I’m still very very skint, so sticking to free/cheap reads for the moment. I got a tablet for Christmas though, so I’ve been browsing kindle freebies/deals and am planning to stock up to see me through a tight budgeting period! My other half bought me The Casual Vacancy as one of my Christmas presents, so I have at least one real book! Can you believe no one else bought me books for Christmas?! My family said I read them too quickly and they wanted to buy stuff that would last instead. My other half did then pick up a few more for me in town this week though, because he’s nice like that 🙂
Gifted:
The Casual Vacancy | Death of Kings | Field of swords | Beasts in my belfry
Kindle Freebies:
H2O | Covet | Little Red Riding Crop | Betrayal| The Descent Series | Jenny Pox | The Secret Diary of Alice in wonderland, age 42 and three-quarters | Eternal Eden
This week on the blog:
- End of 2012 book survey: Best in books
- End of 2012 book survey: Looking Ahead
- Inspired by Parajunkee: Seeking originality in book blogging
Kindle freebies are great when stretching a tight reading budget. It looks like you got lots of good ones. Susanna Kearsley has four of her books for $.99 right now. I have been seeing The Rose Garden on a number of posts. My new books posts are at Ms. Martin Teaches Media and Inside of a Dog. Happy reading!
I really need to read Jenny Pox too. How can your family say books don’t last???? Just because you read them too quickly? That’s crazy. My family hauled me up with books over Christmas and I LOVED IT! My sister once tried to protest buying them for me because sometimes I get one and don’t read it for like a year, but I told her it doesn’t matter because I’ll get to it eventually and if I asked for it, then that’s because I want it. She caved. Got me one I actually plan to start next. Enjoy your books. I’m torn about Casual Vacancy.
Check out my SP. And Happy New Year.
