-ness to my book haul this week. I finally decided to give in and get a copy of Heartbeat, adding it to my pile of contemporaries I want to check out this year. I haven’t been able to find a copy of The Girl In The Clockwork Collar in-store, but I’m going to keep trying. I picked up the third in the series in case it disappears in the mean time. Why is it so hard to find previous Harlequin releases in Australia once the next book in a series comes out? It’s exactly why I’ve been collecting Julie Kagawa’s books with each new release even though I haven’t even started this series yet.
The rest are some bargain books I picked up on the cheap in order to finish off or fill out missing places in series I’ve been collecting. I did read Blood Feud back in 2011, but I’m not sure what happened in it anymore. I recall a family of vampires, and…caves, maybe. I’m not sure. You can see it didn’t leave a lasting impression on me. I’ve got books three and four on my shelves already, but I don’t think I’ll be getting around to them any time soon. I’m waiting on my TBD order to arrive with some other goodies I want to check out.
Here are some of my latest posts if you want to check them out:
LaFevers, Robin His Fair Assassin #1, Grave Mercy – Joey’s guest review.
Terrill, Cristin All Our Yesterdays #1, All Our Yesterdays – LOVED this!
Westerfeld, Scott Uglies #2, Pretties – Wasn’t for me.
That’s it for this time. So, what books have you gotten lately? Which of these books would you recommend I read first? Let me know in the comments.
Ha yes I can definitely see the purple-ness 😀
I’m really glad you liked All Our Yesterdays! I adore that book.
I have the first book in the Steampunk Chronicles but haven’t read it so idk how it is.
I also have the Blood of Eden books but haven’t read those either O_O
I do like The Secret Circle – well when I read it way back when it high school I enjoyed them a lot.
And woah that’s a LOT of JR Ward. I’m contemplating whether I should start because I do like PNR.
Enjoyyyy 😀
It seems we have been surrounded by some of the same books recently 🙂 I recently bought a copy of Heartbeat and The Forever Song too. I totally get what your saying about finding Harlequin previous books in the series, hence why I have The Eternity Cure and The Forever Song when I have only read (and loved) The Immortal Rules.
I don’t know which to read first, but it does look like a great haul!

I liked Bood Feud. I’d hoped to finish the series by now but I can’t get books 5 and 6 looked at because my 62 year old dad is engrossed in them! Happy reading!
I haven’t read anything by Elizabeth Scott, but I’ve heard that her contemporary books are really good and I have a feeling I would probably enjoy them a lot. The cover of Heart Beat is absolutely gorgeous.
Happy reading and have a good weekend! 🙂
I really love the J.R. Ward series. I’ve read…the first four but I’m eager to read the others. Happy reading!

Oh my goodness, looks like you’ve got loads of great books to get stuck into! Enjoy 🙂
Yeah! What’s with Harlequin not printing the previous books in unfinished series! I’m having trouble finding the first Katie McGarry one. I’ve read the series, but need the first paper for my collection. I really need to snap up The Forever Song too while it’s still available. Brilliant series overall, can’t wait to see what you think of it.
Awesome haul this week, and hooray for eBay bargains. It’s a booklovers dream 🙂
Love the purple theme!
And the first ten Black Dagger Brotherhoood books for $30? Bargain. I broke down and bought the US covers too – which is now a pain because I am waiting for the US massmarket paperback to be released before I buy The King.
And you loved All Our Yesterdays, too? I thought it was great. Very curious as to where she is going to go with the next book.
Enjoy reading your way though such a lovely and large haul! 🙂
Ohh, I really love the cover for Heartbeat, so freaking pretty (And looks shiny) And The Forever Song, just <3 🙂
Happy reading!
Here’s mine

Oh, The Forever Song! Lucky! And great deal on the JR Ward books. I have the first couple but have yet to read them. Enjoy and Happy Reading!
Here are my newest additions.
Woah that is an awesome bargain for the J.R. Ward series, I have heard so much awesome things about it! I enjoyed Forever Song even though it was a tad cliche. Enjoy your reads, Brett!
