GOODREADS
I have seen so many wonderful reviews for this title and now I have a copy! It was $1.98.
Baz Manchild and I loved the Enchanted Forest series, by this author, when he was young. I am excited to give this one a try. It was on sale for $1.99.
This is a Middle Grade and it sounds whimsical. It was only 99¢.
The summary sounded stellar and it will count as a music related book. It was free.
It was on special, but it is regular price now.
It was free.
The story of my people, ha ha. It was free.
Bwhahahaha... this is my homage to Annemarie, The Sausage Queen, from INKED BROWNIES during her pregnancy blogging break, and her two partners in crime: Danielle from BOOKS, VERTIGO AND TEA, and Liis from COVER TO COVER. It was 99¢, but alas, it is now $3.99.
This is a SciFi from 1922 and not only is it lauded by Tolkien, but also Ursula Le Guin. It was free.
This an 11th Hoffman for my Kindle collection. I have read three of them. It was $1.99.
I'm due for a re-read. It was 99¢.

I received seven eARCs on Friday between NG and EW. Yikes! And I was doing so well. I am too tired to add them this month, one of them was RAMONA BLUE. I also found my finished hardcover of ALL THESE WONDERS from Blogging For Books in my mailbox. It is beautiful.
