Mailbox Monday hosted by the Printed Page. Go check it out!
Although the last few books in this series have not been great (not even good) I still adore this series. The first 12 books are some of my absolute favorites so I can not give up on this series. I still need to read Blood Noir, the book before this one, and I plan to get to it soon. This one is already stirring up controversy with Anita and underage weretigers…sigh.
I have been waiting to read this one for weeks! It finally came in to my local bookstore. I have heard great things about it and can’t wait to start.
I pre-ordered Street Magic a long time ago from Amazon, after they suggested it as a book I would like. I am so glad I listened to Amazon, because I started this yesterday and it is really good…oh Jack Winter, you are such a baddie! Will get my thoughts up on it soon. It is the first book in the Black London series.
This was an impulse buy at Walmart. You know when you go to Walmart to buy dog food and toothpaste and you end up spending $100 on miscellaneous crap? I swear every time they suck me in. At least $7 of my overspending was worth it! First of all, this is an awesome cover. Secondly, I have read an interview at Lovin‘ Me Some Romance and it got me very interested.
Now husband close your eyes – ok, I also bought Melissa Marr’s three books – Lovely Wicked, Ink Exchange and Fragile Eternity, and Revealed by Kate Noble in print. I have all on my Kindle, but for books that I truly love, I like to have them physically sit on my bookshelf. It kills my husband when I double buy books:) How was I to know when I originally bought them as e-books I would love them so much:)
I hope everyone received good books this past week too! Happy Monday!
It sounds like you have it bad, just like me. I hope you enjoy your books!
LOL, I'm with you on having to double buy the books you love, much to hubby's horror! You are going to love The Madness of Lord Ian Mackenzie, well I hope you are, it's a fantastic read!
bermuda onion – yes, I have it bad for books!
Teddyree – I have heard great things about the book. And best of all, if I REALLY like it, it is in print, so I don't have to buy it again:)
Good haul – I just got Street Magic Myself – not started it, hope it's good…
Laurell Hamilton – i will get it eventually, probably get it second hand – i wasn't liking the last few books in the series..
Enjoy the books.

Lord Ian is a lovely read. I don't think you will be disappointed in it. As for Anita Blake's sexual adventure, I have passed on her a long time agao. Still miss the good old days when she was torn between the vamp and the werewolf.
Oooh, I hope you like Jennifer Ashley's book! I'm definitely getting Rhyannon Byrd's series, too, after reading VFG's reviews.
Hey Mandi:
You are a stronger woman than I sticking with LKH and Anita, however I hope you enjoy. I'll look forward to reading your thoughts.
I have Street Magic on my radar and will order it when I back hoe through some of the alps. Yikes…
You have a great Monday and week.

Your post made me laugh.
I never have a problem with my husband buying a new gadget or golf club, etc because I know he'll never complain about my book purchases.
Hey, there are far worse habits, right?!
EH- Street Magic is great.
KB – yeah..Anita had some good times..too bad they are all in her past.
Lea – not stronger..really. Is quite depressing to what has happened to that series.
Mary – yes, I encourage him to buy his things all the time. (to throw back at him when he complains about books..so mature we are:)
It is so hard not to buy books, isn't it? And the Melissa Mar books are really great. I have yet to read Fragile Eternity, though.
Here is what I got this past week.
I just found Marr, the first one, in the library today :D
Yay!! Let me know how you like it.
Mari – Love your blog:)
I love Rhyannon Bird books. LOVE THEM. And there's nothing wrong with buying double! Ebooks just aren't the same as physically owning them. How are you supposed to fill your keeper shelves with computer files? And won't the Kindle look pretty sitting up there all by it's lonesome? (grimace)
Great book haul Mandi!
I have the Jennifer Ashley book too. Now to find the time to read it. I've also read 'Edge of Hunger' and enjoyed it.
Happy Reading,
VFG
I just read about the underage weretiger thing in the LKH book on another blog as well. Ah well, at least people are talking about it.

Great haul of books – Walmart always sucks me in too. I want to read the Jennifer Ashley book but haven't gotten it yet. Enjoy all your books.
Great selection! I'll be posting a Street Magic review this week, and I'm on the library wait list for the Anita Blake, Lord Ian, and Fragile Eternity. I'll look forward to reading your thoughts on them! :-)
I love coming to your site and finding new book suggestions to read! Thanks!
Tia – lol..see, you get me:) Can't wait to start the Rhyannon Byrd series!!
VFG – Yes..if only we had more time to read!
Bookdaze – yeah..I will read Anita..just need to be in the right mood:)
Crystal – I hope to get to it soon!
Renee – Can't wait to read your Street Magic review! I loved it. I will have mine up early next week.
Patti – Thank you!!!! We will have to talk about True Blood when it starts!
What a great mailbox! Many great books there, I would really like to read Street Magic.
OOOh! Street magic again! I have to read that one!
Oh I just loved The Madness of Lord Ian Mackenzie – I hope you love it too!
I loved 'The Madness of Lord Ian Mackenzie'! Such a wonderful book.
