It's all that Cindy's fault

Yep - Cindy just had to go and mention that Chapters had all books on for 20% off this weekend. I wasn't even dressed yet when I read that - but didn't take me long to get dressed. And I just have to live less than 3 minutes away from Chapters!

So this self-proclaimed book addict is now the proud owner of yet more books.

First off - Not Another Bad Date by Rachel Gibson. Now I don't like all her books - but the ones I do like, I really like. I'm hoping that's the case with this one










Next we have Moonstruck by Susan Grant. I own all her books so far and while I'm a little bit behind on her last two - I have to keep the streak going - don't I?











Then we have The Lost Duke of Wyndham by Julia Quinn. I know, I know I said I would never buy another book with the word Duke in the title. But I used to love Julia Quinn and now that she is finished the way-to-long Bridgerton series, I wanted to try her again and this one is getting good reviews








And next, Dark and Dangerous by Jeanne Adams, because I like trying new authors and the price was right, I picked this one up











And then Dark Obsession by Allison Chase made it's way into my hands mostly because of the same reasons as above and it sounds like a Gothic and it's been a while since I've read one of them.










I had to get The Darkest Kiss by Gena Showalter since I bought the first one in the new series,











Again the price was too hard to resist so I picked up Lord Scandal by Kalen Hughes. And someone somewhere read it and blogged about it.











I got The Healer by Sharon Sala because I've really enjoyed her books in the past. And she did refuse to wear the horse/unicorn costume. One has to admire her for that.










Now what I didn't mention earlier was that yesterday I bought one book. So I have to include it since it's still the weekend.
An Impetuous Abduction by Patricia Rowell is now in The Pile.









Now what makes this whole thing really insane and clearly I can't even find the justification for today's madness except I'm a total addict is I got some books from Katie this past week, including:


Letters to a Secret Lover by Toni Blake

Night Keepers by Jessica Andersen








So - there you have it. A glimpse into the week of a book addict~

**********ETA**********

I did not notice this when I bought the books - 20% off was all I heard, but when I was just cataloging them just now I noticed something I hadn't seen before.

REJOICE FELLOW CANADIANS!!!!!!! REJOICE!!!!!!!!!

PRICES ARE COMING DOWN.

So - what does one do when they have trouble deciding which book to read?

If they are a bookaholic like me, they might make the problem a whole lot more difficult by going on a book buying binge.
Yes the beginning of each new month can be an expensive time of the month. It certainly was for me this month. I didn't plan on doing this - it just seemed to happen. As if figuring out what book I felt like reading wasn't bad enough, I had to make it even more difficult! Below is the example of my insanity

Bewitched by Sandra Schwab.
I met her - what a nice person!



Dark Needs at Night's Edge
The insanity continues with this author. I have all her books, but I've only read one so far.












Dark Seduction by Kathleen Korbel
I've read a couple of books by her and really like them




Fire and Ice by Anne Stuart
This one was a given though I've still yet to finish Ice Storm










Nameless by Debra Webb
I read good things about this one at AAR. Interestingly enough I found it in the Suspense section





Last Wolf Standing by Ryannon Byrd
This one was a spec buy. And I like werewolves











Scions Insurrection by Patrice Michelle
I saw a review on this one and decided to give it a try - I think - I can't remember really why I got this one.



Solar Heat by Susan Kearney
I read one of hers I really liked and I tried reading another one and it was a DNF. The one I enjoyed was a SciFi Romance...and every author needs another chance.










Take Me If You Can by Karen Kendall
I've read a book or two by her before and quite enjoyed them. And I love RS these days.



Taken By The Viking by Michelle Styles
See - I said dumb titles wouldn't keep me from reading books I really want to. I may not like 'em - but I'll read 'em. And there just isn't enough Viking books.









Isn't she done yet????? you are all thinking. Nope - I tell you insanity rules!



Taming the Texan by Charlene Sands
Let's hear it for the Western!


Maverick Wild by Stacey Kayne
You know - I have this funny feeling I already have this one. Oops











The Darkest Night by Gena Showalter
Her Author Talk videos with Jill Monroe are priceless. And I loved Savor Me S.L.O.O.O.W.L.Y.



Traceless by Debra Webb
When I picked up Nameless, I saw this one beside it picked it up to read the storyline. Town bad boy jailed for crime he didn't commit. Was there any question this one wouldn't go in the pile???








And be sure to come back later. Katie and I have something up our collective sleeves!!


~~~~~ETA~~~~~

Aaaccckkk!!!
I forgot one!! See - I have PILES of books all around the room and I'm cleaning/catalogueing and this one came to light.

Demon Night by Meljean Brook
I got this one 'cause - well - it's Meljean!!
