This is a weekly event hosted by Jennifer, Lili,
Stephanie, Helen, and Tynga @ Tynga's Reviews!

time constraints.)

This week's haul!!
Books Purchased
I've heard of this author before, but never
read one of her books.
Then I came across this one on Ebay,
and fell in love with the plot,
because the central character is
a female Episcopalian priest.
Although some Christian denominations
do not allow women to be either
priests or pastors, I totally disagree!
Every Balogh novel is a pure delight,
and I know this one will be, too!
I love the idea of a jaded aristocrat
being taught about true love and passion
by a woman he had meant to seduce,
with no strings attached....
This immortal masterpiece needs
no introduction!
It's my very favorite classic, too,
so I have several editions of it.
This is the latest addition to my collection!!
I think I own most of the books in
The Mortal Instruments series,
but I haven't read it yet.....
There are so many books I need to read!!
Hopefully, I'll be able to start this
particular series soon!
I want to at least get to the first book
before I see the movie.....
I recently discovered this exciting series
on the Barnes & Noble website!
(It's also available on Amazon.)
This is a fantasy set in the British
Regency period.
I've never heard of such a combination.
It should prove fascinating!!
This looks like a very compelling novel,
and the cover is awesome!
Besides, I love the aura of mystery
surrounding this romance,
involving a boy the heroine meets
through her midnight swims...
This is an omnibus edition of
three Ben Bova novels:
The Precipice (2001), The Rock Rats (2002),
and The Silent War (2004).
I haven't read any science fiction for a while,
and Bova is supposed to be great!
What do you think of my
haul this week?
What fascinating books
have you stacked on your shelves?
Yay, you've got Shadowborn, Maria! I really enjoyed Darkborn, so this book is on my wishlist as well. I hope you have fun with each one of these beautiful reads!
ReplyDeleteHi, Kara!
DeleteYeah, I saw "Shadowborn" on the Barnes & Noble website, at a bargain price! So I bought it. The only negative thing is that the book has a remainder mark, and I that those.... I should have known! Oh, well....it's in great shape otherwise. Now I'm going to get the other two books in the series!
I know I'll enjoy each and every one of these books! Thanks so much for visiting and commenting!! : )
The fairly "late" publication dates of the Ben Bova novels made me Google him. I am happy to see that he is still writing. I read some of the books that he wrote back in the 1970s and 1980 some tome ago.. I really like him.
ReplyDeleteI also really like the cover art.
Hey, Brian!
DeleteI've been hearing about Bova for quite a while now, but have yet to read any of his books. I know he's one of the classic SF writers, so I definitely want to read his work.
I agree on the cover art -- it's GREAT, although not exactly one of my faves.
Thanks for visiting and commenting!! : )
Nice haul. Happy reading :)

ReplyDeleteThoughts and Pens
Hi, Charlotte!
DeleteOh, you caught on right away, huh? Lol. I am indeed a hoarder!
Yes, both series are wonderful, I know. And the movie's coming out on August 20th?! Yikes!! I don't have much time! OMG....
Thanks for visiting and commenting!! : )
I read City of Bones not that long ago, and I'm dying to read (and hoard) the rest of the series lol. I hope you enjoy your haul!
ReplyDeleteMy STS.
Hi, Jillyn!
DeleteI really have to do something about reading "City of Bones" soon....or else I won't be able to see the movie when it opens, because I hate to see the movie before reading the book! And I definitely will enjoy my haul!
Thanks for visiting and commenting!! : )
Interesting haul of books. City of Bones is the only one in your haul that I recognize. Come visit me as well.

Hi, Grace!
DeleteYeah, I'm a very eclectic reader! But you must know "Jane Eyre"! If you haven't read it, you MUST. It's a great classic!
Thanks for visiting and commenting!! : )
I really want to read the first book in the Mortal Instrument series before the movie, too, but I just can't seem to get to it. I like that cover for Jane Eyre! I don't think I've ever seen that one before. Great haul!
DeleteHey, Natalie!
DeleteYeah, I sure know the feeling! I can't seem to get to it, either....
I'm so glad you like this cover for "Jane Eyre"! I found the book on Ebay, but it's also available at Barnes & Noble.
Glad you like my haul, as well! Thanks for visiting and commenting back!! : )
I've had Wrecked for what seems like a long time, and I've never read it! I hope you enjoy all of your books!
ReplyDeleteHere's my Stacking the Shelves
Hey, Marianne!
DeleteThis book sure has a GREAT cover, right? Hope you get to read it soon! I don't know when I'll able to read mine, though...I have SO many books on my TBR list....
Thanks for the visit and the comment!! : )
